Midday Market Commentary For 06-10-2014
Depressed morning trading continued sideways in a sea-saw fashion as volume dropped to anemic levels by the noon hour.
There is nothing on the financial horizon that would suggest any changes in the markets current direction at this time. However, with investor complacency at its lowest in years, I would be especially alert for violent market swings, mostly down, that could occur at any time.
This market is especially ripe for volatility swings and a nasty correction downward is not out of the question.
The short term indicators are leaning towards the hold side at the midday. The all important signs of reversal, up or down, have not been observed so we are mostly, at best, neutral and conservatively holding. The important DMA’s, volume and a host of other studies have not turned and that is not enough for me to start shorting. The SP500 MACD has turned up, but remains above zero at 18.72. I would advise caution in taking any position during this volatile transition period although Barchart.com shows a 40 % sell. (Up from 32% sell this morning) Investing.com members’ sentiments are 66 % bearish and Investors Intelligence sets the breath at 67 % bullish with the status at Bear Correction.
