Indices closed down .39% to .59% in high volume....

Indices took a tumble on Greece political mayhem, Greece stock market @ 20 year low. This took a major toll in world markets.

Markets tried to find its footing but still fell short of a classic V bottom.

S&P 500 @ low today was down 4.77% from its recent high of 1415.32.

RSI @ 40.91

Internals were :

Down volume led by 2.66 to 1 in NYSE & 2.06 to 1 in Nasdaq

Declining stocks led by 1.52 to 1 in NYSE & 1.07 to 1 in Nasdaq

New 52 wk lows were leading, 74 in NYSE & 94 in Nasdaq

VIX closed UP @ 19.05

Oil closed Down @ $97.01

Gold closed Down @ $1604.50

AH Futures, Asian Markets, Oil & Gold Down

About market, we are overdue for an "oversold bounce". TAPE has been WEAK. Many stocks are   trading  @ multi- month lows. Many sectors are WEAK. Technical health of this market does not bode well for a sustained move UP. Few areas of market are showing strength for a bounce, CMF is green in S&P 500 & DOW, Nasdaq still negative, but improving. The way we closed today, gives hope for a "green close on Wednesday".

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

I bought AAPL calls low of the day yesterday and sold when it hit 369+. In this market, when gains are present it to me, I will take it.

It is a shame that market down everyday and we can't even see a good bounce. Like you, I really think it is a matter of time when we see one.

Yesterday's end day move is very powerful. If it is not for Spain, future should be green now. But anyway, I might buy the open

Good luck with your purchase.

Option on AMZN is bullish. I am watching it very close. I get some MS @15.44. Look like downside is limited

Up said...

C

One thing I have to say about AMZN is it had not participate on this years rally and with earning confirm last quarter, I think it will hit high of the year before pulling back. When looking at chart, it is overbought but i compare this stock to AAPL when it go up everyday until it hit 600+.
