The
Weekly Report for June 11th - June 15th, 2007
1) MARKET SUMMARY
2) INDEX CHARTS (DJIA, S&P, NASDAQ and RUSSELL)
Market Summary
In our previous report, we talked about how it was a
good time for investors to be cautious of a pullback.
We noted that the Relative
Strength Index has been trading in the opposite
direction of the price, which is a common signal of
weakness within a trend. As you can see from the charts
below, the bears took control of the momentum last week
and, as a result, they sent the major indexes down toward
the support of their respective 50-day moving
average. It is not uncommon to see a sharp correction
of approximately 2-5% after an extensive rally because
there is not enough demand to offset the amount of selling
pressure created from those looking to lock in a profit.
The
chart of the S&P continues to be of particular interest
because it bounced off the resistance near the 1550
level. It is important to note that the long-term trend
seen on all the major indexes remains in the upward
direction and many traders will continue to be very
interested in whether the nearby 50-day moving average
will provide enough support to prevent the uptrend from
reversing.
