EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
A bit of profit taking today which is no surprise given the big spike yesterday and as traders look to lock in some gains. Even with the selling today all of the major indexes are back over their respective 20 day moving averages with the Dow also back above its 200 day. Even though the selling has been fairly contained today the VIX shot up over 10% at one point and is currently back above all key technical levels and reminding everyone that traders are more than ready to unload more shares on any threat of further selling. But that strong rally yesterday that came as the Fed relaxed its interest rate stance some caught the attention of a lot of traders who are wondering if there might be a Santa Claus rally coming after all. We might get some more clues over the next few days when leaders from the G20 nations meet to try to find common ground. We've now got a new level of support on the S&P at 2713, the 20 day moving average. To the upside the S&P got as high as 2744 yesterday so that is now resistance. Bottom line; things look better today for the bulls than they have in a while but there's still a lot more repair work to be done before declaring the market is out of the woods.
