Market Update: We Have Not Seen The Lows

November 5, 2008 1:07 PM

We have not seen the lows of the day, IMO. Any and all real strength should be sold into here unless we clear these lows and reverse first. This is timing only and everything higher here should be considered a bounce, as I see things. The lows thus far are 983 on the SP and 9413 on the Dow. The odds these are the lows is slim and none, IMO.

    We only bounced up to 988 thus far….seems like if they really wanted to short this, they would bounce it higher and short it

  2. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:15 pm

    Well, that arent that stupid apparently…. feeble bounce that last all of 10 minutes and now new low…

  3. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:16 pm

    I think it will try and reverse selling in this 9300 area…not sure… you have to have a firm rejection of a low as i see things to be long this…. the chart is getting weaker the longer we stay down

  4. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:20 pm

    This low of 9378 is dead on an sma I watch….it will try and reverse here I believe…we will see..

  5. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:25 pm

    We have to reverse here i believe… the sp and the dow are near hourly sma’s and these moves higher have been supported ONLY by moving averages, IMO….we have to stop the selling in this area as i see things…

  6. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:28 pm

    Hmmm not good, the bounce attempt has failed thus far

  7. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:30 pm

    977 if we go much lower here i think we may see panic

  8. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:52 pm

    Major weakness but zero signs of a low…

  9. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 1:54 pm

    Testing 9000 before this is over would not shock me

  10. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:00 pm

    we have a trend break…and we may bounce here, possibly to 985 or so…. one problem, we have no low in place still… strength is still a bounce here

  11. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:04 pm

    actually, we are under the hourly sma and the trend is down here…. strngth could be very limited… sideways here for time would not be good… the longer we stay under 985 or so, the worse this may get

  12. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:12 pm

    There is a ton of support in this 970 area… I have mentioned i do not believe in support bounces and view them the same as moving averages….temporary… unless the market clearly rejects a low… we havent

  13. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:16 pm

    this is nothing more than a trend break and support bounce, IMO as mentioned

  14. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:23 pm

    this sideways action here is in two words - not good…. they are waiting for the chart to catch up it appears for another leg down…. we have no firm low here

  15. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:36 pm

    new lows…thats a shock, like not at all

  16. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:41 pm

    if we take out this low in the next 5 mins, we should see a sharp pop down…. getting over 975 and holding above it, may signal the low of the day here

  17. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:45 pm

    not exactly as powerful as I would like… but that might be it here,this low has to holld here I believe or the selling pressure may really get going here

  18. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:47 pm

    this low is either going to hold here or the market will likely break down into the close it appears

  19. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:51 pm

    the market made a doji on the SP….which means indecision…thats why I said it wasnt exactly as strong as would be good here…but this low does need to hold here i believe… or we may really get some selling pressure

  20. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 2:57 pm

    Not good….to get everyone on board this as the low… we really needed to close out 2: EST above 350… not good not good….

  21. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:00 pm

    we are below the hourly sma lines and it appears to be causing problems here…. it refuses to move, thus far….

  22. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:01 pm

    they are trying to hold this low here….I think we may run to 9400 here if we can hold this low and get over 9350… anything in the 9400 range I am not sure

  23. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:05 pm

    it is undecided….we really needed to get over 9350 here to confirm this as a possible low, and it refuses

  24. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:06 pm

    never confirmed the low, and it was taken out, the hourly chart suggests we may reverse a little lower… or maybe not

  25. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:09 pm

    the trenline is stopping things in this area i believe… if we do much lower…. we may see some good old fashioned panic here

  26. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:18 pm

    these lows are hourly trendlines i believe, nothing more… I do not like this, at all

  27. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:31 pm

    both the dow and sp made doji’s again…. this hourly trendline is clearly causing support here i believe… this sideways action is making me more skeptical by the minute

  28. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:33 pm

    I am unsure here, same as the market apparently… dojis are hardly resounding lows… but possible

  29. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:35 pm

    ugh, that hourly trend line caused this as I mentioned… both made dojis and took off higher…. hmmm

  30. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:46 pm

    we shouldnt go much below 972 here … it looks like this “might” be the low, especially if we can close out 3:00 EST above 9300… which looks likely…. if we cannot… I am very skeptical

  31. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:48 pm

    hit 972 it should bounce higher here if this low is going to hold I dooo believe

  32. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:50 pm

    this is a mixed bag - at best… the lows were caused by a trend line i believe, made a somewhat weak dji… and sma’s may be adding pressure soon if we see more sideways… I just dont know here it could go either way into the close

  33. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:56 pm

    yep, that appears to be it, they defended the low and moving up… how high, not sure, we have firm high all the way to the high of the day

  34. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 3:59 pm

    this is not a close day, so I do not think we will see a huge up move into the close here… charts says unlikely…I am not the biggest fan in the world of this low… and sideways action… but it is possible

  35. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:12 pm

    this sideways action, as i said is very troubling and generally leads to another leg down once the moving averages catch up…. this is not good as i see things

  36. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:17 pm

    rejected 9350 again for like the 10tjh time…shot down and low was taken out,,, we may see 9100 into the close here… I am not sure as I have said for a week, there are zero firm lows on this move higher

  37. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:18 pm

    this hourly channel nonsense is about 9250…. it is once again possible thats it…. ughhh I hateeeeeeeeeeee trendlines, it is such crap

  38. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:23 pm

    come on implode this thing into the close…. these “channel” traders annoy me the nth degree

  39. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:24 pm

    that channel is clearly broke, IMO… I have no idea of a low here, there really is nothing to stop this

  40. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:25 pm

    whatever low we make before 3:30 is 100% meaningless

  41. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:34 pm

    The bollinger bands, which I personally think are almost worthless suggest we should bounce in here just under 9200…. if people believe in that nonsense

  42. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:39 pm

    9166… come on, i know i hear 9100 out there somewhere

  43. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:41 pm

    What did i say “once the trend turns down, there is NOTHING to stop the fall”, that is why nobody has any idea here where the low is… and selling picks up selling… we have no lows

  44. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:45 pm

    come on, down 465, lets make this an even 500

  45. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:46 pm

    15 mins left, day traders short the futures may take profits here and see a late pop, possible…. we have no firm low still and buying this is nonsense

  46. Tom@StockBlade.com on November 5th, 2008 4:48 pm

    anyhow, who knows where we will close here, it isnt meaningful anyhow… traders are taking profits, thats all it is

  47. Scott on November 5th, 2008 6:28 pm

    you called it on the money

Got something to say?
