Global Markets Are Smacked!

Thursday, May 05, 2011
Stock Market Commentary:

Stocks fell for the fourth consecutive day after jobless claims unexpectedly rose last week and a host of other capital markets (i.e. oil, silver, gold, etc) plunged in heavy volume. From our vantage point, the market rally is under pressure due to the lackluster action in the major averages and so many leading stocks.

Jobless Claims Rise & Global Markets Continue To Pullback:

On Thursday, global capital markets continued their week-long pullback to consolidate their recent and robust gains. Before Thursday’s open, the Labor Department said U.S. jobless claims rose by +43,000 to 474,000. A separate report showed U.S. productivity slowed in the first quarter as labor costs rose. Looking forward, investors are now waiting for April’s non-farm payrolls report which is slated to be released before Friday’s open.

Market Outlook- Rally Under Pressure

From our point of view, the market rally is under pressure which suggests caution is paramount at this stage. We would be remiss not to note that a slew of  leading stocks suffered heavy distribution earlier this week which is not ideal.

    Market Outlook- Uptrend Under Pressure:
    The last week of June’s strong action suggests the market is back in a confirmed rally. As our longstanding clients/readers know, we like to filter out the noise and focus on what matters most: market action. That said, the current rally is under pressure as investors patiently await earnings season and continue to digest the latest economic data. Until the major averages violate their respective 50 DMA lines on a closing basis, the market deserves the bullish benefit of the doubt.

    It is also important to note that it was encouraging to also see the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the benchmark S&P 500 Index rally above their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines last week. The 200 DMA line should now act as support as this market continues advancing, while any reversal below that key technical level would be a worrisome sign.
    Remember to remain very selective because all of the major averages are still trading below their downward sloping 50 DMA lines (which is the next area of resistance). It is also important to note that approximately 75% of FTDs lead to new sustained rallies, while 25% fail. In addition, every major rally in market history has begun with a FTD, but not every FTD leads to a new rally. Trade accordingly.

    Market Outlook- Rally Under Pressure:
    The major averages confirmed their latest rally attempt on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 which was the 11th day of their latest rally attempt. It is important to note that all major rallies in history began with a FTD however not every FTD leads to a new rally (i.e. several FTDs fail). In addition, it is important to note that the major averages still are under pressure as they are all trading below their longer and shorter term moving averages (50 and 200 DMA lines) and are all still negative year-to-date. Our longstanding clients/readers know, we like to filter out the noise and focus on what matters most: market action. This rally will fail if/when several distribution days emerge or August’s lows are breached. Until then, the bulls deserve the benefit of the doubt.
