Evening Watch for Feb. 24th 2012

Mish Schneider | February 23, 2012

When Biotechnology (IBB) corrected, Commodities (GLD USO) took the lead. With Commodities still in favor (although ultimately begging for an interest rate hike which could take the kibosh out of this run) Biotechs led the charge again. Other sectors followed …

Mish Schneider | February 21, 2012

Other than a lot of divergence with commodities leading and Biotechnology, Real Estate andTransportation lagging, the overall indexes were rather unremarkable.

S&P 500 (SPY) Closed right around the May 2011 high. Volume on par with Friday. Not too much new-no …


Evening Watch for Feb. 21st 2012

Mish Schneider | February 20, 2012

Leading the market analysis with AAPL once again. The giant neither confirmed a possible reversal from last week's blow off run nor negated it, closing right in the middle of uncertainty.
NASDAQ (QQQ) closed with an inside day-indecisive. S&P 500 …


Evening Watch for Feb. 17th 2012

Mish Schneider | February 17, 2012

AAPL held the fast moving average, but still has the reversal candle looming and will confirm the reversal if it gaps and closes lower than today's low. Conversely, it will negate it if closes above the body of Wednesday's candle …

An old friend who owned AAPL stock since $100 called me and said I am getting out today once it traded $525 with a sell stop at $517. He is not a professional trader and has ignored many "TV" analysts …

Roses Have Thorns

S&P 500 (SPY) The 10 DMA still a good place to now hold.

Russell 2000 (IWM) Through 82.10 back in the game. 81.00 big support to hold.

NASDQ (QQQ) Another strong closing price (new high in a …


Evening Watch for Feb. 14th 2012

Mish Schneider | February 13, 2012

Nearly gained back the loss from Friday in S&P 500, but until it takes out the July high 135.70, with today's DOJI (opening and closing price virtually the same), still more of a hesitation at these levels, especially since the …

Mish Schneider | February 12, 2012

Even with Friday's selloff, we just touched the surface of working off overbought market internals leaving the big question of whether with the trend very much intact, and the 2 key indexes S&P 500 (SPY) and NASDAQ (QQQ) holding key …


Evening Watch for Feb. 10th 2012

Mish Schneider | February 9, 2012

S&P 500 (SPY) could not clear the July high 135.70 although giving it big high fives for valiant effort. Earlier this week we explored what a top looks like. One indication is an orderly price testing at resistance. Perhaps July …

Mish Schneider | February 7, 2012

Best statistic I read is that Bloomberg reported Hedge Funds were up .2% at the end of January, while theS&P 500 (SPY) was up 4.4%. The low volume certainly speaks to that. As the island top from July inSPY is …
