S&P 500 June 2011 Technical Forecast - Wrong bull signal would Fail


May 31, 2011 S&P 500 closed today at 1345.20 which is about 1.35% down compared to 1363.62 on the close of Apr 29, 2011. S&P is currently crossed its 50 days EMA of 1328.41 and 21 days EMA of 1333.97

 

With reference to my earlier update buckle up for wild swing and steep pullback, I have mentioned that do not trust this rally and we keep getting the bad news like home prices are going down.


June Forecast - Wrong bull signal would Fail?


Let's look the S&P technical levels in the following chart. S&P 500 is currently above 21 daysm 50 days and 200 days EMA. As technicals are still indicating the bull signal, It may try go higher but eventually it will have to come back to 200 days EMA of 1242.12.



 

If you are a long term conservative investors, then you have to switch your investment strategy and move on the Fixed Income Securities - Govt. Bonds, US Long dated Treasuries (TLT), US Dollar (UUP), etc.

 

If you are a long term risky player in the market, then you can initiate short position and accumulate short position gradually in the coming weeks. You can not expect return in the short term.

 

Only if you are day trader, you have to follow swing strategies. It is ok to bet on the volatility by betting either side (long and short) on the market.
