Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for June 22, 2009 by Idan Koren

Posted by admin on March 26th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | 12 Comments »

Today I look only at the SPY and VIX chart, but I forecast two potential scenarios in the market, that both lead to a higher (lower volume) ending day (0.5-1%) for tuesdays trade. The first is a small gap higher due to the amateurish action that happened in the last 20 minutes of trading and then a sustained low volume increase until the end of the day, potentially forming a doji green candle. The second is a continued sell off lower to hit the 88.20 level in which we will reverse mid day and end the day potentially flat or slightly positive. I hope you take my words of advice that I put out on this video because it is extremely important in order to become a good trader!

Part 2 – Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for September 15, 2009 by Idan Koren

Posted by admin on March 20th, 2010 and filed under stock chart | No Comments »

Today we look at how the market is forming a possible top and end to the rally for the short and short/medium terms. We see that many short ETFS are forming capitulation bottoms, and that many stocks are rallying beyond sustainable levels. With that in mind, we believe that one of the targets for this rally will form the last resistance, and we will begin at least a 20-25% consolidation. While we do have still a potential 1-3% more upside from here, going short today was smarter than going long. This market in the near term (1-2days) could consolidate once more, if not reverse. Our targets are 1053-1055, or 1067-1068 and finally 1088 (if it ever reaches it), based on fib retracement targets. In these videos we show you the Dow and how it hits resistance, the S&P and how that hits resistance of the wedge and horizontal price resistance. We show you individual stocks such as the USO, XLF, SRS, JPM, SPY, WYNN and MGM.

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for February 4, 2009 by Idan Koren

Today we look at the market sell off that we were able to predict very accurately. For the past 2 weeks we have hit the nail on the head in every move, down and up. The SPY target for the rally was 110.40, and even though we peaked a little above that, the 60 minutes never closed above 110.40.

Jobs numbers will be coming out tomorrow, but we might get a little bit of that puke trade where we sell off a few more points in the morning and then bounce back. A break of the blue trendline would mean heavier sell offs.

We look at the GLD triangle, SPY, AAPL, UPS and BPI.

Today I update my fellow viewers on what the last 2 days of action really mean for this market. The DOJI candle that formed today on incredible low day could be viewed as two things: The first, is that it is a consolidation pattern for the huge move up that we had on Thursday. The second is that it is an indecision reversal candle. i would believe the former only if we get another day of consolidation down on low volume. However, I believe the latter because there are a lot of resistance which points could point to a move lower. We formed a double top area at 922 on the SPX, and this could actually be the top of the right shoulder. As we form the Head and Shoulders formation, other resistances such as the 923 level, descending channel, 20 SMA Daily lie overhead and could provide a strong push lower. Monday’s action could be one of a fakeout, we might get a rally in early trading to hit those resistances and then fall down from there to at least down 1.5%. If we fall down on low volume though, I will look to position myself long. My other advice is to not get too bullish before the 923-924 is broken. And also to take profits at the 880 level if it is reached at any point next week. We could very well break 880 but i think taking some profits off there is important and essential. I look at the SPY, AAPL, GS and VIX

Have a great weekend!

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for January 24, 2010 by Idan Koren

Today we step back and look at the last 3 days of trading as they have broken both the ascending wedge formation and the megaphone formation to the downside (both are very bearish patterns).

My guess is that we could have started a shorter-term and potentially a longer term top. I outline the channel that people should be eying and the type of trades that we should be looking at. I also look at our 2 short trades that have been working out nicely

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for July 2, 2009 by Idan Koren (PART1)

Posted by admin on March 8th, 2010 and filed under stock chart | 3 Comments »

Hey guys,
I have compiled a 3 part long video that not only talks about the SPY to its full extent but also about 8 different charts and how we’re suppose to read into this type of market. In this video I concentrate on the SPY. For the SPY I look at a potential move lower in early trading only to reverse and end up a little higher. I do believe that the H&S will eventually break but this might take another 4-5 days. I look at potential targets for the SPY as we move lower and where I believe shorting would be most desirable.

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for June 29, 2009 by Idan Koren

First of all I want to go ahead and admit that I was wrong when I said that the market would go up early in the morning and then reverse in late trading to fall about 1-1.5%. That was my intuition but it obviously didn’t happen. The market continued to stay at very strong resistance but failed to break it. It looks like my down day might get delayed by a couple of hours and take affect either tomorrow or the day after. Tomorrow is an important day as it is also the last day of the month. At this point i would rather be more bearish than bullish as we have the H&S formation still in play and a lot of resistance from over head, and today’s volume was incredibly low (as low as fridays or even lower). I look at different charts to show how the bearish side looks more promising, but I stay neutral on some action. I view SPY, XLF, GS, AAPL, AMZN, VIX.

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for April 3, 2009 by Idan Koren

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under stock chart | 1 Comment »

Today we looked at the markets and have officially declared a BULL MARKET, as we have broken some key resistance lines on the SPY and tested them on the QQQQs (a confirmed breakout for the Qs) and the VIX finally broke down under the support line that has been holding it ever since this market fell in october. We also look at GS as it gave us the que to be long the market when it broke out from it’s bull flag channel and rallied up all the way to it’s longer term ascending channel. We look at SRS finally forming a head and shoulders which can take it to insane lows, and XLF breaking out of it’s inverse head and shoulders. We look at Wells Fargo as it finally showed some strength and is sitting at resistance of an inverse head and shoulders which should take it higher. Monday we may see a pull back as a lot of these stocks are overbought and are sitting on some strong resistance levels and need to pull back a little. The only reason we remain a little skeptical of this breakout is because the Dow Jones has not broken out of it’s channel yet, and lately the technicals worked best on the Dow, but the Qs led the market higher and so did the XLF today, and that’s an encouraging sign. We also looked at AMR as it rallied above a triangle formation and tested the resistance as support. Looking good there!

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for June 15, 2009 by Idan Koren

Hey guys,

Even though this week is options expiration week, ti seems like this market is acting very reasonably and is following the charts so far to the tee. Today I look at the SPY and talk about the significant, high volume (relatively) drop that we had and where I think we’re headed in the next few days. The SPY has traded below the 92.80 level but managed to regain it by the end of the day. This means that we have potentially started a new trend of lower highs and lower lows…, but we will have to see how far the bulls can take this market up before we can safely categorize this bearish trend. I also look at the VIX which broke its descending wedge resistance, and how it can be free to move higher from here. In addition look at charts of GS, XLF, DZZ, SRS, UNG and AMZN.
