Tuesday, June 16, 2009 15:55

Technical indicators are beginning to turn negative for the first time since the beginning of the March rally. The S&P 500 index  violated its 3-month uptrend while the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed below its 200-day-moving-average. Momentum indicators have turned bearish.

The Dow Jones (Chart below) is still holding on to its uptrend line though RSI and MACD suggest further weakness.

The VIX is a fear indicator. A declining VIX is good for stocks while a rising VIX coincides with a selloff in equities. The VIX has been on a steady decline since February and may be close to breaking out (bad for stocks). A move above 34 would confirm it.1vix
