Late day Market Reversal

Don’t look now friends but the market staged a late day reversal in the face of very good earnings reports today.  As evidenced in the article by Midnight Trader the market turned from up all day to a large drop in the last hour.

S&P 500 avg 10-21-09

If you look at the chart, the S&P 500 is still in an uptrend but we are up 20% in the last 3 months and 10% in the last month.  The MACD is getting ready to cross down and the RSI is coming down from an overbought position.

I think we are at least looking at a pullback over the next week to get back to normal, but where we go after that is unknown.  This should be a short term pullback to the 50 day moving average, but given the extreme run up we could see a larger pullback.  Brett Steenbarger at TraderFeed is seeing some reversal formations forming in several stocks also.

Happy Trading!
