February 2, 2010 Stock Market Recap

We rallied on better volume today but I'm still not convinced that this is nothing other than a relief rally. The S&P 500 is within striking distance of its 50-day moving average and the top of its November - December trading range. How it deals with that zone should tell us whether this bounce is for real or just a good shorting opportunity.

Hopefully the bounce is for real, and it stays on top of the zone.

Yah... like you, I'm suspicious... actually, I'm hopeless. Without upside volume, this may be a bounce off an artificial floor.

I noticed the "Slow Stoch" indicator is at a bottom and turning up on the $SPX (S&P 500). Indicators are far from perfect, but they have worked well since March. I am wondering if it will keep working.

The major level I see on the $SPX is 1074 support and there is an upper resistance line that is not as solid as the support.

I think your right-relief rally- you see all the tax talk. Beyond that we basically had a big bounce from very oversold conditions around election. why the run? ONLY reason I see is the bounce.

Mike was right again......week volume on the upside unraveled like a cheap rug.

LOL... I may have to steal that phrase from you Exec
