FAS - FAZ Stock Analysis April 21, 2009

The Direxion Financial Bull 3X Shares ETF ( FAS ) and the Direxion Financial Bear 3X Shares ETF ( FAZ ) have been very active over the past six months. The following is technical analysis on Financial Bull ( FAS ) for 4/21/09. Knowing the support and resistance levels for FAS will help you trade FAZ.



Fas Support and Resistance Levels - April 21, 2009

Resistance Levels: $7.00, $8.00 $8.41, $10.05

Support Levels: $6.23, $5.86, $5.10, $5.00



FAS stock crashed below the 10 day moving average today similar to the down move in late March when FAS went under $5. The only difference is FAS is trading above the 50 day moving average and a close below this level on Tuesday would be very bearish. I will be watching $6.23 very closely as a close below this level could spark some additional sell pressure. The next level of support for FAS would be the early April low of $5.86. At one of these two levels, I expect a snap back rebound rally which I will be actively buying FAS for the bounce. Fas was just in the $9 on Friday.

As far as FAZ goes, if FAS closes under the 50 day moving average you will see traders really start to buy the FAZ as protection on their other investments. I am waiting for a close above $12.15 before i'd start to feel comfortable holding FAZ overnight. For traders, FAS and FAZ are the two best ETF's to trade in the stock market.

Dow Jones Analysis 4/21/09 Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 4/21/09

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - April 21, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8000, 8190

Support Levels: 7750, 7550




The Dow Jones closed below the 10 day moving average and also closed at the lows. The next level of support I am looking at is 7750 which held several times in March and April. If this 7750 level does not hold on a closing basis, I feel the 50 day moving average will be retest at 7536. On the upside, 8000 is now resistance and I would be a seller at this level going forward.

Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJIA ) Close - 7841.73 Down 289.60

Libor Rates - 4/20/09 - Mortgage Rates - 4/20/09


Commodities Closing Prices - 4/20/09

Gold - 884.50
Oil - 45.77
Natural Gas - 3.54

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 7842 on 4/20/09, as the stock market went down on profit taking, weak financial stocks, and the fear that the Government is going to try to convert warrants into common shares of some of the distressed banks.

Wall Street woke up to the Dow Jones Futures significantly lower on bank nationalization fears. If the Government takes a bigger stake in these banks, some could argue this would be nationalizing the banks through their back doors. Citigroup ( C ) was down big today on this news.

The stock market made a steady decline all day long with minor bounce attempts at 11:15am EST and 1:30pm EST. These bounce attempts were sold resulting in fresh lows being made. I continue to watch the Financial Bull 3x ( FAS ) as it is rapidly approaching a major support at $6.25. Ok, let me stress that again, MAJOR support level. If $6.25 fails, you could see some panic selling start to set in. Keep in mind, FAS stock has quadrupled in the past 6 weeks. We will get some big earnings reports out this week such as IBM, Apple, Boeing, Ebay, Yahoo, Caterpillar, Wells Fargo, Amazon, Microsoft. Buckle Up! Check out my stocks to watch report for Tuesday.

Stocks to Watch - 4/21/09 - Stock Market Ideas

Financials: The Financial sector was hit hard as investors sold shares of Citigroup ( C ) and Bank of America ( BAC ) after B of A's earnings turned out to be from one time gains. On Friday, I said I am not buying Financial Bull 3x ( FAS ) above $9.00 when it was trading around $9.40 per share. In one trading session, FAS has come down $2.00 per share to trade around $7.40. FAS is now trading below the 10 day moving average which is very bearish and it looks like we may get a retest of the 50 day moving average of around $6.25. I will wait this out over the next few days. A lot will ride on the busy week of earnings reports ahead of us this week. The Financial Bear 3x ( FAZ ) is a great stock to trade on any stock market weakness.

Short ETF's: In addition to the Financial Bear 3X ( FAZ ) short ETF mentioned above, here is a list of short ETF's that were on fire Monday. I will be watching these stocks closely!

ProShares UltraShort Real Estate ( SRS )
