Commentary: Paul Ebeling on Wall Street, BvB’s, Support & Resistance
$DIA, $SPY, $QQQ, $VXX
At the end of last week Wall Street stocks bounced off of the low range support mark showing us some Northside in the midst of pessimism and talk of an imminent selloff.
I agree with the overall assessment but as we all know it a matter of when the roll over happens.
As is typical, when so many become so negative, the market tries to bounce. There are some good sectors and good patterns in sectors
that are still receiving money. The chips have come back around plus drugs and healthcare continue to set up. If new sectors get new money, the more the overall market can hold onto some gains.
With the DJIA at 17500.94, +0.38%, it could hold above support near 17350 for sometime before falling back to 17250 and lower. It may spend some time in the 17300-17750 range mid-term.
At the weekend looked at Northside plays because some sectors and individual stocks are getting money and good patterns are developing.
After this Northside bounce runs out of steam, then looking at the Southside action, as they will be set to resume their moves then. Until then we are going to look at some chips, energy, drugs and watch for what develops later this week.
Not sure how long the Northside will last in here, but as the sectors getting money show, even with the market struggling, they have worked out well.
The old Wall Street adage “Sell in May and go away” may have to wait a bit before the market is ready, but we still have a few May days to go.
Remember, the name of this Wall Street game is to make money.
The Bulls Vs The Bears
Sentiment Indicators
VIX: 15.2; -1.13
VXN: 16.4; -1.48
VXO: 15.26; -1.09
Put/Call Ratio (PCR) CBOE: 1.04; -0.33
High ratio readings can cause stocks to bounce, perhaps they are going to make a bounce after this last pullback.
The Bulls and The Bears moved back to where they were 3 weeks ago with The Bulls rising slightly and The Bears rising slightly. Not so high on the Bears to suggest a selloff, still pretty low on The Bulls.
The Bulls are at 40.2 Vs 39.2 last
The Bears are at 21.7 Vs 21.6 last
