Dow Jones Analysis 2/26/09 Stock Market Analysis

The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 2/26/09

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones tested its 52 week low today at 7106 but stopped short bouncing at 7156. From a technical prospective, the Dow Jones has support at the 7106 level and a break below that will continue the leg down not to mention be very bearish. The next support level would be 7036 and 7000, but then there really isn't much resistance until 6300-6500. On the upside, continue to watch 7449, 7500, 7552, if we can get a close above these levels it will be a bullish sign and we could end up testing 8000 again. It's all about the banks right now.

Stock Market Futures

The Nasdaq tried to retest the 10 day moving average but failed late in the day. As of now, pullbacks under 1410 can be bought with a tight stop at 1400. If you are trading QLD, your stop would be at $23.50. The Nasdaq will continue to struggle as long as it is under the 10 day moving average ( 1468 ) and the 50 day moving average ( 1526 ). 1500 will also be a major resistance level. A break below 1400 and the recent low of 1386.68 would be retested. A break below this could send the Nasdaq down to 1315 quickly. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Dow Jones Close 2/25/09 - Stock Market Closing Prices

Stock Market Closing Prices - 2/25/09

Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJIA ) Close - 7270.89 Down 80.05
Nasdaq Stock Market Close - 1425.43 Down 16.40
S&P 500 Close - 764.89 Down 8.25

Libor Rates - 2/25/09

Commodities Closing Prices - 2/25/09

Gold Close - 945.20
Oil Close - 42.55
Natural Gas Close - 4.05

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 7271 on 2/25/09, as the stock market was down big in the morning but roared back going into the final hour of trading. The Dow Jones Futures were down this morning and the bank stocks started the day strong, were weak, and then broke through their highs of the day going into the close. At 3pm, Bank of America ( BAC ) traded at $5.35 up 13% and Citigroup ( C ) was $2.79 Up 7.50%. The banking stock surge combined with Gold prices falling, caused the overall stock market to rally off the lows. Oil also spiked higher today on a bullish oil inventory number. It appears demand for gasoline is starting to increase and this is bullish for oil prices.

I personally think this rally is just a typical bear market rally, we haven't addressed anything new with the banking problem. We only had a few comments by our government hinting at anti nationalization of some banks. The losses aren't going away any time soon. No one really knows how good or bad the situation is. I continue to watch the S&P 500. Support is at 741 and if this level is broken the current leg down will get much worse. Having said that, rallies can last for a long time...it is very bullish that over the past two days, each major dip has been bought. With minutes to go until the close, the Dow Jones went from up 40 to down 75, a 115 point move in about 20 minutes. Obama is speaking about a banking plan lol. On no!! It's time for Government to stop talking and start taking action.
