Stock Market Commentary: Moving Average Resistance

Early attempts to follow through from Friday soon faded in weak afternoon trading. The 50-day MA played as resistance in the Nasdaq


and Nasdaq 100


Small caps encountered similar resistance, but large caps were left in limbo with reaction lows in October acting as temporary support. The pennant consolidation pattern in the Dow narrowed but has yet to break; Tuesday could see a very strong reaction. Swing trade with a stop on the reverse


Volume was lighter, so no real consensus as to what direction market participants want to move the market over the longer term; again, the tight trading typically produces strong reaction moves and this might give the market direction over the next six months.
