The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 7933 on 2/12/09, as the stock market fell because of a hang over from Timothy Geithner's failed bank rescue plan which was released on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Futures started the day very weak and was down over 220 points by 3pm today. News was released at 3pm by Reuters stating that Obama is looking into a Housing Plan that would subsidize the mortgage payment of a US home owner after the new home value is set. Details are still unclear but this news has the market reversing off the lows today. Hogan's Bottom low of 7773 was broken intra day but we managed to close over this level. It appears the shorts covered at the close causing the stock market to rebound all the way back!

Stocks on the move today: Palm ( PALM ) was very strong today and it is breaking out to a new 52 week high as well as a new 1 1/2 year high. PALM looks poised to rip into the $10's as their new smart phone is coming. Palm is one of the hottest stocks in 2009 so far.

Dow Jones Analysis 2/12/09 Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 2/12/09

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - February 12, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8000, 8100, 8376, 8404, 8500

Support Levels: 7845, 7774, 7500

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

The Dow Jones held the 7845 low from last week but failed to close back over 8000 and the 10 day moving average at 8056.47...this is very bearish! I am waiting to buy on a close over the 10 day moving average.
Support continues to be 7845 and the Hogan Bottom at 7773.71. Every time we've been down in this 7900 level we have bounce. The next few days will be critical once again!

Nasdaq Analysis 2/12/09 February 12, 2009

The following is Technical Analysis for the Nasdaq ( NAS ) for 2/12/09

Nasdaq Support & Resistance Levels - February 12, 2009

Resistance Levels: 1532.58, 1600, 1665

Support Levels: 1500, 1495, 1476

http://stockcharts.com - Chart

The Nasdaq continued the slide today and every bounce back to the 50 day moving average failed. Until we get back over this moving average, the Nasdaq is very vulnerable. The Nasdaq has shown great strength lately so when the markets finally turn, tech is where you will want to be. As long as we hold 1500, I remain bullish and will buy these pullbacks. I have been actively trading the QLD. For more technical analysis - Go Here
