Market has come off double bottom with the following stat from low to intraday high on Friday. :
S&P 500 UP 1148.22 points or 6.13%
Dow UP 1168.51 points or 7.33%
Nasdaq UP 354.32 points or 7.89%
To get that kind of move in 8 trading days is exceptional.
Easy move has been done
Now comes the tough part of digesting fast gains and fighting resistance.
Resistance is clearly @ 200 DMA in all indices.....
Some technicians are looking @ 2040 in S&P 500 as resistance...
US$ has been weak which has given a boost to stocks, oil, gold currencies and commodities
There is a strong feeling that US$ may resume its strength very soon, that will have opposite effect on above......
Gold is entering its weak seasonality in October.....
Sentiments of new found bulls are too euphoric
Bears are still leading bulls by 2.2%.....which is a contrary indicator, means there is still room for bullish TAPE.
SO...based on all that has happened and may be ready to occur, what strategy to implement.....
Do not go with euphoric moves which has already taken place
Try to focus on laggards with good fundamental
Try to book profit earlier than later
TAPE may rest for a while as earning picture gets clear...
I do not expect earnings to give a broader lift to the market, it will be a stock specific situation.
All in all is to check your euphoric side and be more conservative.....
Market has been tough and may remain so.....

About market, TAPE continued its march towards higher highs, S&P 500 is above 50 DMA alongwith Dow, Nasdaq is next to conquer, its only 31 points away. Tonight IBD is changing its markets outlook to " market in confirmed uptrend " Dow has been UP 5 days in a row. When VIX reaches 15 area, market will be @ fair value. Rotation needs to be in focus as first mover stocks need a rest.

About market, TAPE showed its strength today despite profit taking bout in mid day. S&P 500 is fractions away from taking out 50 DMA, Dow has already done that. Internals of the market was all positive, we continue to make higher highs in all indices. Profit needs to be booked as many stocks are lagging behind, rotation is a good strategy. There is new strength in beaten down stocks which is good for broadbased rally.

About market, All indices made higher highs and Dow closed above 50 DMA. After hour earnings reports are on the weak side especially YUM which may raise Chinese growth issue. Any weakness is a buying opportunity and may not last too long. Oil & Gold are getting bid in this environment. Stay the course, we are heading in the right direction.
