"For the new week, the technicals are still carrying a bias to the downside. The M&A activities and the speculations for them are offsetting the inconsistency in the latest economic reports. The M&A activities are bringing buyers into some sectors. However, the industrials have been weak on further […]

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I forecasted,
"For the new week, the latest development in the charts are certainly not bullish. However, it may not necessarily dictate a breakdown. If SPX 1080 does not hold, the next support is 1060, set back in mid-July. The market could still be range-bound, and, is very mixed."

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said,
"For the new week, the market can run further into its newly developed bullish formation. The market has already stuttered around the SPX 1120 to 1130 area for a long time. If it’s going to break higher, it’ll have to catch the daily upper BB. This will mean […]

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said,
"VIX has sank back below 24, which could signal the intention to rally. We’ll have to see if the market can continue to push higher and stay above SPX 1100. If SPX 1100 is cleared, SPX should retest the 1120 level. Miners went up quite a bit last […]
