Our stock market direction ratings are: 1) Short Term: Bearish; 2) Long Term: Bearish...Moving support/resistance levels higher for DJIA (12,076/12,202), S&P 500 (SPY) (1,288/1,297), and Nasdaq Composite (QQQ) (2,679/2,687)...DJIA (DIA) closes slightly above 21 day moving average-S&P 500 resistance level is 21 day moving average at 1,297 (tried to get above it today)...Nasdaq Composite back above

Stocks traded positive for the entire session today (except the DJIA was negative for a short period of time) on pre-holiday type investor participation. Gains on the DJIA (DIA), S&P 500 (SPY), and Nasdaq Composite (QQQQ) ranged between 0.3% to 0.5%. The leader today was the Semiconductor Index (SOX) which rose 1.1%.

The major indexes for the most part are still showing resilience near their 21-day moving averages. However, market breadth/volume trends are on the negative side and sentiment still seems way too complacent. Support and resistance levels for the indices have edged down.

LCC hitting resistence with a red dark clould candle above the upper bollinger band. Shorting below yesterday's low
LCC short: sell stop 8.95, stop loss 9.11, target 8.41

UYM (leveraged basic material ETF): bearish enguling double top, and stochastic crossover. Markets are poised for a correction, shorting market.
UYM short: sell market, stop loss 59.25, target 54.04

The stock market had another nice day in terms of price action with the major indexes all posting gains of 1% or higher. Breadth was strong again (not like when the rally began in March 2009-could indicate a late stage bull market) but volume figures are making it difficult to determine if the resumption of the rally is for real or just a head fake.

As we have been suggesting the recent stock market consolidation has been constructive enough that we have reframed from calling it a correction. One reason for our thesis is the Semiconductor Index (SOX) has remained strong and outperformed the broader market during the consolidation phase. Good economic data today propelled stocks significantly higher.
