The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8212 on 5/1/09, as the stock market zig-zagged between positive and negative territory all day. The Dow Jones Futures were slightly positive this morning but stocks opened flat on one of the most boring days of the year so far. The only huge news was that the stress test results will be delayed until May 7th. Next Friday we get the April unemployment data out so make sure you market that on your calendar.

Dow Jones Analysis 5/1/09 Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 5/1/09

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - May 1, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8190.66, 8300, 8500

Support Levels: 8000, 7750, 7550

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones had a nice day early but then failed after the Chrysler announcement. The Dow still has not closed over the 8190 high from April and everytime it gets above 8200 it is sold. At this point, 8000 now becomes a critical support level as we await the stress test results on Monday. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Stocks to Watch - 5/1/09 - Stock Market Ideas

Fianancials: The Financial Bull ( FAS ) tested $9 Thursday but failed at $8.91. FAS is now back to support around $8.50. On the downside, $8 must now hold or it could be back to retest $7. I stopped trading FAS and FAZ as the stress test results are due out on Monday and don't want to get caught in a position. I will resume trading these on Tuesday.

MGM Mirage (MGM) - MGM stock exploded higher after the open, touching $9.94. $8 was then tested twice with a low of $7.90. At 2:30pm Thursday, MGM was back at $8.60. This will be an active stock tomorrow so I will surely be trading it again. For a trade, I like pullbacks to $7.50 or a break back through $9.
