Every so often, it is healthy to step back and look at the bigger picture to filter out the noise (enter negative headline of your choice here) and objectively analyze the health of the market. As is usually the case, there are no shortage of negative headlines but stepping back- the major averages are acting relatively well when viewed on a weekly basis. 

Here are a few weekly charts for your review.
S&P 500

Dow Jones Industrial Average:

  • DJIA, Nasdaq Composite, & S&P 500 Are All Above Resistance

    Byinfo@50park.com

    As of 2:45pm EST on Thursday, July 22, 2010 all the major averages are trading above their respective two month downward trendlines and their 50 DMA lines. However, it is a bit disconcerting to see volume recede as the market moves higher. This is the exact opposite of what one would like to see when the major averages rally above resistance. It is also important to note that the major averages are rallying up to an area where they encountered resistance several times in recent weeks and they are still below their longer term 200 DMA lines. That said, we can not argue with the tape and the bulls deserve the bullish benefit of the doubt until this “breakout” is negated. Trade accordingly.

  • 7 Things That Concern Me About This Rally- Right Now

    Byinfo@50park.com

    1. We have come too far too fast. How many times do you remember seeing the SP500 soar 17% in 3 weeks (or know of it ever happening in history)? And the kicker- the move has been on below average volume! Moreover, if the market is to get back to 1370 (2011 highs) by year end- it will have to move 28% from Oct 4- Dec 31. Possible, but probable?
    2. Nothing has changed- the “fundamental” mess that sent a slew of risk assets lower over the summer (i.e. US and EU debt issues, anemic economic growth, etc.)- are still unresolved… Everyone (right now) is focused on Greece. However, even if Greece is “handled” it does not address the broader issue: The other PIIGS are broke!

    3. Most bear markets last 18-24 months- not less than 1 day. The S&P 500 officially hit bear market territory on 10/4 (down 20% from its 2011 high) and that lasted for a tenth of a second because that was the exact low for the year (so far). Normally, the 18-24 months allow stocks to reset their bases and paves the way for new leadership to emerge.
