Where is the Dow & others heading in 2005?

Markets looking very strong indeed good call on the 10700 level. Looks quite lively.
Any views on resistance on the S&P?

Stops are imho suited to pre-fixed entry levels e.g.
today's levels are given on another thread as :-
buy at 10637 target 10686
sell at 10594 target 10571

Pat, do you have a link for that thread please ?

Looks like a good call - will it reach 10688 ?

Sure thing - the thread is called Daily signals on indices
It quotes the S&P as :-
buy 1234.5 target 1239.68
sell 1230 target 1226.09

Wot another pump !!
The dump may well be about 10680 inmho

Certainly was! See how far they could squeeze...

That H&S right shoulder now in place, a bit higher than I thought, but they were squeezing pretty tight.
Will it continue to fall now or not that is the question!

DAX/FTSE/CAC haven't been that impressed with the US rally

OK Pat - does that mean just keep buying it until the Dow gets to 11k?
Not unless you are looking way off into the future ( years ) ?
I am probably wrong but I'm not even sure it's going to reach 10680 today
 
Nymex crude hits new record of $65.45/bbl as gasoline futures continue to soar on reports of new refinery problems. Among the latest refinery outages: ConocoPhillips' Wood River, Ill. refinery units were affected by a power outage late Wed, while BP is reported planning to shut units at its troubled Texas City refinery. Several units already down at the plant; not clear what units will be brought down for inspection. Sep crude up 55c at $65.45, facing resistance at $66.
 
Seems to of squeezed equity prices this oil hike. One second high oil prices are good for equities the next its bad. Anyone got any views on Oil rising - this seems to be weakening the dollar?
 
Big move off bounce or break keys 10618 and 1232 on S&P?

Yes seems so

Speaking to a couple of specialist Oil traders and they cannot see any reason for oil being up here!
2 months ago oil prices were going to rise because of the summer driving season, oil prices are now rising because of supply worries. And they are likely to comment on the Impending Winter supply problems. What is next - $70/80???
 
Could have a potential target of 10540 here, but I think a little ahem manipulation could affect that target :eek:
 
Dow has been in this wide 10500 - 10750 range now for 4 weeks. It has so far defied the oil price hike and serial interest rate rises which will continue over the next few months.

Inflation remains under estimated due to the way that the figures are fudged.
Trade deficit for June will almost certainly have increased over the May figure of $55bn due to higher oil prices.
Retail sales are slowing.
The decoupling of the Yuan against the dollar, in favour of a mixed basket of currencies peg, will probably diminsh the Chinese appetite for Treasury bonds which in turn could provide further inflationary pressures.
Dollar is declining against both the Yen and the Euro

This is an irrational market that is overdue a correction on the short side.
Probably needs a catalyst to trigger a break below 10500.

Question is what will that be and when will it happen :!:
 
We have already scene the Feds stance on Yields - the markets have really brushed aside this factor.
Stocks seem to be the hot topic again, however KRIESAU is correct the US has been stuck in a funk.
I coudl probably see Brent Crude getting to $68.00 and bottling the $70 mark, which means a squeze back to $62.50. Cable looks slightly over done against the dollar above $1.800, and a pullback to $1.7750 could be on the cards. Keep stops tight and trade what you see guys!
 
I guess that last dip took out a few stops ?? and now it appears to be heading for a gentle rise.
 
re crude: my worry is that the indices are absorbing higher crude, and as crude over extends itself there will be an inevitable shakeout. The market will react to this my rallying to new highs when crude heads towards $60. But in the defence, when we sell off in the states you can often go so quickly. you can be meandering along and then you break a level and all hell gets loose, i.e a couple of months ago when we crapped off 200 points quick time. 10535 anyone!?
 
A big triangle formed with break lines of 10610 down and 10640up at the moment (or could be 10630 depending where you draw the lines)
