July 5, 2010 – 9:42 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, this week is still range-bound with a bearish bias.  The longer the market hangs below SPX 1080, the more likely we’ll see SPX test 1040 soon again.  However, if the market rises above 1100, we’ll likely see a new bullish formation in SPX’s [...]

June 20, 2010 – 8:18 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, things may be a bit tricky.  First of all, it’s options expiration week, so some "maneuvers" are to be expected.  The market is definitely trying to draw a bottom.  But, after charging higher 2 days in a row, we may see some indecisiveness [...]

June 6, 2010 – 8:13 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, the market is definitely struggling to bounce from May’s slump.  However, Europe’s financial problems may be worse than that of the US, as China’s Premier warned of a possible double-dip in the global economy’s attempt to recover.  Charts are certainly showing the same [...]

May 31, 2010 – 7:03 pm

First of all, happy Memorial Day! Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said: "For the new week, we’ll have to see how much momentum the bounce on Friday has to carry through.  SPX 1110, 1120, and its 10-day MA should provide resistances.  The daily MAs of SPX and Nasdaq are well into their new [...]

April 25, 2010 – 6:52 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said: "For the new week, things get a bit tricky.  While earnings are still expected to be strong, the anxiety over possible financial reforms can cast a shadow on the market, especially over the financial sector…  I think we’ll see some follow-through weakness on Monday.  In general, I’d [...]

March 16, 2010 – 5:23 pm

In my Market Forecast (click here) this weekend, I said, "Many tech and financial leaders could use a breather.  On Tuesday, we have the FOMC meeting.  The market may act undecidedly ahead of the meeting.  If the market slips ahead of Fed’s rate decisions but manages to keep close to SPX 1150, we could get another bump [...]
