This weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said, "…the market has gone quite far, so it may need a breather through the mid-week." This is what the market is doing right now, basically trading sideways.

Last night, in my weekly Market Forecast, I mentioned that we’ll need to see some more "venting" in some of the commodity sectors. Indeed today, we saw weakness in these sectors.

But, quickly after the first 15-minutes of trading, things started to lose momentum. The commodities were still very weak. Coals, metals and fertilizers all went even lower today. Techs also […]

This weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said,
“The market is fighting to make this recovery stick. Nasdaq tested its daily upper BB last week and its 10-day MA has gone above the 30-day MA. The 20-day MA has turned up. SPX, on the other hand, is seeing the 10-day MA above the 20-day MA, but, […]

Well, it is still pretty much all about the financials on the market. Even with the housing bill passed this weekend, the financial sector still could not find any cheering today. XLF fell another 4.7% to close below $20. FNM and FRE opened up in the morning, but, quickly slid into the […]
