Observations: Markets turned during the turn window. Pessimism is evident from surveys, growth forecast downgrades and news articles. It seems possible that either markets might continue higher into the Jackson Hole Summit (Friday) and test 1200 level, or Markets might have already topped out at 1187 (Thursday opening - close enough). After the summit, we might see a “Sell the News” event with markets declining over the next few days. If the market can hold above 1150 then we will see a sharp rally above 1200 level. However, if the market breaks below 1150 (1130-1150 range) then we could see a new low. It will be interesting to see how investors respond to the upcoming decline (Buy the Dip or Short the market). Sentiment will be the best guide to identify market's course over the next few weeks. On the coming decline, we will re-evaluate the situation about whether to buy or to sell short. | |

Not sure if Bernanke can pull rabbit out of the hat and fix everything. The drama might go all the way to "job package" to be announced over the Labor day... it will be interesting to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Ben did not pull a rabbit out of the hat, but it surely seems like markets have bottomed. Over the next few days, we will have a good buying opportunity till mid September (next FOMC meeting) rally.
