With all the rampant volatility of the last few days, it’s easly to lose focus on the larger structure. Tuesday, the S&P 500 tested its 200 month moving average - Wednesday, it broke it. Let’s view the monthly S&P 500 and Dow Jones Index charts.
S&P 500 Monthly:
After price violated the 50 month EMA to the downside, the eventual initial target was indeed the rising 200 month SMA - I’m just shocked at how quickly it happened. We’ve lost 300 S&P points in just over one month - a remarkable and stunning development. We’ve also blown through the well-known large-scale Fibonacci retracements as well - almost as if they weren’t there.
Price is now back to levels not seen since 2003, and there’s the great potential that if you put money to work at virtually any time since 1998, you are currently underwater (have lost money). I cannot underscore how staggering that sentiment is - to be fully invested for 10 years and ha...

Für alle, die von der Finanzkrise genausoviel verstehen, wie ich: Loriot hat’s schon immer gewusst.
Wenn man einmal von der Ertragsstabilität als restriktiver Notenbankpolitik im Sinne der Verminderung des realen Volumens der industriellen Bruttoanlageinvestitionen, die derzeit fünfdreiviertel Prozent unter dem Dow Jones Index liegen, absieht, kann ohne Wechselkursfreigabe oder stabilitive Selbstfinanzierungsmöglichkeit keine echte Kapazitätsausl... more

Fun Intraday Trades From: blog.afraidtotrade.com Post Date: 2008-03-04 22:54:42
Tuesday’s action provided a plethora of key set-ups and high probability trades on the short time frame intraday charts on the US Indexes.
Let’s check out the Dow Jones “Diamonds” ETF (DIA):
The first trade when there’s an overnight gap is to fade the gap for at least a 50% retracement and a potential full gap fade. Today only gave us a 50% fade trade early on.
At the failure to close the gap, the market offered up a clear bear flag trade... more
Ben at The Financial Ninja blog posted examples of “ Really Scary Federal Reserve Charts ,” in which he discusses some alarming facts straight from the Federal Reserve.
Ben makes good use of the Federal Reserve website of St. Louis, which I had highlighted in a previous post about the coolness of the data available to you there.
Notice the ’scariest’ chart, which discusses that non-borrowed bank reserves have gone negative.
Just a few months ago, non-borrowed... more
Today saw yet another gap fade and bear flag so far:
In February, 75% of trading days had an overnight gap. Will March be similar? So far, we’re 2 for 2!
Again, the first play is to fade the gap for at least a 50% retracement into the gap. The pure target is yesterday’s close, but sometimes a more tantalizing trade develops in the form of a bear flag into moving average resistance.
If you’re apt at candlesticks, you’ll notice the large upper shadows ... more
Let’s look at some insights from the Sector Rotation Model and also Sector Returns to date:
Since the start of 2008, all nine Sector SPDRs were negative, with Materials performing the ‘best’ by only losing 0.36%.
Technology has fared the poorest, losing a massive 17% (thanks to Google and Apple and many others under intense pressure).
If we compare these returns and make them relative to the S&P Index, we see clues from the Sector Rotation Theory... more
