Stock Market Volatile Tape...Choppy Action... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
It's starting to get violent as both sides are fighting for control of this market. It's about the bulls holding on to the 200-day exponential moving averages while the bears are intent on holding any rally before the bulls can take back those 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages. There is a real fight going on here and for good reason. If the bears can take out the 200-day exponential moving averages on all the major index charts, they can declare victory as they will have removed all critical support with the 20's/50's and 200's all gone.

FEAR DAVOS 2010, Into The Bomb Shelter / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Predators and parasites recently gathered in Davos to discuss the mounting problems of their prey. All present agreed the problem needed urgent attention.
Historian David Hackett Fisher describes this passing era as the period of Victorian Equilibrium. England’s Victorian Equilibrium, however, was built on banker’s credit, a foundation of sand; and like the story of Cinderella where the carriage turns into a pumpkin at midnight, the banker’s credit has now turned into defaulting debt and the fairy-tale world it built is collapsing.

Stock Market Former Support is Now Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Graham_Summers
Yesterday I explained why the market began to rally sharply Friday afternoon. Today we’re looking at where the market is from a technical perspective. Be forewarned, if you’re a bull, what follows isn’t pretty.
For starters, the first thing we need to keep prominent in our thinking is that the market rally from March 2009-January 2010 was largely a technically driven rally fueled by easy money from the world’s Central Banks: Governments around the engaged in an unprecedented amount of stimulus/ bailouts and much of this money found its way into the financial markets.

Stock Market Funny Action Friday: What Happened? / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Graham_Summers
Many investors have written in asking me what happened on Friday. For those of you who weren’t watching the tape, stocks entered a free fall around 1PM Eastern Time. It looked like we were going to get another massive drop similar to the one that occurred at Thursday’s open.
However, suddenly at 2PM stocks began to stage a sharp reversal with virtually every major US index ramping over 1% in a matter of minutes. Having collapsed for days, stocks actually managed to close Friday at a gain.

Stocks and Gold Slice Through Support / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

The S&P 500 sliced through its January lows yesterday, killing any notion that this latest drop is just a brief dip with which to buy. The next lines of support are the November low (1,040) and then the October low (1,020).

Stock Market Bounce No Follow Through... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
And that's what everyone was expecting after that wonderful hammer on all the critical index charts in the last hour on Friday. The S&P 500 touched the 200-day exponential moving average at 1046 (1044 print) and then burst higher. It was the first test in an extremely long time and after losing the 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages, one would think that whichever index got down to the 200-day exponential moving average first would give the market a quick blast higher and that's what happened.

Stock Market Massive Head and Shoulders Bearish Price Pattern / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
Major stock market indices put in outside weekly reversals last week, which is a bearish technical indication the intermediate-term trend may have finally rejoined the primary forces that would see prices far lower were it not for official intervention. And although this intervention is now getting talked about in the press in a more intelligent fashion, even if only on a very limited basis, it should be understood most remain oblivious to what makes the stock market world go round.

By: PaddyPowerTrader
A choppy whippy day but US stocks rose Friday, with the Dow Jones erasing a 167-point drop in the final hour of trading, on speculation the European Union may propose a solution for Greece’s budget deficit. Oil, gold and copper rebounded, and the dollar pared its gain. The late day rally has been put down to short covering.

Stock Market Close to Finding a Short-term Bottom / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Angelo_Campione
General Commentary: The system for the SPY is on a Buy signal 50%
The market was able to make some nice gains early on in the week, but then panic set in on Thursday and we saw all the gains wash away with a 3% drop for one session. Friday continued the drop except that we saw a recovery late in the session and this could now set up a nice bounce in the near term.

U.S. Joins Global Debt Bomb Club / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: The most important fundamental development of the week was not any of a slew of economic reports at all but the new federal budget proposal released by the White House. And it was a doozy: The Obama Administration proposed to spend $3.8 trillion, with $1.6 trillion on the equivalent of the national credit card.
