Today's WrapUp by Ike Iossif 02.15.2005  Mon   Tue   Wed   Thu   Fri   Archive


DAILY CHARTS / MONDAY - TUESDAY


DJIA: The lack of follow-thru to Friday's robust rally both on Monday and today, Tuesday, ought to be
worrisome for the bulls, because it suggests that a double top may be in the making.


DJTI: It continues to consolidate below resistance. The bears have something to "hang their hat on"
as long as this index doesn't close above resistance. In fact, this index may be giving the bulls an
advanced warning, if they care to see it.


SP500: The lack of follow-thru to Friday's robust rally, both on Monday and today, Tuesday, ought to be worrisome for the bulls, because it suggests that a double top may be in the making.


NASDAQ: It has spent almost two months below resistance. This index needs to get above 2115
and stay above it if the bull run is going to continue higher.


HUI: It met its upside target of 210, so a pullback can be expected.


US Dollar: It pulled back from resistance, and it is now testing channel support.


Utilities: It broke above resistance suggesting an upside target of 360.


Spot Oil: Resistance at $50.00, and support at $45.00. If it closes above $50.00,
the next upside target is $52.50. If it closes below $45.00, the next downside target is $42.50.


The BSE has been declining while price has been advancing, which means so far the gains have
been fueled by short covering. If the rally is to last, real buying has to take place.

The T.O. has yet to experience a positive cross-over, which makes the current move suspect.

The 10/20 day TIs indicate that the trend is NEUTRAL for the NASDAQ
(we need 2 consecutive days of downside action by both TIs to confirm a change in trend).

Notice that the Quantifiers turned down today, which means either we'll get another test of the zero line,
or the rally will fizzle out within the next 1-3 trading days

SUMMARY

(2-15-05) Both yesterday, and today we got no follow-thru to Friday's robust rally, which is not a good thing! However, sometimes the markets do "pause" for a day, or, two, before they power up higher, so maybe the bulls will show what they've  got over the next three days. However, make no mistake, unless the indices overcome resistance and begin to accelerate to the upside, the rally will come to an end, by week's end, if not sooner.
