Bearish Candlestick Pattern in Russell 2000 Index Foretells Decline in Prices

Bearish Candlestick Pattern in Russell 2000 Index Foretells Decline in Prices We have been waiting a long time for a top in the Great Rally of 2009, which represents neither a “recovery” nor a resumption of the old bull market.  Rather, it has been an upside correction of the bear market which began in October [...]

Candlestick “Doji” Reversal Pattern Makes Us Stop and Think

Candlestick “Doji” Reversal Pattern Makes Us Stop and Think The Dow Industrials and the other major Indexes were up slightly today, including the NASDAQ Composite.  The Industrials appear to be faltering.  The Candlestick pattern in the NASDAQ causes us to stop and consider its implications.

Evening Star Pattern in the DAX Prefigures Drop in the Dow

October 16, 2009 – Traders on the USA Exchanges pushed, shoved, grunted, and shoved some more, but it didn’t work. They wanted in the worst way to make the Dow Industrials close above 10000, all to no avail, as the Dow closed at just below 9996 today.

So we’re still beneath that psychological barrier. It’s [...]

The Circular Tug-of-War Principle of Stock and Index Pricing

How is the price of a stock or of an Index arrived at?

Imagine a tug-of-war. Not your ordinary run-of-the-mill tug-of-war, but a supersized one. We’ll start with two ropes, not just one. Tie the ends of the ropes together, resulting, of course, in a knot. Set the ropes on the ground. Now take two [...]

This Mini-Recovery in the Dow Industrials is Struggling

We are operating on the assumption that the High of 9917.30 in the Dow Industrials on September 23 probably marked the top end of the Great Rally of 2009, and therefore was the top end of Primary Wave 2 Up and marked the start of Primary Wave 3 Down and a continuation of Cycle Wave [...]

This Tall Black Candlestick is No Pullback

The Dow Industrials Index fell 203 points on October 1, 2009, to close at 9509.30, which (at the moment) is about 410 points above an important trendline drawn from the low of March 6, 2009 through the low of July 10, 2009. When and if that trendline is broken to the downside, we will take [...]

Whistling Past the Graveyard

Whistling Past the Graveyard Mr. Bernanke and his confreres in the Central Bank business have convinced themselves that they have saved the financial systems of the world from collapse.  They have done no such thing.  First of all, they spoke much too soon; secondly, they’re mistaken. For all of their wisdom and for all of [...]
