S&P 500 Analysis 1/26/09 January 26, 2009

The following is Technical Analysis for the S&P 500 for 1/26/09

Resistance Levels: 850, 900, 944

http://stockcharts.com - Chart

The S&P 500 has held the 800 level and appears to have formed a bottom around 804.30. If 800 is broken at any time, I am expecting the low of 741.02 to be tested. Resistance is currently at 850 and if we close above this level, I am expecting the S&P 500 to retest 900.
A close above 944 is what you want to see if you are long this market as this would be a positive sign and a continuation of December's uptrend. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Dryships DRYS Technical Analysis 1/26/09

The following is technical analysis of Dryships ( DRYS ) stock for January 26, 2009. You can see a stock chart of this analysis at: http://blackberrystocks.com/drys.html

Support and Resistance Levels - Dryships DRYS

Resistance - $13, $13.70, $15
Support - $10, $9.00, $8.80, $7.28

Drys is back near support at $10 per share...the low on Friday was $9 and it held the $8.80 late December low. As long as Dryships doesn't close below $10 I am comfortable owning this stock over $10 as this appears to be just a pullback to the 50 day moving average. If Drys closes back under the 50 day moving average, more selling could really hit the stock hard. $13 is the new resistance level and if Drys gets back up there, you will have many sellers willing to sell at that price. If that $8.80 low is broken, I will be waiting to see what happens at $7.28 and $5.90. The good thing about the Dry Bulk Shipping stock is that the Baltic Dry Index is starting to really spike higher finally.

Apple AAPL Technical Analysis 1/26/09

The following is technical & fundamental analysis of Apple ( AAPL ) stock for 1/26/09. You can view a stock chart of this analysis at : http://blackberrystocks.com/aapl.html

Apple Support and Resistance Levels:

Resistance - $90, $97.17, $103.60
Support - $85, $80, $78

Apple AAPL reported wonderful earnings last week and is currently trapped between the 10 and 50 day moving averages....$90 is your magic number going forward, a close back over $90 is what I am looking for to get bullish on the stock going forward. $90 was the previous support but since it failed, it is now strong resistance. When traders are willing to hold AAPL over $90, this will be a sign of a trend change. After $90, $97.17 will be another level to watch.

The positive thing about AAPL stock right now is that the Steve Jobs health news is already priced in since the news was released two weeks ago. I believe that the selling going on at $78 area last week was due to the theory Steve Jobs may never be back. If Steve Jobs does come back in June, you could see a $10 upside pop in AAPL shares.

Visa V Technical Analysis January 26, 2009

The following is technical & fundamental analysis for Visa ( V ) stock for 1/26/09. You can see a chart of this analysis by going to http://blackberrystocks.com/visa.html

Visa ( V ) Support and Resistance Levels:

Resistance - $47.50, $50, $52
Support - $43.50, $41.78, $40


Visa ( V ) has totally broken down and broken both low points ( $43.65 and $43.54 ) that formed the double bottom....this is very concerning and is bearish for the stock. Resistance is now at the $47.50 area and if Visa gets a close over this level, $50 will be tested. $50 is another strong resistance level but if closed above you could get buyers flowing back into the stock again. Right now, support appears to be at $42 for Visa. The problem with Visa stock is the company is so tied to the economy. With all the unknowns out there, speculating Analysts have nothing good to say about the current state of the economy and will downgrade a stock like Visa. The stock market typically turns upward six months before the economy starts to show improvement and Visa will be the first to turn with the market. My opinion - If Visa stock dips below $40 I will have to start a long position.
