SPY in Midlife

Mish Schneider | December 15, 2011

Market going through a midlife something-I do not want to write the "C" word. Although, I am compelled to say SPY back in a Bear Phase.

SPY: 121.00 is the top of the candle from 11/29 before the gap higher …


SPY: Stuck in the Middle With You

Mish Schneider | December 14, 2011

Seeing a lot of oversold indications on the 2-Day RSIs as NASDAQ (QQQ) and Midcaps (IWM) as both indices fill gaps to negate an island bottom whilst S & P 500 (SPY) did not. Volume was lighter than yesterday's. The …


FOMC and Market Disappointment

FOMC and Market Disappointment

Today reminds me of an anxious child (the market) anticipating some great big surprise (From the FED) and when it doesn't happen (No Policy Change), throwing a bit of a tantrum (The Selloff). But, does that …


Stock Market: How to Use the 50 DMA

Mish Schneider | December 12, 2011

Looking at the S & P 500 (SPY) chart, the important number to hold is the upwardly sloping 50 DMA. That would keep the island bottom and phase intact. Furthermore, the monthly moving average comes in right there as well.…


AAPL: Narrowest Range in 4 Months

Mish Schneider | December 11, 2011

"Sarkozy smiling as he leaves the EU meeting." Twitter entry last Friday. He must have known that NASDQ would end the week with a Golden Cross and its 4th Accumulation Day in volume. Now, everything is lined up-the moving averages, …


NASDQ Golden Cross

Mish Schneider | December 8, 2011

And just like that, no more overbought conditions in the indexes! While the EU dance around with one another, let's look at my favorite indicators:

SPY: Bye bye 200 DMA for now. Hello the Exponential Moving Average. No change of …


Stocks The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Mish Schneider | December 7, 2011

4 Accumulation Days in volume and a close above the illustrious 200 DMA in S & P 500. Officially overbought on the 2-Day RSI but not on the weekly or monthly. Midcaps (IWM) on the other hand, had a distribution …


AAPL Back Under Key Moving Average

Mish Schneider | December 6, 2011

Inside day in S & P 500, NASDQ and almost Russells (took out prior day low by a few ticks). Placement of the inside day especially in SPY most fascinating-tickling the 200 Daily Moving Average. Did not do enough correcting …


S&P 500-What a Flirt!

Mish Schneider | December 5, 2011

But wait... bank intervention followed by a review for a downgrade in Europe? New intraday highs followed by new intraday lows. Feeling your strings pulled? S & P 500 dropped her handkerchief in front of the 200 DMA; then when …


S&P 500 Crapshoot

Mish Schneider | December 4, 2011

What truly amazes me is where the S & P 500 (SPY) ended. After the 10th biggest winning week since 1950, you'd think there would be some clarity. But NO! S &P had to close with a crap shoot chart. …
