Some fortune telling for Tuesday + Agenda.
Trends: Prices are trending downwards. TA still shows vulnerability. Candlesticks: A rising window occurred (where the top of the previous shadow is below the bottom of the current shadow). This usually implies a continuation of a bullish trend. We have volume well above MA. %RSI -48.95 in neutral area, and money flow still negative at 37.41.
Tushar Chande Chart Analysis: has a trading range of upper bound 133, lower bound 82, Close 108. The overall bias is downwards.
Cynthia Kase screen is in "permission short mode" for 34 days.
Resistance/support: Resistance's (for Tuesday): fibo $112, $118, $127 and $151. Many levels at which people would like to cut losses. Supports: Fibo at $99, $97, $86, $80, $64, $46 We have a gap, $94.25-$97.625 We have left the lower Bollinger trending towards the upper band at about $132. Prices at about 20MA. There is a downward trendline from Apr 4 close at $151 to $111 for Tuesday. 50MA is at about $114.
My best guesses: There has been a little bit of surprise (announcements), the start of the Summer iNets rally is very probable. We are back above the $97-99 fibo level, and if this holds Tuesday, we will be well positioned for the rally. Pre-earnings at the $127 fibo, hopefully above upper Bollingerband at $132. I would have liked AOL to be positive today to confirm a start of the rally, but other blue iNets did well (AMZN, ATHM, YHOO) did well too.
All major indexes up today. Having made a rounding top, Dow has rebounded on the 4Yr support/resistance line, Naz above the 20MA, still in a trading channel 2325-2635. Watching closely the spread between 50MA (10 589) and 200MA (9299) at 12.18 % after close. A spread of 10% is usually a signal of a major market top. Let's say that the spread is overextended and that we are in uncharted territory. If we factor-in a non-inflation scenario we could extend the danger zone at 14-15%. Do not forget that we are talking of a 7% return on stocks, with a T30 bond yielding 5.97 % (most managers have their alert set at 6%). But the sentiment seems to have already factored two .25 hikes. Prices will shoot up if the Fed decides not to move on the 30th. Till then, we could have a sideways scenario as in Jan-Feb. This would be very bullish. Or simply following last year's scenario whit the suckers rally topping about mid-July. This week will tell.
