The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8200 on 1/14/09, as the stock market fell yet again today, this time on horrible retail sales figures ( down 2.7% ). There are also more fears about Timothy Geithner becoming Obama's Treasury Secretary. Look for a rally if Geithner is confirmed. What else happened today? The financial stocks continued to be weak - Citigroup ( C ) down another 20% as it has dipped below $5 to hit $4.50. The S&P 500 broke a key support level of 850 and is continuing the downward spiral. Stock Market down volume was 9 to 1 this morning which is the largest we've seen since November. The volume remains light as there just is no buying going on right now. Do you remember what started this whole rally off the lows ( 7500 to 9100 )? Timothy Geithner being nominated as the next Treasury Secretary back in November. Keep an eye on JP Morgan ( JPM ) earnings tomorrow morning!

Support - The Dow Jones as support at 8150 and 8000 - The Nasdaq broke 1500 and has support around the 1450 level. I will have full technical analysis this evening Right Here

Dow Jones Open 1/14/09 - Stock Market Report

Today, January 14, 2009 - The Dow Jones and Stock Market are opening significantly lower. This technical breakdown started days ago when Citigroup ( C ) stock started to break support levels and the Dow Jones broke 8500. The next key support level for the DJIA would be at the 8130-8150 level. This area has been a spring board over the past two months and i'd expect us to bounce if we get to this level as buyers step in. With the Dow trading at 8262, we are soon there.

The Nasdaq is also testing key support of 1500...if this level breaks, look for 1450 as the next support area.

Art Cashin CNBC 1/14/09 January 14, 2009

Art Cashin came on CNBC today, 1/14/09, and gave his comments on the stock market. Art is a floor trader from UBS on the floor of the NYSE.

Art Cashin Comments January 14, 2009

Retail sales were ugly this morning combined with the concern over Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary. For the start of the year, we had rally - people are staying away from the market in case Geithner does not get in there due to these tax problems.

Some people are saying the blow to financials could effect New York real estate industry in a big way.

Optimism? We stopped rallying on bad news - this is not good! We are at key levels in the markets, for the S&P 500, keep an eye on 850, if that fails we could give back all of November's rally.

Today's Biggest Gainers - Top 2009 Stock Gainers

The Dow Jones has closed below 8500 for the second straight day.....this is something to watch closely as we bounced off of the next support level of 8350 today. Resistance is at the 50 day moving average at 8643 and the 10 day moving average at 8748.
I remain very cautious with the Dow Jones under 8500 as stated before. 8150 has shown as a solid support level over the past several months and i'd be willing to buy there for a bounce

Today's Biggest Gainers - Top 2009 Stock Gainers

The continues to be weak with the rest of the stock market but has been stronger then the other major averages lately. The Nasdaq remains over the key support of 1500 but has traded two straight days under both moving averages, 10 and 50 day. This is something to watch closely. If support is broken, you could see all the major runners lately break down ( DRYS , GOOG, RIMM ). 1450 would be the next target for the Nasdaq. For More Technical Analysis, Go Here
