TradingMarkets Mid-Day Movers
Dow and S&P trade fractionally lower, while the Nasdaq
holds a tiny gain. Crude
oil futures trade lower by 1.25% to $57.62.
Monday’s
market action gave us 3 consecutive lower intraday lows in the S&P 500 Index as
well as in the Nasdaq
(explanations below). This is a bullish signal telling us that
sellers may be done in the short term. It will be interesting
to see if we get more bullish signals today and through the week (click
here for more info).

Higher Highs In A Row and 3 Lower Lows In A Row– The same tactics
applied to 3 consecutive closes in the same direction apply here. 3 higher highs
identifies a market that is overbought, especially when its below its 200 day
ma. 3 consecutive lower lows is an excellent time to be looking for long
positions when the market is above its 200 and to be locking in short positions
when its below its 200 day.
