Market Breadth Data******************************

Friday, September 30, 2011

Here's the prototype for the OddsTrader app and the information it conveys:



Trend - down
Resistance: 1180
Support: 1130
Pivot: 1160
Risk/Reward Oscillator: 27%; below 15% = oversold, above 85% = overbought
Volatility: 15%


The Bull Flag case, for those who feel lucky:


Closely following the downtrend line:



Today's action puts the lower support lines firmly in play.

If the end of month/quarter rally attempt can't bring the index back inside the channel, the outlook going forward is bleak:



Swiftly rejected at pivot point:


On track for a 180 degree reversal:

From Doom & Gloom to All is Good:



Or is it? The next few days it will become clear exactly how much gas is left in the tank:



1150 should become support now.

All industry groups finished last week in the middle of their range:


In pre-market action, the retest of the low came in at 1115, and the high at 1150.65:

KISS & Waterfall update:



This chart shows the damage that has been inflicted, and what's needed to repair it:


Pre-market update: the futures tagged the 1100 line:


Thursday, September 22, 2011

Closed right near support, oversold, on increasing volume:



However, 1100 is too close to ignore, and will provide a better stage for a rebound.

So far, so good:


Judging by pre-market action, I must have been in the minority expecting little from the FED.
Keep an eye on 1136, 1120 and 1100 SPX.

The real test is coming the next couple of days:



While waiting, it doesn't hurt to add one more trend-line:



Gold finds itself suddenly in the middle of the range:

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

All eyes on Ben:



Treading water between support/resistance.
Time to update support/resistance lines:


Monday, September 19, 2011

Planted firmly between support/resistance lines:



Waiting for Ben to save the day.
I don't expect anything meaningful, but that doesn't mean the market won't show its irrational and exuberant side.
Back to the old pivot line:



The one silver lining is the fact that a 2-day FED meeting is coming, and that's usually good for a 10-15 SPX points anticipation run, no matter what the outcome.

Weekly sector rotation



Notice the difference with last week ?

Thursday, September 15, 2011

As good as it gets, but we've seen this movie before, and we know how it ends:



Waiting for the next "crisis" that will propel the indices upwards:



Yesterday's resistance becomes support now.
Yesterday's high should provide formidable resistance:


Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

No surprises at the close for SPY:



The index needs to break above the pivot line, however, in order to prove that this is not just an oversold bounce.

Following the pattern nicely, so far:


Monday, September 12, 2011

Action similar to last week:



weakness pre-market, rally after the open.
