S&P-500 Chart Analysis &
Forecast 8-1-11 |
Markets are exhibiting price behavior, which is typical at the stage of (un)certainty and or at the level, where big change is impending. Markets, today, gaped up 1%+ and then reversed and gave up all of the gains and lost in the same proportion and then some, in some cases more than 1%. However, just before the end of the day stock market rallied hard to regain most of the losses and ended up a bit lower than yesterday.
That is lot of confusion, Right?
Well, to clear the smog (Californian term for smoke + fog), looking at the longer term chart, such as weekly, shall help us understand what the markets are trying to tell us.

S&P-500 and Dow Jones Industrial are just hovering over or at 200 MA. That also coincides with the 2+ year upward trend-line from the bear market low. Furthermore, markets are evolving into a ascending triangle pattern. Momentum also showing the divergence. What does that mean with certainty? Well, nothing is certain in the Universe, except The Creator Who Created the Universe. However, we look for the highest probability situation and then make an assumption based upon the previous experience and current situation's comparison with what occurred in the past. Please see the charts for the illustration/.
Conclusion: Markets ought to trend higher.
Otherwise, Failure at these levels, shall be
very ominous for the markets.
