THE TECHNICAL PICTURE


DJIA: Resistance at 11250, support at 10925.


DJTI: Resistance at 4250, support at 4225.


SP500: Resistance at 1300, support at 1275.


NASDAQ: Resistance at 2325, support at 2280.


HUI: Resistance at 330, support at 295.


USD: Support  at 89.5-88.75, resistance  at 91.25.

Oil: Support at  $62.5,  and resistance at $65/67.5. Notice the gaps; if these gaps turn out to be "break-away" gaps, we will see oil at $70 within two weeks.


Utilities: Support at 405, resistance at 417 and at 425.

The Thrust Oscillator is rising which means that the current advance may have another 1%-2% to go on the upside. However, the steep negative divergence suggests that when the current advance is over, we can expect a decline in excess of 3%, and it could be as much as 7%.

The  10/20 day TIs  indicate that the trend is UP for NASDAQ and for the SP500.

Summary

In the report for week of 11-25-05 we had said, "We got to look for the advance to continue until price reaches   the 1285-1290 zone for the SP, and in 2280-2300 zone for NASDAQ.  At those levels, we ought to get a sharp and short reaction back to support." (see report112505, and also see report121605)

In addition, the technical setup appears to be almost identical to the one that accompanied the rally that started in July of 2005. Consequently, we believe that the rally may  have another 1%-2% to go on the upside. However, when the current advance is over, we can expect a decline in excess of 3%, and it could be as much as 7%. Notice the similarities between the current rally and the one that started under similar technical circumstances in mid-July of 2005.
