Chris Vermeulen: As mentioned last Friday just before things took a dive on the weekend, a look at the major market indices did not look promising. If we take an even longer term look and examine the monthly charts we can see that the S&P 500 Index Read more…
Corey Rosenbloom: As we update the current picture of the S&P 500 Index, we find that not much has changed from last week’s mid-week update, at least in terms of the “Bear Flag” Trendline Boundaries. Read more…
Ed Carlson: Certain sectors of the market are known as being market leaders; financials, technology, small caps, etc. Technicians have long-known that without participation by those “market leaders”, rallies in the broader averages won’t be able to sustain themselves. Read more…
