S&P 500 Update (13.07)

July 13th, 2009
spx-12-07

Market has finally shows sings of life – the 870 area held and we are facing a nice rally from the lows. This is a good sign. Still, the resistance at 900 is not breached, which makes me nervous here. Before going long in this market, I would like to see a 900-910 area to be breached on high volume and some positive news. This will bring the bulls back into the market and will force short covering.

My projection is that we might see some consolidation at 900-910, after that the upward action will continue. Next big resistance will be at 1000 points.

Market is ready to reverse (23.06)

June 23rd, 2009

Check out MACD divergence and the strong market action from the lows today. If we will hold 890 and break above 900, I believe we will reach 920-930 preatty quick. It is possible whycoff in the making. Of course we need to  hold 890 first.

Market update (18.06)

June 18th, 2009

After re-evaluating my last comments about the market and comparing it with the current situation, I think it is a good time to buy right now foer the next move higher. It seems that the pullback has finally found its support level. There is also a pretty strong divergence on 1-hour MACD.

To be finally sure if we are ready to go higher or not, the market needs to stay above 930-935. At the moment I woudl suggest to cover 1/2 of your short position (if you are short) and try to go long the same size at ~915. In this case my short term target will be 930, where you might want to move your stop loss to break even.

Currencies and S&P 500.

June 5th, 2009

Currencies look toppish here. I not so sure about  the stock market though. Check out the charts:

eur-usd-50608.png

Even though EUR/USD is trading in the channel right now, I believe it needs to retrace to at least 1.38 to continue its upward move. This would be a really healful sing. Otherwise it’ll start to look otherbough, which may result in a suddent reversal.

EUR/JPY has also almost reached my target and is pulling back a little. 134-133 is a good area to buy into this pair.

The interesting thing about S&P 500 is that despite the rise of more than 40% in 12 weeks there are still people out there who are pushing it higher. The fact that the market has recovered from its lows today, also support the idea of further rice. If we will be able to hold this level, next week will be VERY bullish and I will be looking for 1000 points in the index. If this doesn’t happen and the market will fall into the negative territory, next support area is at 905-915.

More upside.

May 29th, 2009

The market is ready to breakout much higher. I would say another  40-50 points to the upside.

spx-2905.png

S&P 500 is trading in the consolidation area right now. Usually, after it breaks above upward resistance it continues to go in the direction of the trend.

For those of, who are trading currencies, EUR/JPY has just broke from the symmetrical triangle and going higher. My ultimate target is 140.00, so I would suggest to buy at any significant pullback.

As for another currency pair – EUR/USD, I think ~1,4100 would be a an intermediate top. This may also coincide with the intermediate top in S&P 500.

What to expect next (S&P 500).

May 24th, 2009

If we don’t hold above 900 level, I expect to see more downside in the coming weeks, as we can drop another 40-50 points. Here are the charts:

One thing you have to keep in mind though. As, we are in a really nervous market right now, any news can cause a change of direction. So, keep your stops in place. Here is another possibility:

Either way, it is worth to have stops above 905.

Looking for more upside.

May 18th, 2009

If S&P 500 futures make it above 893, we might see a 20-25 point rise.

View on the markets (11.05)

May 10th, 2009

Long time no see.

Unfortunately, due to my other activities I will be able to post only 1-2 times a week. During my absence the market showed that this rally has really got some legs. So, I also changed my intermediate term view from bearish to slightly bullish. There are two possibilities:

  1. Market will correct itself a little bit and then will continue to go higher on lower levels throughout the summer and we won’t see any significant correction until Autumn, as every pullback will be bought.
  2. We will be stuck within a boring trading range, until some significant news will shake the market one way or the other,

So, here is my view on the market for the coming months:

eur-usd-1105.png

EUR/USD – ready to take off.

gold-1105.png

GOLD – possible pullback, continuation of the up move.

ndx-1105.png

NASDAQ – this is the weakest index of all. Still it has ton of support at 1280-1300 levels. And we won’t see any dramatical change in trend unless 1240-1250 is taken out. Until this happens I would be the buyer at all key support levels.

spx1-1105.png

spx2-1105.png

S&P 500 – Fist chart shows a really nice buying area at 890. On the second chart we can see a bigger picture, which shows potential Whycoff formation with a target of 1200! Still the market needs some time to consolidate itself before such a huge move up. I woul suggest buying at ~870. Bulls are safe here, while we are trading above 840/870. If this levels are taken out, I would have to reevaluate my view.

Here is an example of how todays market action might play out. Buying after break out would be a nice strategy for a 10 poit move. Stop 5 points.
