Measuring How High The Indices Can Go

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 18th of November.

Over the weekend I took some time and looked at the DOW, NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 indices. I wanted to measure just how high these indices could potentially go. All three indices have been on a tear this year, with the DOW making 57 new highs this year alone. On average, that is a new high every four days, which is pretty remarkable.

Now please remember that these are estimates based on technical analysis, they are not written guarantees carved in stone. As with any trade or investment strategy, you need to have an exit plan (money management) in case events change, whether over time or abruptly.

Just like any analyst, unforeseen events can change my analysis on the market. However, if my predictions remain correct, please do congratulate me and tell all of your friends (just joking on this one!).

Let's get started looking at the three indices and measuring the potential up-moves in all three major markets.

I would love to hear what your take is on the major indices and what you think can happen to the markets. How high, how low, agree, or disagree, let us hear your voice. It is always great to chat with other traders and hear their thoughts even, if they differ from my own.

Every Success,
Adam Hewison

Weekly Gold Report (November 18th through November 22nd)

Welcome to another week that have the US FED in the drivers seat from beginning to end. I would love to take time to forecast a few economic figures released this week in Europe and the United States, but there is little reason to do so.

Last week we heard from Janet Yellen regarding the FED and the economy, and her dovish rhetoric stole the show. Traders and investors began buying equities the day prior to her speech and that continued during and after she made it clear that her stance was one that would be supportive of further easing.

6 Trader Strategies You'll Be Thankful For This Holiday Season

The market continues to trend up while we're just weeks away from the holiday rush. In 2013 we’ve seen a market that's treated many of us quite well and given us plenty to be thankful for. Many of you rode Telsa to the bank, got on board the Yahoo bandwagon, or enjoyed watching Netflix for reasons other than movie marathons.

In hindsight the year was incredible, but it didn’t always feel that way. With eleven months behind us, we approach the home stretch and there are still many uncertainties keeping traders up at night. Continue reading "6 Trader Strategies You'll Be Thankful For This Holiday Season"
