Last Week Analysis - Too far to touch double top resistance level


S&P was trading in a narrow range of 21 points between 1397 and 1418 which is unusal and it shows that market is getting enough fear to cross this boundary. Since the next target would be a testing of all time high for S&P 500 which is also unsual with the current market weak fundamentals. Semi conductors industry would lead the market compared to all other sector and this has been tested many times in the history. Since Marvell Technology Group (Nasdaq:MRVL) is trading near its 52 week low with disappointing sales outlook shows that the entire market would enter into correction zone rather than testing all time high on the index.


US will hold presidential elections on Nov 06, 2012


With respect to US long term treasury prices, TLT closed today at 121.63 which is big loss for this week compared to the last week close of 125.70. However TLT reached its all time high point of 132.21 on July 25, 2012. The upside is very much limited on US treasuries and downside is huge. In the short time, it will go up. So if you are trading on US treasuries in the short term, it is a good time to liquidate your long position on US treasuries.

 

Last Week Low: 5309.05
Last Week High: 5399.95
