Dow Jones Analysis 11/24/08 - Stock Market

The following is Stock Market Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 11/24/08

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - November 24, 2008

Resistance Levels: 8175, 8348, 8500
Support Levels: 8000, 7965, 7773, 7500

Friday we got a big rally in the Dow Jones and broke through many key resistance levels with heavy volume. We broke back above the 7773 low, the 7965 low, and closed above 8000. This is very bullish....but we are still in a severe downtrend. As in my previous chart, there is major resistance at 8175-8190 and if we can close above those two levels, I think we can make a push up to 8500 just to see whats there. Monday will key as we will either build from this rally or fail and continue the downtrend. The 10 day moving average at 8348 will also bring sellers just like 8923.18 did. For me personally, I will hold my long positions with a stop at 7965 on the Dow Jones. Keep in mind, we had a great rally but we are only back to Wednesdays close...be cautious!

Art Cashin CNBC 11/21/08 - Citigroup C

Art Cashin was on CNBC this morning, 11/21/08, talking about the markets and Citigroup C.


I think the rumor mongers are still into this game, we just need things to calm down and it will be fine with Citigroup (C).

Options expiration today: We have to see what they do in the final hour... maybe we tip toe into the weekend, regroup Monday, and maybe see if we are in the bottoming phase next week.

Mohamed El Erian Pimco CNBC 11/21/08 Comments

Mohamed El Erian, Pimco's CEO, which is the worlds largest bond investment firm, was on CNBC 11/21/08 and gave some comments about the Stock Market. Mohamed El Erian is a very bright man and knows what he is talking about.

This is a crisis of the system, and now within the system - rather then look for a market bottom, look for how the crisis will morph next. GDP has been falling off a cliff, the stock market is now realizing this and pricing it in. We are looking at 4th quarter GDP that could be down 4 or 5%.

We are witnessing a redefinition of long term market landscape. I was in the Middle East two weeks ago, you would expect them to be stepping in and buying these mispriced assets but they are not, they are confused.

The bond market is telling you this is about massive liquidation, there is a heart attack in the system. It has gone from deleveraging to massive liquidation.
