From the 60-day chart (see first chart at the top) you may see that almost whole April the indexes basically were in the side move. The Dow (^DJI) index was the first index that started to move side-way, then a week later S&P 500index followed this pattern and the Nasdaq 100 index, as always, still could be considered in the up move. From the second 1-year chart (chart at the bottom) you may see that theS&P 500 index stopped its recovery at the same levels where it was in a side move in period from the middle of January to the middle of February 2009. The DJI index stuck somewhat lower and the Nasdaq 100 run over those levels.
Those traders who are more than a year on the market has to know that in the majority situation the indexes are flat in the resistance and the support as a rule is sharp. It could be easily explained by simple fact that greedy buying usually spread over the time while panic selling is always sudden and sharp. Because of that I believe many of technical analysts are asking: "we were in strong recovery… now we are flat… What is the next? Reverse down?"
The answer on this question, I think, lies in the technical analysis of the longer-term trend. If according to the longer-term analysis we are not any more in the recession I would assume that the odds are still on the side of the recovery and we may see some decline after this side-way move and then resumption of the recovery. We already had similar situation from the middle of June 2003 until the end of August 2003, when after strong recovery stock market has been flat for 2 months and then it went back into up-trend for the next 7 months. As I repeatedly mentioned, the stock market cannot move up all the time. During the recovery (or up-trend), time on time, stock market has to release itself from shorter-term overbought conditions. This is exactly what we have right now on my opinion.

Indexes
At the same time the Nasdaq 100 index is already more than 10% above its December 2008 which I think confirms that the investors are disappointed by financial and automotive sectors and are now become attracted by hi-tech, computer, internet, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other sectors that are traded on the Nasdaq Exchange and which were relatively stable during the stock market crash (by relatively stable I mean the stocks from these sectors crashed but not as hard as those who are more dependable on the banking industry). I think it is logical that investors are trying to avoid financial stocks - we saw bailouts, however we have not seen changes in the regulations that would prevent (eliminate) a possibility of the "quick backs" manipulations in the financial sector which may lead to the bubbles and crashes.
On the other hand we have DOW index (^DJI) that is still more than 10% below its December 2008 level. Again, DJI index is heavy packed with the financial, automotive companies (stocks). The DJI index covers biggest US companies and the bigger company is the more dependable this company is on the banks.
So, on one side we have more stable non financial companies and on other side we have risky sector which lead the economy into crash. Yet, keep in mind that the bigger risk the bigger potential reward is – just calculate how many percent Citi stock run from its lowest level??? The same as with options (you may lose everything, yet you can receive more than 100% in profit in short period of time) risky under evaluated companies (stocks) may deliver great returns if this is the end of the recession (if you believe that this is the end).

Simple Technical Analysis
In my last week "S&P 500 Volatility" post I have set next sensitive level market may try to reach. We may see now that the Nasdaq 100 index has broke those levels and run higher, S&P 500 index coming close and the DJI index still almost 1,000 points behind. I still consider that there is a tendency of the market to run higher. The main my argument is that during the recent recovery I witnessed that stock market ignored high volume surges to the up-move and reacted stronger on smaller volume surges to the price down side. It is one of the characteristics of the long term recovery (up-trend) when you need strong oversold indication to see small correction and even light overbought indication restores general market trend.
One one hand I am bullish in the longer-term, on the other hand it is second month when the stock market is in the recovery movement and it would not be a smart move to expect that it will be like this forever. The market will not go up without corrections. Even if my technical analysis (60-day chart I used in my previous posts) indicates higher odds of the further recovery, I'm not telling that in the next few sessions the same technical analysis could turn from bullish into bearish. If the S&P 500 and DJI indexes come to the levels where they stuck (moved flat) in December 2008, there is a possibility we may see flat market again. A lot of traders were entering position in period from the end of October 2008 until beginning of January 2009 (see 2-year DJI chart) and many of them will be in the position to make a trading decision - to keep a position opened or close it with small losses/profit. That is the reason why I call those levels sensitive.
Even the market is positive at this moment the volatility is still high and it's not a time yet when we may forget for intraday charts and take a look at them once a week.
Happy Easter to everyone.

S&P 500 Volatility
Isn't it nice to watch rising market. Last week on March 29, 2009 in my "S&P 500 Chart" post I have mentioned about increased possibility of the a correction down and we had it. Now, the stock market is up again. We see over the last month what I would call "one step down, two-three up" - we have shallow correction down and then strong continuation of recovery. Again, I repeat what I stated on March 22 in my "Short Technical Analysis" post:
...March 6, 2009 bottom was the last drop in the recession and now we are in the long-term recovery. In this case this bullish volume could be ignored and could indicate long term change in the stock market sentiment as it was in period from March 12 to March 21 of 2003...
That is exactly what wee see: big bullish volume surges during the index up-move are required to push indexes into a small correction, while even small bearish volume surge reverses the indexes back into the up-trend. It's not just about volume indicators. If you take a look at other technical analysis indicators you may notice similar picture: only after strong oversold signal the indexes go down and weak overbought signal push indexes back into recovery mode.
That is exactly what we see when to we do shorter term technical analysis: big bullish volume surges during the index up-move are required to push indexes into a small correction, while even small bearish volume surge reverses the indexes back into the up-trend. It's not just about volume indicators. If you take a look at other technical analysis indicators on shorter-term charts you may notice similar picture: only after strong oversold signal the indexes go down and weak overbought signal push indexes back into recovery mode.
To better understand this shorter term phenomenon we have to take a look at higher timeframe charts. Yes, 60-day chart is good and I use it in many cases to define the general market sentiment, yet, time on time look at higher timeframe is recommended.
From the 2-year S&P 500 chart (1 bar = 2 days) below you may see, that even we had high volume over the past month, from the long-term prospective it is still volume at the bottom – it is still bearish volume and the market is still strongly oversold on this chart.
The stock market sentiment (sentiment of the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and DJI indexes) is positive on this chart. The next sensitive level for S&P 500 is $900 and for DJI is $9,000. We saw a lot of volatile trading around both these levels in period from October 2008 until January 2009.
On the same S&P 500 chart above I have plotted ATR (Average True Range) indicator to display the market volatility over the past year. I mentioned several times that volatility technical analysis is recommended for every trader. The purpose of this analysis is to recognize different stock market stages and adjust technical indicators and trading systems to the current market condition. By following the market volatility I would say:
- Before June 2007 the ATR was in the range of 10-15 points – we were in uptrend.
- In June 2007 the S&P 500 volatility doubled – first sign of recession.
- The Volatility stayed on the June’s level (in the 20-30 points range) until August 2008 – From June 2007 until August 2008 we were in recession.
- After August 2008 we had sharp increase in volatility (up to five times) with peak on October 22, 2008 – it was stock market crash (it was not any more a recession, it was crash).
- We had extremely high volatile market in period from August 2008 until November 2008 – stock market crash.
- Since then the S&P 500 volatility dropped down and basically stays on the June 2007 - August 2008 levels. I would call period from December 2008 until February 2009 as "after crash distribution" or as "levelling" when those stocks that still have to go down went further down (DJI stocks) and those stocks that were healthy and already undervalued remained flat (Nasdaq 100).

S&P 500 Stocks
The S&P 500 is the most widely followed index After the Dow Jones Industrial Average index and it is considered a barometer for the American economy. The S&P 500 index is included in the Index of Leading Indicators. There are the number of trading vehicle that are designed to follow the S&P 500 index. Hundreds of billions of US dollars have been invested in this index. The SPY (Exchange Traded Fund) is one of the most actively trading stock over the world. The Rydex, ProFunds and other mutual funds and exchange traded funds are designed so as to follow the performance of the S&P 500 index.
Below you may see the list of the S&P 500 stocks (companies) as of April 4, 2009. This could be an outdated listing, yet it may give you the picture of what companies are selected into the S&P 500 index basket. For most recent S&P 500 components listing I would recommend visiting the Standard & Poors official website.
