tsptalk's Market Talk

One expert opinion was that after all the fund redemptions to pay taxes, the market will go up dramatically. He said to look for a boom after April 15. I sent him an email asking him to resolve his differences with Marc Faber.

The Dow futures are down 50+ points Sunday evening which, if you are looking for a bottom, is probably better than a 50 point increase. If we're going get any kind of a capitulation low, it's best to get a high volume, emotional sell off in early trading that eventually gets bought. A positive open would almost certainly be sold quickly. A little more short-term pain may be needed before there's a trade-able low.

Well, here we are a half-hour before the open, and the Dow futures are up 60+. So what do you think? Sell the rally? LOL.
 
No real attempt to push the indices down this morning. Could be the pre-holiday reversal. Plus it's options expiration week. Could be positive, but could also be a trap for next week.
 
The small caps and Nasdaq are testing their 200-day EMA.

The S&P still has a long way to go, and it was actually above the 50-day EMA briefly this morning.

Interesting market.
 
The 10 year treasury yield is back below its 200-day EMA and looking like it wants to break down. What's going on here? Is the economy that weak?

The 30-year broke a while back and the 50-day EMA is about to go below the 200-day EMA. That = bear market for 30-year yield, bull market for 30-year bond? Again I ask, what's going on?

Interesting market.

Interesting is an understatement. Seems to be an unrelenting down trending day.

Biotech hedge money has been seeking shelter in long bonds, thus driving down the interest rate - it's only temporary unless we are truly headed for symptomatic deflation. The Kress cycle could be at work behind the scenes applying downward pressure against the Fed QE.
 
Strong seasonality today (day -1 before Good Friday) but IBM seems to be putting the pressure on. It is responsible for about -50 Dow points right now so the Dow would be up about 15-points right now (Thursday morning) without IBM's loss.

Monday's seasonality is weak (day +1 after Easter weekend) but the following three days are positive again.

Nice little reversal day going on, but we've seen this movie before where the sellers show up in the last half hour to an hour and take the indices back to their lows of the day. We're nowhere near the highs either so it's not yet a positive reversal day. Could be a critical final hour of treading.

Might be only temporary reversal.... Algos and Hedgies trying to suck in buyers before they sell off to the close ??
Just old cynical me... The last hour will tell.
 
It could also be traders knowing there have been something like 7 positive Tuesdays in a row. The Fed's on deck the next two days and we know they can say something that could hurt the shorts, and it could have been some covering.

I wish the Nasdaq and small caps would get out of their rut.
