• Curtain falls on a tumultuous year

  It’s curtains for one of the most tumultuous years in the history of wall street. The year started with a horrific plunge that gave way to the most astounding and most unloved rally in the history of wall street. It was a year when reputations were made and destroyed in the same year. Those who [...]

• So near and yet so far

  The SPX 1120 was breached intraday but the market closed below it. I think it’s only a matter of time before market overcomes the 1120 level. But then I have been saying this for quite some time but I could care less. This market is providing good trading opportunities in individual stocks.
  The next level of [...]

• Do not let the market consume you

  Technical analysis is not a science. It’s an art. If it were a science, someone or the other would have come up with an algorithm to corner the market. Nothing works all the time. I also use moving averages, trend lines, fibs, sector rotation and what not to form an opinion but there is no [...]

• Market still churning

  I thought that the fed would not change their language from the Nov meeting but surprisingly they did. The very thought of an end to low rates regime made the market edgy. The dollar too rallied sharply. I was certain that the fed won’t spook the market but they did by hinting that easy monetary policy [...]

• Only a matter of time

  Market is holding up pretty well. I am not going to speculate when it will breakout but will stick to my view that breakout is only a matter of time. My strategy is simple, any sell off is another opportunity. If we rally then it’s even better. I think the next level of interest will [...]

• Keeping it simple

  Market is taking time to breakout but it will eventually in my opinion. I didn’t expect it to take this long but market works on a time table of its own. The options expiration cycle every month also plays a critical role in that time table. These days Mr Market is only rewarding those who [...]

• Dollar headwinds

  The strength in dollar is providing the latest headwinds for the equity market. There is one or the other thing that’s keeping the market from breaking out. The main reason for the strength in dollar in the past few days has been the improved jobs report last Friday. The thinking is that fed would start [...]

• Market is testing patience

  Market is testing patience of both bulls and bears. The churning action of the past two months may have served its purpose of tiring out both bulls and bears.
  The jobs report last Friday was a big surprise but it seems market had it all figured out always. Usually stock market leads the economy by around [...]

• Market trying to shake longs

  We may see some follow through selling tomorrow but  I am not in the camp that thinks this market is going to rollover from these levels. This market hasn’t come so far not to tag the 50% retracement level around 1122. In my opinion 1122 will be a mile stone on the way to higher [...]
