It was a again a strange day for trading, Dow was down 184 point, then it rallied back 160 point, followed by another sell off and down 97 point. S&P500 on the other hand, was down 21 point, it recovered 21 point loss, then it sold off and down 9 point. Market was expected to be bullish today but future market changed everything.
This market is behaving in the same manner as it rallied between December - April when Future use to open higher then stock market use to rally upside. Since last week this trend is changed, Future market opens low and then it continued sell off in market hours. This stock market is selling off silently and smartly and if you have noticed in last 5 days, Dow is down almost 433 point and S&P500 is down 48 point. This is the reason I say its not safe to keep anything invested overnight.
Based on the chart, tomorrow Dow and S&P500 is expected to open lower as its back into bearish zone at today's close but it also depends where future closes and then what Mr. free money printing manager Ben Bernanke says at 9.30 am EST. At tomorrow close market will be in positive.
The first level to check on Tomorrow in Dow for upside is 12908 followed by 12965 which is important break point for the upside. While for the downside, Dow needs to break 12748 followed by 13701.
The first level to check on tomorrow in S&P500 for upside is 1364 followed by 1368 which is important break point for the upside. While for the downside, S&P500 needs to break 1348 followed by 1342.

| Dow entered in bullish zone yesterday afternoon as indicated by blue circle representing bullish sign. But the leg down from Futures, reversed the direction and what could be a bullish day changed to bearish day. But dow recovered all of it loses by afternoon before changing its direction again. Dow is again in bearish zone at today close so tomorrow market is expected to open lower or atleast end up flat but it all depends on futures and Ben Bernanke what he says. At tomorrow close market will be in positive. |
