Self-serving commentary at best. Follow the charts and wait for a 20/50 MA cross on the daily chart before thinking about possibility of a major bear market rally.]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:28:43 -0500

Yes, no volume as the SPY volume was about 1/2 the 30 day avg as well with the QQQQs. Oh well, a trend is a trend. But, without volume and money flows to confirm this move, a reversal is always possible so move your stops up.

Too many fund & hedge managers are down 30-50% this year so they need a "window dressing" rally between now and Dec 31st 4:00pm EST to make their 2008 performance look better. And, into early 2009.

Too much self-serving commentary out there with people who are down big time and need a bail-out (sound familiar these days?) rally just keep them going into 2009.

I want a rally too. However, the rally since Nov 21st has been pathetically weak with limited volume and money flows. You still get the talking heads on CNBC talking up Nov 21st rally as they bottom. But, most are not that stupid and can read a chart and realize that it has been accompanied by limited big money players.

All rallies, including present one from Nov 21st, have all been usually below avg vol.

Volume and money flows will indicate how far this rallies goes.

SPY volume was actually 80 million less yesterday than on Friday's rally. See if that continues to give you a good idea of how long this pre-santa claus rally lasts.]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:57:09 -0500

Remember the so-called bottom of the Fall of 2001 as a case example of Wall Street getting tried of selling/shorting in deeply oversold daily/weekly charts and covering their shorts and going long sucking in the regular investors, and then crushing them later in 2002.

A lot of mutual funds and hedgies are down 30-50% in 2008 so they need this rally to just to stay alive in 2009. Those talking heads on CNBC and especially on CNBC Fast Money show, are DOWN this year and have been praying for a rally. Cramer has been a crying pig these days with his daily commentary going back and forth in a manic fashion.]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 11:32:47 -0500

This coming week will be a good market participation test as a weekly close above S&P 900/Dow 8850 would mean we are setting up for a possible test of the 50 day MAs.

The news is going to be attrocious throughout December just like today's jobs report, but the charts are still way too oversold to commit large sums of capital on the short side. Least path of resistance is up until trendline resitance is reached.

just follow the 10 month exponential moving avg (EMA) on the S&P 500 Monthly chart (200 day on Daily, 40 weekly charts) to help decide when the market has turned from a bear to bull market. when you get a monthly closes above 10 ema monthly, then that is a very relilable signal that the market has gone from bear to bull. monthly charts weed out the daily noise you have in the markets and provide you with the big picture of whether you are in a bull or bear market.

based on previous down cycles in the market, it just doesn't happen right away no matter how much the S&P has lost this year. HOWEVER, we are so oversold on the all long-term charts that the "mother of all over-sold bear market rallies" is entirely possible up to the longer-term moving avgs.

tomorrow's job reports will give you a good clue on whether the intermediate trend is about to change for the next few months. the market has been pricing in bad news since the Nov 21st DOW lost of 7450.
