Index Watch for October 19, 2009:
S&P 500 Index ($SPX) -- On the Daily Chart , the next area of resistance will be in the 1120 - 1125 area. The first area of support to be aware of is 1060, the lower trendline in the wedge. I think we're going to test the lower part of the wedge (at a minimum) or the 50 MA until we make a run for the 1120 - 1125 area. Even though I think we're going to be much higher in 10 months, I think that will mark an intermediate term top and the correction everyone has expected will occur. This Daily Chart of the index should be kept overhead for those who like to short the market. Until the 8 MA goes under the 50 MA, it's going to be difficult to stay the course with anything more than a day or three. Once they do cross, I'll be more aggressive going short on rallies to resistance. As my Bull / Bear chart illustrates, we are clearly in a Bull Market. Dow Industrials ($INDU) -- The intermediate term target on the Daily Chart is at the upper trendline in the Rising Wedge
