The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8285 on 5/13/09, as the stock market fell on worse then expected retail sales which were down 0.40%. Wall Street has been rallying on several pieces of economic data that have been good over the past two months and retail sales were one of them. The fact that they were worse then expected brought some selling into the stock market today. The Dow Jones closed below its 10 day moving average so tomorrow will be a critical technical day. Over the past two months, each time we've closed below the 10 day moving average, we bounced the following day. If we break down further tomorrow without a bounce, it could get ugly. I am personally looking for the US markets to be down big in pre market and then a classic rally right after the open. I am looking to buy FAS for an oversold bounce if this happens. I plan to then sell into the rally. Judging on the final hour of trading today, I think I have a 40% chance of this trade coming into fruition. I just hope I'm right on the bounce part!

FAS FAZ Stock Analysis May 13, 2009 5/13/09

The Direxion Financial Bull 3X Shares (NYSE: FAS) and the Direxion Financial Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: FAZ) ETF's have been very active over the past six months. The following is technical analysis on Financial Bull ( FAS ) for 5/13/09. Knowing the support and resistance levels for FAS will help you trade FAZ.

FAS Support and Resistance Levels - May 13, 2009

Resistance Levels: $10.00, $10.60, $12.53, $13.27

Support Levels: $9.30, $9.08, $8.09

http://stockcharts.com - Chart

Discuss Stocks - http://stockstobuy.org

FAS made a $9.08 low Tuesday after breaking the $9.30 low from last week. If FAS closes below $9.08 I think it could retest $8.09. I am also watching the 10 day moving average at $9.85. FAS broke down below this but rallied back at the end of the day Tuesday so we haven't violated the 10 day moving average yet. You can use the 10 day moving average as a signal to get back in FAZ. On the upside, now that we had this correction, when FAS closes above $10.60 it will be time to get back in for another upside trade. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones bounced off the 10 day moving average today and closed in the green. This was the first successful test in the past month. As soon as we close below this level, there is downside risk to the stock market.

Keep an eye on the high from last week of 8587.55. If we break up through that level, you could be looking at another 100-200 points on the upside before another small pullback. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Stocks to Watch - 5/13/09 - Stock Market Ideas

Financials: For the second straight day, bank stocks were weak but showed signs of life during the afternoon hours on Tuesday. Below are the following financial stocks I am watching along with a few other stocks as well.

Direxion Financial Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: FAZ)
Direxion Financial Bull 3X Shares (NYSE: FAS) - $10 failed for FAS Tuesday and it tested the next support of $9.30. After plunging to $9.08, FAS came back and traded above $9.30 and then broke back above $10. $9.08 now becomes critical support going forward. If it fails, I look for $8.09 to be tested.

Citigroup Inc (C:NYSE) - Citigroup stock tested the first level of support on Tuesday located at $3.70. $3.50 would be the next area of support and then its back to $3 for Citi. Expect fireworks when Citi breaks through $4.48.

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC) - BAC stock is approaching it's 10 day moving average at $11.30. This should be an area where buyers would step up to the plate. If $11.30 fails, look for $10 to be the next downside target. On the upside, when BAC trades back above $13.55 I will jump in for a trade.

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) - WFC still has support at around $24 as we saw Tuesday....should be a solid support level just above the recent stock offering. A close below the 10 day moving average around $23.79 would not be good.

Ford Motor Company ( F ) - Ford needs to hold $5 or it has massive downside risk into the $3's....be careful! For a trade, I may try to buy F in the low $5's with a tight stop at $4.99. Jim Cramer was on CNBC Tuesday and said " Wait " to buy Ford stock.

Converted Organics Inc. ( COIN ) - Love COIN over $2 as the break out should continue. I don't see any stop in this run until $3.00. I will be buying pullbacks to the 10 day moving average around $1.65.

Google Inc. ( GOOG ) - Jim Cramer said give or take 10 points, he thinks Google stock is bottoming here.

NYSE Euronext ( NYX ) - Jim Cramer says NYX stock is bottoming

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ( BK ) - Jim Cramer likes this stock and says it is bottoming.

Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ( CTIC ) - CTIC stock traded down to $1.26, one penny above the offering on Monday. Since hitting $1.26, CTIC jumped back into the $1.40's. A break above $1.50 and I will jump back into this stock.

DryShips Inc. ( DRYS ) - After two big downgrades Friday & Monday, DRYS finally turned around and went green. This is one stock to watch for the rest of the week. The baltic dry index is breaking out to the upside.
