Commentary: Paul Ebeling on Wall Street, Bulls Vs Bears, Support & Resistance

$DIA, $SPY, $QQQ, $VXX

The bulk of earnings are finished, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is the only DJIA component that reports this week.

It is May, and the time when may Wall Street traders are getting ready to head for vacations, lot of managed money is already sidelined, its in the T’s not B’s.

Many participants may still be of the mind to believe the US Fed still stands behind the market and will overcome weak economic data to keep financial assets propped up.

The major US stock indices are off the prior highs, and look to be trying to set up another Northside move.

The NAS Comp big names are showing short double bottoms, indicating some managed money moving their direction. Perhaps it is just a short bottom attempt that runs out of money, but the patterns are there.

The Disney pattern looks good on the results of its latest tentpole film, some materials, some energy also look Ok to good, have to wait and see what happens as this market is in a major topping high pattern.

Of course play a bounce, and if the indices keep moving higher then play them too.

Last week the DJIA finished at 17740.63, +0.45%, and overcame the Wall Street selling pressure to close in the Green, signaling a probable rise to 18000 in coming sessions.

As I write this report at 3:45a EST, the DJIA June mini’s are trading +21.00 at 17,692.

Remember, always take what the market gives, and the name of the Wall Street game is to make money.

    to fade. 18 of the last 32 above 1.0. More than enough 1.0+ readings to support a move back up.
