Day Trading Course, Week in review

US markets were the driving force behind the
capital markets during the past week
as headlines over European
sovereign debt took a back seat to solid economic data. Solid employment data, along with better than expected housing numbers, helped buoy riskier assets, allowing commodities and equities to bounce from the prior week’s slump.

The US economy continued to show upbeat data
points during this holiday week
, anchored by Initial Jobless Claims.
Jobless claims declined by 4,000 to 364,000 in the week ended Dec. 17, according to the Labor Department. Economists surveyed had forecast claims would rise by 14,000 to 380,000. The decline in claims market the third straight drop in benefit claims, which shows that the recent decline is gaining traction. The four-week average has remained below 400,000 for six consecutive week.

The housing market also received positive news
during the week.
Housing Starts last month increased 9.3% to an annual
rate of 685,000 from October. The results were better than forecast. Economists
had expected housing starts would rise by 0.3% to an annual rate of 630,000. The
increase in November was driven by a 25.3% increase in multi-family homes which
are a target of rental investors. Construction of single-family homes, which
made up about 65% percent of the market, rose only 2.3%.

The Commerce data showed that building
permits, which is a reflection of future starts, rose 5.7%
from a month
earlier to an annual rate of 681,000, the highest since March 2010. Permits in
November had been projected to fall 1.7% to an annual rate of 633,000. The
combination of better than expected housing data, along with improving
employment data, has created positive sentiment in the US investor
community.

In the commodity sector, crude oil prices
bounced after declining below $95 dollars a barrel after better than expected inventory data helping
bulls gain some traction.

U.S. commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 10.6 million barrels from the previous week, a much larger draw than expected. Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 0.4 million barrels last week and distillate fuel inventories decreased by 2.4 million barrels. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by 18.2 million barrels last week. The large draws in inventory came despite a decline in demand of more than 5% year over year.

 

 
Crude oil prices rebounded
smartly off of the 200-day moving average hit during the beginning of the week.
Prices soared more than 6% pushing through the 50-day moving average near 98.00.
Oil is poised to test resistance near 102.00. Support is now seen at the 50-day
moving average.

Euro
Consolidates During the Holiday Season

The Euro remained stagnant for the majority
of the week as volume began to dry up before the yearend holidays. The 20-day
moving average near 1.32 is likely to remain strong resistance into the new
year. A break would likely see a test of 1.30. Support is seen near 1.2950.

Day Trading Course, How do you ride a rollorcoaster?

Anyone trading in the market these days will have noticed one thing if nothing else.  The markets this last little have been pretty much like that of a roller coaster amusement ride.  For some people (Day Traders in particular) a lot of fun with large intra-day swings that can turn HUGE profits in short periods should you be on the right side, while others are scared to death (the average investor) fearing that any day now with these crazy moves they will watch yet another chunk of their portfolio disappear into the abyss.  The question is…  “Which are you?”    Are you getting the results that you want?  or are you running scared as every time it seems as though it could pick up and move in your favour, you seem to get get an unexpected turn against you?  If you are the second there is good news.  You can do something about it, and that is what I encourage you to do. Instead of watching from the sidelines or even worse watching your money disappear into the previously mentioned abyss.

That being said, let’s take a look at a chart of the S&P 500 to get an idea of what “could” happen over the next few days and possibly weeks.  Looking ar the daily chart we can see that since hitting the 1370 high in the last couple days of July, and the beginning of August when we hit the first low in the 1080.00 area we have been riding the previously roller coaster.  These ranges have traded sideways into a tightening range for 5 months now, forming a painfully large and long running pennant formation.  As we continue to see lower highs followed by higher lows our range continues to tighten as we wait for the unavoidable choice in direction to follow.

What direction you ask?  That is for an upcoming post, right now we will focus on getting you through the next few days and possibly weeks.  On the chart we can see that as of today’s close we are touching into a very important area of support.  That area is pretty much the point of control for this range we have been trading the last few months, the 1200-1210 area.  Should the support hold here, we will watch for the move back to 1220, and then 1250.  Should this 1200 area not provide the support needed to hold this market up, the next stop will be the 1185.00 area.  This will test again to find out if this 5 month trend will continue to hold or break out into direction. Should support hold, this pennant could continue to trade into the new year as things continue to drag on.  This could take anywhere from the next couple days until the end of next week to play out, then based on the move we get there we can then look at targeting the next.  Until then, Trade what you see.  I’ll see you at the starting line!
