Stocks & Commodities Get Smacked As USD Rallies

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

Stock Market Commentary:

Stocks and commodities ended lower as the US dollar continued its four day advance. Volume patterns remain healthy as the major averages are now in their 11th week of their ongoing rally. On average, market internals remain healthy evidenced by an upward sloping Advance/Decline line and the fact that new 52-week highs continue to easily outnumber new 52-week lows on both exchanges.

EU Debt Woes Send Dollar Higher:

The euro fell to a two week low versus the US dollar as concern spread that some European governments will struggle to repay their debt. This sent a slew of dollar denominated assets lower (mainly stocks and commodities). These markets are currently very extended and a pullback of some sort will do wonders to restore the health of the 11-week bull run we are in.

Market Action- Confirmed Rally, Week 11:

Heretofore, the action since this rally was confirmed on the September 1, 2010 follow-through day (FTD) has been strong but the market action has been wide-and-loose which is not a healthy sign. The next level of support for the major averages is their September highs, then their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. Trade accordingly.

  • Stocks Tank On Tepid Jobs Report; Euro Plunges To A New Multi-Year Low!

    The author of “How To Make Money In Stocks”, the book that explains the fact-based investment system, has observed in the past that a market should not be considered to be in “healthy” shape unless at least 2 of the 3 major averages are trading above their rising 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. Only the Nasdaq Composite Index is currently above its long-term average, meanwhile the S&P 500 and Dow are encountering resistance. It would be very encouraging to see a proper follow-through-day (FTD) emerge for the benchmark S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average to offer additional confirmation of a hearty new rally. Yet, acknowledging that we have a new confirmed rally based on the latest market improvements, the window is now considered to be open again to begin buying high-ranked stocks that trigger new technical buy signals but caution is sometimes the better part of valor.

  • Tough Week on Wall Street

    Market Action- Market In A Correction; 28-Week Rally Ends
    All the major averages sliced below their respective 50 DMA lines on Thursday, March 10, 2011 and have fallen hard since then. Thursday, March 17, 2011 marked day 1 of a new rally attempt which means that the earlest a possible follow-through day (FTD) could emerge would be Tuesday, as long as Thursday’s lows are not breached. However, if Thursday’s lows are breached, then the day count will be reset and odds will favor lower prices, not higher, will follow. It is important to note that the recent ominous action reiterates the importance of raising cash and playing strong defense until a new FTD emerges.

This means that we will now be looking for any distribution days (high volume declines) to emerge to gauge the strength of this nascent rally. So far, it is a much welcomed sign to see the market continue to improve as investors digest the latest round of stronger than expected economic and earnings data. Remember that now that a new rally has been confirmed the window is now open to start buying high quality breakouts. Trade accordingly.

    The market is back in a confirmed uptrend after a modest (and healthy) -6% correction from its post-recovery highs. We find it very bullish to see the mid cap S&P 400 index hit a fresh all time high and the small cap Russell 2000 index flirt with its all time high. in addition, the Dow Jones Industrial Average vaulted to a fresh post-recovery high and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite are just shy of fresh 2011 highs! Finally, we are very happy to see a slew of high ranked stocks trigger fresh technical buy signals in recent weeks which suggests higher, not lower prices lie ahead.
