Lower for the cash and dow futures along with the S&P's and nasdaq again following through from Wednesday's key reversals still mainly due to the fallout from  talk of of China's and Japan's economies running into 'bumps in the road'. We will have to see how this affects our markets along with the rest of the world long term. The Memorial day weekend might temper this news also or not!  The bears have been looking for reasons to short the indices and there certainly has been enough bearish news lingering around!  Obviously, the higher the indices have gone the more nervous everyone gets and with good reason, but it's still a bull market. Small traders are long now which is rarely a good sign and open interest remains high which is a bullish sign. The nasdaq's nearest support is around 285000, then 283000 all the way down to the 270000 area. The S&P's closest support is around 145000 while the dow's nearest support starts around 14500. Warning economic signs throughout the world including the United States hasn't seemed to upset the market so far. Also, don't forgetkey reversals can be unreliable but never should be ignored. BUY SIGNALS FOR THE DOW, S&P'S AND NASDAQ. CALL FOR DETAILS!  For additional charts, quotes, news, commentary & more sign-up for a FREE 30-day trial to Market head.Com.

INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS. NEW HOME SALES. KEY REVERSALS FOR THE ENTIRE COMPLEX

Posted on 5/23/2013 3:16:20 PM by: Rick Alexander, VP, Trading @ Zaner. 312-277-0107.

Lower for the cash and dow futures along with the S&P's and nasdaq in relatively. All three had KEY REVERSALS due mainly to talk of of China's economy getting worse. We will have to see how this affects our markets along with the rest of the world long term. The Memorial day weekend might temper this news. Many traders continue to remain skeptic while others are starting to jump on the bandwagon. How long our governement can support the stock market is anyone's guess but, sooner or later, we will have to 'pay the piper' or else most of what I've learned a long time ago in ecomomic classes is antiquated. It's kind of like 'borrowing from Peter to pay Paul'. In other words  the world's biggest ponzi scheme!  I know that I sound like a broken record but I've been getting nervous since bullish sentiment has been increasing meaning a top or goodsize retracement could be be just around the corner! Hopefully, my best personally developed trading tool will catch the retracements whenever they happen. The bears have been looking for reasons to short the indices and there certainly has been enough bearish news lingering around!  Obviously, the higher the indices have gone the more nervous everyone gets and with good reason, but it's still a bull market. Small traders are long now which is rarely a good sign and open interest remains high which is a bullish sign. The nasdaq's nearest support is around 285000, then 283000 all the way down to the 270000 area. The S&P's closest support is around 145000 while the dow's nearest support starts around 14500. Warning economic signs throughout the world including the United States hasn't seemed to upset the market so far. Also, don't forgetkey reversals can be unreliable but never should be ignored.
