THE MARKET NOW
I was thinking the last couple of days about the market and the doom scenario's some described, comparing this market with the fall of the late nineties after 1997, talking about inflation risks and FED's chairman Greenspan commenting about the market and inflation.
Off course the usual conspiracy theories always pop up.
Niederhoffer posting about the common errors made by forecasters, quite amusing to read.
Markets started two weeks ago to go down rapidly, an end of a trend , off course I meant the trend of this year which started in November of last year; though the DAX still is in a big uptrend since 2003, see a classical uptrend in the chart below (click to enlarge).
Markets bounced up thursday, there were some clues though given by some. So Stephan Vita who posts this graph of the NYMO McClelan indicator, an indicator more often used by index followers, and asking the retorical question : "Why Does a Bounce Come?" ; it speaks for itself.
The S&P 500 bouncing off the 200 SMA very neatly: safed by the bell a least for the moment.
I am allways very cautious about predictions because who can predict the future? But to be honest I saw wednesday the FDAX nice bottoming out, with a double bottom and a positive divergence in price at C assuring at least a short term recovery.
Also read again Niederhoffer when he is Briefly Speaking about the markets and about romance too :)
