Dow Jones Finished Slightly Above 10,000

Dow Jones DJIA August 7, 2010 chart

I posted on Tuesday, August 17th that the Dow Jones will drop to 10,000 points from 10,450 points then bounce a bit, and again head lower to the next support level 9,600.  As you can see from trading the actions of August 26 and 27 that it is exactly how it is playing out.

Staying Out of Stocks Until Down Leg is Done - DJIA Shows Downtrend

Dow jones DJIA chart - 6 month

Looking at the 6 month chart for the DJIA, it looks like the market is at the beginning of a downtrend, the 10 and 200 day moving average is well over the price adding to downward pressure, however it looks like their might be a small pop upwards as the price hits the 50-day moving average, but after that my guess is that the downward trend will continue bringing the Dow Jones down to 10,000 and if it breaks past that down to 9,600 again.  Also looking at the MACD it looks like a downward indicator as well ( please read my disclaimer).  I have been wrong before so do your own due deligence, this is just my read on the market.

Dow jones chart july 25

Looking at my stock and index chart indicators, it looks like the markets are headed south for the next leg.  I got out of my position over 2 weeks ago and now it is basically a waiting game, the indicators tell me that I should be in all cash and possibly the DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) is going back under 10,000 within the next month.

Recent Run Up In Market Allowed Me To Close Open Trade Positions

dow jones 6 month index chart

The recent run up in the stock market allowed me to close the positions I had in the two stocks that I have been following which were BBD.A-TO and MVIS. This is a relief because I wanted to make sure that I am not holding any stocks from this point forward, until some bargains presents itself.

Stock Market Jittery - No Direction

Bombardier class A stock shares - stock chart

Currently, I am only trading 2 stocks, Microvision (MVIS) and Bombardier (BBD-A.TO), however since I got into the trading positions for these 2 stocks the stock market is having trouble setting a direction.

On the charts it would seem that both stocks have hit a bottom, and all I am looking for is a movement of about $0.15 to $0.18 and I get out….however it seems that the stocks are struggling to even move that little in price action.
