Last week I have mentioned about side-way trading and waiting until upper or lower resistance lines is broken. Majority of indexes (including Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and DJI) have run about their high levels (resistance levels) which were set in March, 2010.
The one may notice that even we had overbought signals, sometimes (as I mentioned a week ago) it is good to wait for a confirmation signals. The main indexes (nasdaq 100, DJI, S&P 500, etc) have run above their March, 2010 resistance levels and such move could be considered as a possibility of resuming up-trend. Only a few indexes remained in side-way action. Some of them are Nasdaq Biotechnology, Nasdaq Health Care, and Nasdaq Insurance (see my "Nasdaq Health Care" post). The strongest up-move has been seen in DJT (transportation) sector.
If a week ago technical indicators where mixed and some of them were pointing on possibility of down move, by the end of this week, most of them became bullish. Only some of the volume based technical indicators (see negative divergence on SBV Oscillator on the S&P 500 chart below) remain to indicate overbought levels.
Despite the fact that we may see big bullish volume accumulation, the volatility has drop to its lowest level. Last time such low volatility has been seen in the S&P 500 sector in 2007. The S&P 500 volatility (I refer to daily ATR – Average True Range) was at these levels in period from the middle of 2003 until the middle of 2007 (4 years). As a rule low volatility is an indicator of stability.
