Is the Market A Buy or Short Sale?

Is the market a buy or short sale? That’s the question that is going through many trader’s minds this week. Should I buy this market, or should I go short this market? At the moment, this market is being driven by perception and sentiment. Eventually that will change and the market will become driven by the direction of the major trend.

Our major trend indicators remain negative on the equity markets. We are also looking at the S&P 500 at the top of the Donchian trading channel. I believe that was the reason for yesterday’s sharp move down.

In order for this market to really get going on the upside it needs to clear the highs of 1230 on the S&P 500 in a convincing fashion.

There is so much confusion in the marketplace right now.....Interest rates, mortgage foreclosures, contagion in Europe and the occupation of Wall Street. The markets always have numerous conflicting thoughts, but eventually the market figures it out and goes the way it wants to go. Our job here at MarketClub is to recognize those changes and alert you to what we are witnessing.

Let's look at todays action in the U.S. Dollar........

The dollar index moved to a five day high today before succumbing to selling pressure. We would not be surprised to see a rally back to the 78.50 area. We continue to be friendly to this index and want to hold long positions with money management stops. The Dollar index is coming from a large energy field that is capable of carrying it much higher. Long term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate stops in place.

The December U.S. dollar index closed down 31 points at 77.11 today. Prices closed nearer the session low today. Significant near term chart damage has occurred recently to suggest a near-term market top is in place.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Negative
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Positive
Combined Strength of Trend Score = – 55

Now, let’s go to today's video and look at the 6 major markets we track every day.

The Key to Success is Having Discipline and Following MarketClub’s Trade Triangles

We have been on the right side of the markets for quite some time now.  It is in times like these when technical analysis really shines.  It doesn’t matter if you have a strong upward trend in gold or a downward spiraling trend in stocks, technical analysis works.

We feel we have a target rich area for trading opportunities right now.  Some of the best money can be made during periods just like this.  A key to being successful in markets that are having large moves is to be disciplined and follow MarketClub’s Trade Triangles.

DOLLAR INDEX

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends                = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends    = Negative
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends                     = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score                                    = – 60

Our comments today remain pretty much the same as they were yesterday, as there has been very little directional change in this market.  The 73.50 level continues to act as support for the dollar index. This market has remained in a fairly well defined trading range for the last several months. With a Chart Analysis Score of -60 we would want to approach this market using our Donchian Trading Channels as well as our Williams %R indicator.  The index remains below its 200 day moving average, while our longer-term Trade Triangle remains positive.

Forget About the Dollar; There are Other Ways to Make Money in the Forex Market

Most people immediately think about the dollar when Forex markets are mentioned. Sadly, the main reason is its declining value against the other major currencies. There are several ways to look at the foreign exchange markets and one of them is to compare other major currencies. For example, you could be looking at the euro against the Japanese yen or any number of combinations in between.

In today's video we will be looking at the Swiss franc versus the Japanese yen over the past 12 months. I'm going to be showing you a very simple, yet very effective, approach that has proven to be 72% accurate in 2010-2011 when trading this particular cross rate.

In fact, using this easy to understand approach, you would have made just seven trades in approximately 12 months. As you can see, this is not a hyperactive approach. However, it will put the odds of making money on your side if you stick to the game plan. As in all trading, having a game plan in foreign exchange is extremely important.

If after watching this video you would like to know more about our trading system and the indicators we use just take us up on our FREE two week trial of MarketClub.

We hope you find this video informative and educational. As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. All we ask is that you let us know what you think by leaving a comment, talk about us on your blog, Tweet to a friend or share us on Facebook.

FXE....Another Nice Profit in This ETF

We have been trading the ETF FXE for some time now in MarketClub’s Perfect “R” Portfolio and today we exited our long position at $136.64, which produced a profit of $8.14 a share. This market has performed very well for us and we have only had two major trend changes for the year so far. The FXE is an ETF that mimics the Euro versus the US Dollar, so there’s always plenty movement which equals opportunity in the market. That is one of the principal reasons why we chose to include this ETF in the Perfect “R” Portfolio. Right now our score is a -60, meaning one should be on the sidelines until a more defined trend takes place. This is one of the beauties of this portfolio; you are not in the market all the time.

Here's an ETF that you may want to take a look at....

We just finished a new short video on an ETF that's looking very interesting. The video runs a little over two minutes and gets right to the meat and potatoes of this market.

This particular ETF is leveraged and trades almost 2,000,000 shares a day, so it is nice and liquid. What makes this ETF so interesting, is that it plays such a big part on the financial world stage.

New Video: Is it Time for the Dollar Index to Rally?

The dollar index, which put in a strong performance in the first six months of the year, pulled back from its recent highs and appears to be in defensive mode.

If you are not familiar with the US dollar index (USDX), it is an index, or measure, of the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies. Its weighted geometric mean of the dollar's value is compared with these currencies in the following percentages:

* Euro (EUR), 57.6% weight
* Japanese yen (JPY), 13.6% weight
* Pound sterling (GBP), 11.9% weight
* Canadian dollar (CAD), 9.1% weight
* Swedish krona (SEK), 4.2% weight
* Swiss franc (CHF) 3.6% weight

In this short educational video, we point out what we see in the dollar index and the reason why we think a potential rally may be in the foreseeable future.

As always our videos are free to watch and there is no need for registration. If you'd like to make a comment on this or any of our videos, we enjoy hearing your thoughts.

New Video: Forex Should not be Foreign to You

It's the biggest market in the world and is traded 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, and therefore one that is impossible to ignore. I'm speaking, of course, about the forex market.

The question is, is this the tail that's wagging the dog? Meaning, is the forex market, mainly the euro, dictating the trend in American and European equity markets.

The answer is yes, for the moment it is. Now, if you're not familiar with the forex markets and the euro, you should look at the ETF FXE, the spot euro, and also the euro futures market at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), as they are all tradable.

In today's short video we show you exactly how we think this currency will play out in the future. And as always, our videos are free to watch and there is no need for registration. Please leave us a comment on your thoughts on this video and the current market.

New Video: The Battle of the Bull and Bears

The battle between the Bulls and Bears continues with very choppy trading action. The rally from a potential double bottom is cause for concern for the Bears, however the Bulls are in a similar situation as they have to prove their case with sustained market action.

In our new video, we outline some of the key levels that we think are important in the S&P 500 market. Volume continues to to be light and that is why the markets are moving around and are so volatile at the moment.

This is our first video this week, but expect many more as the market rotates. Don't miss our special risk free trial offer to MarketClub, my premium charting service, offered at the end of this video.
