10/13 - Market Analysis

News - Discontinued indefinitely as Swami tells it best...better than i ever could...i step down as you are the lone news reporter now...

SPX
- huge rally, light volume
- resistance


NDX
- same as SPX


IWM
- same as SPX and NDX


XLF
- little different as it has little more room to move before strong resistance...
- laggard



RKH
- big laggard
- in strong resistance area


Analysis: Huge move...maybe too strong like what swami notes...from a purely technical perspective, today is a bottom...near term one to be safe and longterm one to be very brave...i prefer to be safer...anyway, i do expect this entire pullback leg to reach near the 61% retracement level on the major indexes...so basically i am bullish...tomorrow will see a rush of volume come back in as banks resume work but as on a very very short timeframe are overextended and on a daily chart we are at good resistance in a bear market, i really think that we will have a consolidation day at best and a 300 pt pullback at worst and a 100-200 pt pullback is what i am expecting...but followed by a continuing of the rally until atleast the end of the week...Swami is buying puts but i remain only with calls...i see a couple of opportunities to short but as i feel i need 1 more day to sort out the weakest from the mediocre stocks...
