Well, the market just kept on “slip sliding away”. Ironically, the lyrics of this “Simon & Garfunkel” song say, “You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away.” Funny, these hippie song writers perhaps knew more than what we give them credit for, as the market capitulation may be near.

I’m cautiously “more” optimistic. If this is indeed establishing the bottom, then, we haven’t seen the real bounce yet. The initial bounce will need to take SPX to 1375-1410 (the 2 resistance […]

The market’s downward momentum accelerated drastically today by the low ISM number, stirring more economic concerns. The market could not hold its 10-day MA and it slid continuously until the close.
The Dow was down 370.03 points; SPX fell 44.18 points; and Nasdaq tumbled 73.28 points.
Most sectors were lower today:

The market spent its time today letting off some steam. It held up well, with techs being a little weaker. This weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said,
“For the new week, I think the market could feel the need to vent. How the market handles the venting will be very important. …If the […]

The market opened lower this morning with disappointing new home sales data. But, the market climbed higher all day to close at the day’s high! This weekend, I said in my weekly Market Forecast,
“For the new week, I think Monday is going to be very important. The market needs to close above […]

That was a nice way to start the week, the month, and the new quarter!! In my Market Forecast this weekend, I said, “The overall market situation is perhaps better than I had thought. The sideways-trading this week has allowed the market to vent without losing any altitude, and in fact, it gained a […]

The market rallied today. The Dow gained almost +100 points! SPX added +8.21 points, and Nasdaq jumped another +15.58! This rally was actually well-distributed, in that some of the usual leaders just sort of “sat and watched”. For example, GOOG closed down 0.84 points, BIDU lost almost 12, AMZN was flat, […]
