Dow Jones Analysis 2/6/09 - Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 2/6/09

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - February 6, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8125, 8400, 8500, 8765

Support Levels: 8000, 7845, 7774, 7500

The Dow Jones did the opposite of yesterday, opened lower and bounced back huge, but still failed at the 10 day moving average. We have only closed over the 10 day moving average 1 out of the last 19 trading sessions. When this trend changes we could really rip higher and possibly have something sustainable. Dips under 7900 seem to be a good buy but rallies over 8100 seem to be a good sell. If we get two straight days with a close over the 10 day...I think that 8500 level will get tested.

Nasdaq Analysis 2/6/09 February 6, 2009

The following is Technical Analysis for the Nasdaq ( NAS ) for 2/6/09

Nasdaq Support & Resistance Levels - February 6, 2009

Resistance Levels: 1568, 1600, 1665

Support Levels: 1525, 1500, 1476, 1434

The Nasdaq has another great day, briefly breaking 1500 and then bouncing. The Nasdaq closed over the 10 and 50 day moving averages and I now expect us to retest the resistance area between 1568-1573 - if we clear this, there isn't much resistance until 1600 and 1617. Pullbacks under 1500 look great to buy with a stop at around 1475. AAPL, RIMM, GOOG, AMZN and the QQQQ continue to be very strong. Bottom Line: Tech is performing great while the Dow and S&P lag behind. For more technical analysis - Go Here

Right after the open, Bank of America ( BAC ) stock fell under $4.00 hitting a low of $3.77. The Dow Jones then made a low at 7845 ( 72 points away from the Hogan Bottom ) and began its surge to over 8000. This might be the 5th or 6th time we've bounced after falling under 8000.
