Does this one chart line spell doom for the markets?

Make no mistake about it, last week was a very important week for the stock market. Looking on the weekly equity charts, you will see one of the most powerful Japanese candlestick lines. This one line on the chart indicates that there could be some major problems ahead for the stock market.

In my new video I explain what this line is and how it can play out in the short and longer-term time frames.

Do you know about market divergences?

In the market there are two types of market divergences that can occur: a bullish divergence and a bearish divergence. Both of these divergences are important and you need to know how they work and how you can benefit from this knowledge.

In this short educational trading video, I will show you the tools I use to spot market divergences. We will be using the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) which was developed by a friend and mine, Gerald Appel.

A quick update on the state of the S&P 500

The sharp rally we saw on Friday followed through on Monday, but appears to have run out of steam. In this new short video, I show you what you should be looking at in this market and how I think it should be played.

The video is short, less than two minutes, but you'll get a lot of good information that will help you trade these choppy, choppy markets.

I'm also interested in your views on the S&P 500, so just leave us a comment  and tell us what you think.

It's Friday... Are you in or out?

It's Friday* and a day when many traders are considering how to deal with their positions over the weekend. How comfortable or uncomfortable are you going home with a position? There are some strategies hinged on this notion, one of which we discussed in a very popular earlier video which you can click here to watch.

During the week you continually have rumors, reports, and market action as well as a host of other things that affect the market. I consider the close on Friday to be the most important close of the week. It provides invaluable insight into what is going on in the markets as well as an easy way to analyze the market.

This is what I do, I write down the previous Friday's close in the markets that I am interested in. For illustration purposes today I'm just going to include five markets. They are: S&P 500, Dow, NASDAQ, gold and crude oil.

Last week the closing numbers on Friday, June 4th were as follows: Continue reading "It's Friday... Are you in or out?"

The battle between the Bulls and Bears

The battle between the Bulls and Bears continues with very choppy trading action. The rally from a potential double bottom is cause for concern for the Bears, however the Bulls are in a similar situation as they have to prove their case with sustained market action.

In my new video, I outline some of the key levels that I think are important in the S&P 500 market. Volume continues to to be light and that is why the markets are moving around and are so volatile at the moment.

This is my first video since returning from holiday in France, but expect many more as the market rotates.
