Support and Resistance - Offense vs. Defense!

The Defense Won the Day - The Offense is in the Huddle

SPY 2 Day, 10 min. - 12.13.10 - Pullback as Anticipated in Yesterdays Blog.  The Longer Term Trend is Bullish.

SPY 1 Day, 10 min. - 12.13.10 - The Power of the On Balance Volume indicator associated with Price Action is Evident in this Chart.  There was a sideways action for the most part with a significant pull back late in the day.  Tomorrow is another question.  (Personal Opinion)  

There are Hundreds of Indicators available.  It is up to each trader or investor to pick and determine what works for them.  What is presented in this Blog is what I am currently interested in and trying to apply to my personal style of trading and investing.  I do not present this information as a formula for success to anyone else.  PB

What Goes Up Can Come Down!

Gravity Applies to Markets as well as it does to Roller Coasters

SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 12.10.10 - 20 Day Moving Average continues to support more move to the Upside, but the move is getting mature.  Caution makes sense at this juncture.  Indicators remain Bullish but it Pays to be Defensive at Times.  Pullbacks may prove profitable.  US Dollar value needs close attention as the Market stays sensitive to its Price Action.
