Quiet Day On Wall Street; Commodities Rally:

Quiet Day On Wall Street; Commodities Rally:

Monday was a quiet day on Wall Street as gold and silver soared. In the future, to avoid any confusion, we are no longer going to use outside resources to label the market. A popular outside source changed their label on Friday to Market in a confirmed rally, without a proper FTD emerging. This is bizarre and frankly plain irresponsible. From our standpoint, the rally that began on September 1, 2010 is still intact and we said that in our commentary on November 16, 2010 when the outside source said the rally ended. Full Story here. If anyone has any questions about this, please feel free to fill out our contact form.

It is encouraging to see the bulls show up this week and defend the 50 DMA lines for the major averages. Wednesday marked Day 1 of a new rally attempt for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the benchmark S&P 500 which means the earliest a possible FTD could emerge for those indices is Monday. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite and small-cap Russell 2000 indexes marked Day 10 of their respective rally attempts which means the window remains open for either of those two indices to score a proper FTD. Trade accordingly.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NYSE composite both sliced below their respective 50 DMA lines on Monday which is not a healthy sign. The 12-week rally ended on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 after the major averages plunged in heavy volume back down towards their respective 50 DMA lines. In recent weeks, we have repeatedly written about how the major averages were experiencing wide-and-loose action after a big move and made it very clear that that was not a healthy sign. At this point, we are looking for a new rally to be confirmed with a new follow-through day before taking any new positions. Caution and patience are key at this point. Trade accordingly.
