Equities Rebound, Treasuries Pull Back

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Equities around the world are rebounding, and the Treasury market is reversing yesterday’s flight-to-quality rally.

The late-morning RSI readings from the CQG Custom QuoteBoard using 15-minute bars for the equity derivative products slight upside momentum for the e-mini S&P 500 (EPH7), and flat intraday momentum for the e-mini NASDAQ 100 (ENQH7), the DJ Euro […]

The Ten-Year T-Notes Pulls Back

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Yesterday, due to flight-to-quality buying driven by falling global equity markets, the ten-year rallied through resistance. This type of buying can create a very overbought situation, so, pulling back today is very normal. I have plotted a new uptrend channel. The previous resistance zone should now act as support.

Gold Pulls Back Rallies and Falls Back Again

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Yesterday was remarkably volatile. Volatility increased in equities, fixed income and gold. Gold fell back and tested support at $660.00. It looks like $660.00 will be tested again. I removed the upward trend channels because the market broke through the demand lines and I want to see where the market moves from here.

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

So far, today, the constant volume chart, set to 10,000 contracts is indicating steady selling based on the RSI readings consistently closing below 38, and peaking well below 62. This is classic down trend momentum behavior.

Fixed Income in Today’s Top Performing ETFs

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

This morning, just 4-percent of the 228 ETFs I track are showing a positive gain. It is never a good sign when fixed income ETFs make their way into the top performing ETFs. That’s a sign of flight to quality. Excel is linked to CQG for the data.
