Very glad to see you back on the board wallstreet.
Back on to the analysis!
the 3533 support line has been trashed.. But Im expecting it to become a resistance line and be tested at least once this eveneing. Overall I think the market will end just above 3500 or so.
Im thinking of doing a long term long trade at this point, hoping to capitalize on the elliot wave theory upswing to 3800 before another sustained drop.. Ive not only seen this said by the link you gave wallstreet (thanks for the link) but by nadeem walayat over at market oracle as well.. (go to Dow Jones Stock Market Index Forecast 2009 - Update1 at Walayat Street - Nadeem Walayat's Financial Markets Trading and Analysis Site )
Hi Wallstreet are you long FTSE at the mo? I'm long from 3510 on the failed retest....
FTSE short covered for a couple of points. Everything is putting in higher highs and higher lows. This is mad. You can make a case for a good short squeeze and also for a collapse.
Just call me confused
I think that we got the retest of the 3533 resistance line at about 18:15, and now its headed back down.
Good advice by wall street which I will be taking. Unsure at the moment which direction the market will head. It could either begin a climb that goes on tommorow or another major sell off to new lows...
Wallstreet Im interested to know why you use the S&P as an indicator.. do you see the S&P as leading most of the other indices..?
yes my friend I shall clarify...keep firing those questions?
I'm working till 8pm and work is very quiet tonight....hoping i can finish at 7.30pm,waiting for manager to authorise and i'll be running for the exit(out of my bedroom as i work from home)!!haha......
OK......you have
The S&P 500 is a value weighted index published since 1957 of the prices of 500 large cap common stocks actively traded in the United States.
Dow Jones: The average is computed from the stock prices of 30 of the largest and most widely held public companies in the United States.
now which one would you use to gauge the US market?
avg of 500 stocks across a broad spectrum of industries or top 30 based on market cap!!
hence the S&P my friend............it is a better indicator that is more stable to trade as opposed to Dow Jones that is so volatile!!
Thanks for the answer. Im using igindex to spreadbet at the moment and the ftse100 seems more attractive to me (spread wise and minimum price per point) than the S&P market. Do you think that the S&P is a good indicator to predict movement in the ftse100..? I noticed you did this last night as well when you predicted the fall of the ftse from around 3700 using the S&P. Probably my last question for the night. Gotta go do my training for the day. Hope you get off work early friend.
