Anyone notice the change.

The market has shown strength the last three sessions...in late afternoon trading. Although the market dropped 90 plus points on Thursday, it continued a trend to move upward in afternoon trading.

Although the market dropped 90+ on Thursday, it's still higher than it was on the close last Friday.

In previous weeks, the market had shown strength many times in early morning trading only to frizzle later in the day.

Are we seeing some bargain trading later in the day? Now who would be doing this...the noted smart money or the dumb money. However you look at it, it is happening.

I have no idea what the market will do in the upcoming months. However, I still feel compelled to see it hit 10800 this year and possibly touch 11000.

By the way, I am in the process of setting up my own blog site on the web. We will be adding items to it as we progress. The link if you're interested is:

Mo,

I visited your blog. Looks to be off to a good start.

Regarding the afternoon rallies, the DOW really doesn't seem to want to go down. But today the percentage of NYSE issues trading above their 50 SMA's fell from around 73% to about 61%. Pretty sharp drop. The "broader market" remains weak.

That said, a similar drop in the same indicator occurred last week and the market shrugged off the weakness. Even so, these types of events are not commonly followed by near term market strength. A correction is above neutral probability. However, the rally could continue anyway.

Also about the rallies. I've been noticing all week that the selling seems to be brief but high volume while the the buying seems to occur over long drawn out periods on low volume. What do you think that means?
