The indices extended their rally to nominal new 2009 highs earlier today, as they spiked up on positive economic news. The Nasdaq 100 reached 1655, and the S&P 500 neared 1038. They sold off sharply but held support, and then bounced mid-day to retry another run to highs, but they fell short and sold off most of the afternoon, although did have a bounce in the last hour or so to preserve the gains for the day. Net on the day the Dow was up 30.01 to 9539.29, about 80 points off its high. The S&P 500 gained 2.43 to 1028, 9 points off its high, and the Nasdaq 100 was up 5 points at 1639.90, about 16 points off its high.

Potash (POT) Past Arc And Current Fibonacci Resistance

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 05:21:06 GMT

Potash (POT) was a major “go-go” stock of 2007 and part of 2008 as it helped investors ride up the commodity market ‘boom,’ but the crash was severe in the latter part of 2008, erasing almost all of the prior gains. We’ve rallied sharply in 2009, but as you’ll see from the chart, the recent 70% rally from the late 2008 lows into the June 2009 highs was only able to reach the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement price of the entire down-move, which provided major resistance there. Let’s take a look at both of these examples. First, I wanted to show the ‘arc’ beginning in late 2006 that traversed upwards into a climax at the $240 level when the arc turned vertical - such price advances are[More...]

Choppy Up-Session

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:42:34 GMT

The stock market indices started off the week with another gain, but it was choppy. The day started out moving lower, but the indices held support and turned it around sharply. The Nasdaq 100 (NDX) rallied from a session low from around 469 to the 493 1/2 area, and the S&P 500 (SPX) at that point rallied from 916 to about 927. A mid-day pullback brought them back to test. They bounced late afternoon, but couldn’t break out and then rolled over towards the end of the session, paring back the gains. Still, net on the day the Dow was up 90.99 to 8529.38, the S&P 500 up 8.33 to 927.23, and the Nasdaq 100 up 3.63 to 1483.83. Advance-declines were about 3 to 2 positive on New York, but about 15 to 12 negative on Nasdaq. Certainly an intraday technical divergence. Up/down volume was 2 to 1 positive on New York on light total volume of just over 1 billion. Nasdaq[More...]
