Post FED gains vanished


Hello,

post FED gains vanished during last week.

Stock market indexes declined and slightly retraced from important resistance levels
Richard Koza

Situation is neutral from my point of view. It is not "buy" but also not "sell".

I used important  resistance levels as good place for initiating small shorts in SP500 index. If it will be correct and markets will starts new leg down, I will add into these trades.

The problem I see on markets , especially on NYSE , is low volume level. Nasdaq volume  is little better.

It was also Nasdaq-100 index which pushed all stocks up during last few weeks. On this index is also leading global index right now. So I am  looking also into this index to possible long candidates .

There is also good development in currency ETF and Commodity ETF area. I am still bear for gold, so GLD is still short play for me. And in currencies like British pound (FXB) and also EUR (FXE) look bearish.

How do you play current market ? Are you trade Oil and commodity stocks ? Or are you on sidelines ? What are your favorites ? Let me know. I will be pleased to read also your opinion and we can discuss charts of your stock picks in my blog.

Happy trading,

Richard
