Market Opinion - Trading Week #35

Market Opinion for Trading Week 9 Sep ~ 13 Sep 2013

Have fun trading !~

SPY - 5 Days

Recap on last week

Week closed at  166.04 UP from previous week of 163.65.

Nasdaq have been bumping up last week, was expecting 3 Sep, first trading in Sep after labour to be up after the long weekend. But it just went the exact opposite. Trading days after the first trading day following labour day tends to be bearish which again it went exactly opposite. Except for the quick sell down on Fri, 6 Sep open.

Remind me of something i learnt over the weekend, when the trend or majority of the ppl out there know about certain things, the probability of it happening the opposite way tends to happen quickly.

VIX - daily

VIX closed at 15.86 

Accuracy : 11/24

Market

Major indexes still outperforming by alot compare to the average thus there might be alot of room for a correction in the up coming mths.

DJI : -1.33%

SPX : -1.84% 

NDX : -1.86%

RUT : -2.63%

162 will probably be tested this week or next. The next strong support base on the price volume. If it manage to break below 162 zone, pressure will be added to go for 159. and stay above 167. It should attract more bulls.
