August 25, 2008 Stock Market Recap

| No Comments

We had some impressive selling today for such a light volume day. Practically all of the major indices were down 2% on the day and decliners swamped advancers by more than 3-to-1. So in just one session the market has erased most of last week's bounce off of support.



It'll be a bad post-vacation surprise for the bulls if the small caps break their 200-day moving average. For a while it seemed like the small caps would pull the rest of the market up but that theory's not looking so good right now...

*** I'm simply using the indices' relations to their 200, 50 and 10-day moving averages to tell me the long, intermediate and short-term trends, respectively.
