ValueLine Arithmetic Square of 90
November 26th, 2009 1 Comment
The ValueLine Arithmetic (VLE) Square of 90 using trading days shows price 180 TD beyond the March low. Interesting that the left shoulder of the head-and-shoulders formation occurred 45 days into the second 90 day cycle, the head at the 3/4 time line, and the shoulder finished at the 180 day mark. A new high [...]

The ValueLine Arithmetic (VLE) swing chart shows a lower low and an attempt to make a new high. I do not have a lot of confidence in the markets ability to take the VLE to a new high – but it is still possible. The 10 year US treasury bond continues down. The recent bounce [...]

The SP500 index hit the 50/50 point and is in equilibrium – no advantage to either side. Dynamic Chart Market is back to the oversold level of the last selloff. It is options expiration week so weird things can happen in the short term. Charts courtesy of Stockcharts.com

The Fidelity Housing Index has bounced above the 50% retrace of the 2000-2007 level but has resistance at the 2×1 angle. Price cannot be considered bullish while below the 1×1 descending diagonal.

I see everyone is excited about this great move back to “new highs” and ready to jump back in with both feet. Well, not everyone. Not you, of course. But everyone else. I put the recent market move into perspective.

The Nasdaq Summation Index turned down at the beginning of October and the 10 day moving average remains below the 50dma. If fact, with price significantly above the May level, the NASI has not risen.

Positive Reaction To Earnings To New High?
October 14th, 2009 5 Comments
The market appears to like the Intel Corporation (INTC) news and should be strong at the open. Due to the length of the current market thrust without a pause, I am guessing this move with be a blow off top. The 1×2 angle of the long term range is a place to watch for a high.

October 13th, 2009 No Comments
The price of Natural Gas Continuous Contract NYMEX has moved up to the 25% price line and is nearing the 1×8 angle which should be resistance. After the fast move by price, I expect a pullback caused by the angles above.

Gold Breaks Out Toward 1200
October 12th, 2009 No Comments
The price of Gold made a new all time high last week. A quick guess would put near 1200 as a level to watch if price returns to the 1×1 angle of the 1999-2008 range. A look at the retrace during 2008 shows price would move about 50% of the correction higher to near 1200.
