The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8228 on 1/21/09, as the stock market was up this morning due to IBM's earnings and a bounce in the Banking Stocks like Bank of America ( BAC ) and Citigroup ( C ) after Citi finally slashed their dividend to a penny per share. To top all of this off, Bank of America reported in the final hour of trading that CEO Ken Lewis purchased shares as did 5 other inside directors. The Banking Stocks took off even further as did the overall stock market. The Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 all spiked higher on this news as did Oil prices. The USO, a stock that I own, is getting ready to close over the 10 day moving average at $31.10. This is a positive signal for a short term reversal. Keep an eye on Apple ( AAPL ) earnings tonight as we could have another big up day tomorrow if those earnings are better then expected. I will have full technical analysis of the stock market tonight - Right Here

Dow Jones Open 1/21/09 - Stock Market Opening Prices

Today, 1/21/09, the Dow Jones and Stock Market are opening higher due to a combination of factors. First, I think we are having a nice oversold bounce around key support and resistance level such as
8000 on the Dow Jones and between 815-820 on the S&P 500. Second, we had a nice earnings report out of IBM ( IBM ) last night which is positive for the Nasdaq and the technology stocks. IBM also guided higher on 2009 earnings. Lastly, Citigroup ( C ) has FINALLY cut their dividend to a penny. This might turn out to be the bottom for Citi as usually when companies' slash their dividend, it is the final blow. Only time will tell. Other things to note this for the Open, Oil has started the March contract and is back trading above $40. Check out my Technical Analysis stock charts of the Dow Jones and Nasdaq. It is important to know your support and resistance levels so that you can make better stock trades! Also, for you day traders out there, keep an eye on upcoming earnings dates!

Dow Jones Analysis 1/21/09 - Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 1/21/09

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - January 201, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8000, 8350, 8500

Support Levels: 7773.71, 7500, 7449.38

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

The Dow Jones closed below 8000 for only the second time since this level was broken back in October. This is a break down and is viewed as bearish. There are two support levels worth watching, 7773.71 and 7449.38. 8000 has been a huge support level and I wouldn't be surprised to see us bounce around this level for several days or weeks for that matter. As you can see, the 10 day moving average ( Blue Line ) has crossed back through the 50 day moving average ( Red Line ). For Chartists out there, this is a bearish signal. As long as we stay below 8500, I continue to be bearish on the overall stock market and stocks in general. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Nasdaq Analysis 1/21/09 January 21, 2009

The following is Technical Analysis for the Nasdaq ( NAS ) for 1/21/09

Nasdaq Support & Resistance Levels - January 21, 2009

Resistance Levels: 1456, 1500

Support Levels: 1400

http://stockcharts.com - Chart

The Nasdaq tested the 50 day moving average above 1500 on Friday but failed and broke Thursday's low of 1456. We also closed at the lows today. This action is very bearish and it points to more downside to come. The next support level for the Nasdaq is 41 points away at 1400. This is a solid support level and am expecting a nice bounce once we hit this level. Resistance: On the upside, I will get bullish on a close back over 1500 as well as the 50 day moving average.
