Right after the open, Bank of America ( BAC ) stock fell under $4.00 hitting a low of $3.77. The Dow Jones then made a low at 7845 ( 72 points away from the Hogan Bottom ) and began its surge to over 8000. This might be the 5th or 6th time we've bounced after falling under 8000. Oil also bounced with the Dow Today, closing back over $41 a barrel. Tomorrow at 8:30am the employment report and unemployment rate will be released. This report could be a market mover so make sure you stay tuned. I will have full technical analysis of the stock market tonight, Right Here

Dow Jones Analysis 2/5/09 - Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 2/5/09

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - February 5, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8000, 8125, 8400, 8500, 8765

Support Levels: 7867, 7774, 7500

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

The Dow Jones tested its 10 day moving average today and failed to close above this area. The Dow also failed to close above 8000. These two things are very bearish and we could go down to retest Monday's low of 7867.
If 7867 is broken, the next support is the Hogan Bottom at 7773.71 and the Timothy Geithner Bottom of 7449.38.
As soon as we get back over 8500, I will turn back into a bull...but we have a long way to go!

Nasdaq Analysis 2/05/09 - February 5, 2009

The following is Technical Analysis for the Nasdaq ( NAS ) for 2/5/09

Nasdaq Support & Resistance Levels - February 5, 2009

Resistance Levels: 1525, 1600, 1665

Support Levels: 1500, 1476, 1434, 1400

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

The Nasdaq continues to hold up strong in a tough stock market, 1500 seems to be solid but Thursday we could have problems due to the poor guidance out from Cisco tonight. Futures are tanking!
Technically, 1476 is the area to watch since we bounced off this low on Monday. A break below 1476 could set up for a retest of the Jan low of 1434.
As soon as the Nasdaq can stay over both 10 and 50 day moving averages, it can really start to recover. Go Here
