S&P 500 Composite (SPX, 1,279.20) rose 5.48 points or 0.43% on Friday. SPX has retraced less than one-third of its 7.07% intraday decline from its 1,344.07 peak set on 2/18/11. Charles Dow and his followers considered one-third to two-thirds countertrend retracements to be normal within a trend. On Wednesday, 3/16/11, SPX broke down below 12-week lows, confirmed by the great majority of indexes and indicators. SPX and the other major indexes remain below 50-day simple moving averages. The intermediate-term trend appears to have been seriously damaged.
Consumer Discretionary SPDR stock sector ETF Relative Strength Ratio (XLY/SPY) fell below 5-week lows and below its 50-day SMA on 3/18/11. It is now neutral.
Technology SPDR stock sector ETF Relative Strength Ratio (XLK/SPY) fell below 6-month lows on 3/18/11. The 50-day SMA of the RS Ratio is heading toward a cross below the 200-day SMA in days ahead, which will be a bearish signal.
NASDAQ Composite/S&P 500 Relative Strength Ratio fell below 5-month lows on 3/18/11. The ratio is below both its 50-day SMA and 200-day SMA. The trend since the peak on 1/18/11 is clearly bearish.
Crude Oil price rose above 5-day highs, intraday, but reversed to close lower on 3/18/11. The short-term trend is now in doubt.
Gold and Silver rose above 2-day highs early in the morning on 3/18/11 but gave up much of that gain as the day wore on. Both still may remain in consolidation patterns.
The U.S. dollar broke down below its recent low of 76.145, which was a critical level. Once again, USD has reconfirmed its preexisting intermediate-term downtrend.

The S&P Mid Cap 400/Large Cap Relative Strength Ratio (MDY/SPY) rose above all-time highs on 3/16/11, thereby reconfirming its preexisting bullish major trend. The ratio turned bullish from neutral on 2/7/11, based on the relationships of the ratio itself, its 50-day SMA, and its 200-day SMA.
Crude Oil nearest futures contract price rose above 5-day highs, intraday, but reversed to close lower on 3/18/11. The short-term trend is now in doubt.

U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected / U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Relative Strength Ratio (TIP/IEF) has been in a rising trend since making a low on 8/24/10, even as absolute price of TIP has declined. A rising Relative Strength Ratio implies that fixed-income investors have been selling inflation protected TIPs at a relatively more subdued pace since 8/24/10, compared to the more severe price drop of the 7-10 Year U.S. Treasury Note ETF (IEF).
The U.S. dollar nearest futures contract price broke down below its recent low of 76.145, which was a critical level. Once again, USD has reconfirmed its preexisting intermediate-term downtrend. Long term, USD fell below 11-month lows on 11/3/10, confirming a major downtrend. Support 75.235, 74.27, and 70.80. Resistance 77.675, 78.98, 79.34, 81.635, 81.935, 82.02, 83.64, 84.73, 85.36, 86.71, 88.80, 89.22, 89.71, and 92.53.
Advisory Service Sentiment: There were 52.2% Bulls versus 22.3% Bears as of 3/16/11, according to the weekly Investors Intelligence survey of stock market newsletter advisors. The Bull/Bear ratio fell to 2.34, down from 2.47 the previous week and down from 3.00 on 1/12/11. These numbers do not fully reflect probable change in sentiment since the tsunami severely damaged the nuclear power plant in Japan. The 20-year range is 0.41 to 3.74, the median is 1.56, and the mean is 1.63.
VIX Fear Index broke out above its 6 months trading range in the 16-24 zone to an intraday peak of 31.28 on 3/16/11, indicating an upsurge in fear among options players. VIX is a market estimate of expected constant 30-day volatility, calculated by weighting S&P 500 Index CBOE option bid/ask quotes spanning a wide range of strike prices for the two nearest expiration dates.
The Dow Theory reconfirmed a Primary Tide Bull Market as of 2/17/11, when both the Dow-Jones Industrial Average and the Dow-Jones Transportation Average closed above closing price highs of the previous 2-years. The Dow Theory originally signaled the current Primary Tide Bull Market on 7/23/09, when both the Dow-Jones Industrial Average and the Dow-Jones Transportation Average closed above their closing price highs of the previous 6 months. While other Dow Theorists were fooled by the big downside Secondary Reaction in May and June 2010 and called a “Bear Market”, my interpretation of the Dow Theory has been steadily Bullish on the Primary Tide Trend every day since 7/23/09.
On 3/16/11, both the Dow-Jones Industrial Average and the Dow-Jones Transportation Average fell below their closing price lows of the previous 10 weeks. This bearish confirmation raises the possibility of a more severe Secondary Reaction downside correction that could stretch out further in time and extend further downward in price.
S&P 500 Composite (SPX, 1,279.20) rose 5.48 points or 0.43% on Friday. SPX has retraced less than one-third of its 7.07% intraday decline from its 1,344.07 peak set on 2/18/11. Charles Dow and his followers considered one-third to two-thirds countertrend retracements to be normal within a trend. On Wednesday, 3/16/11, SPX broke down below 12-week lows, confirmed by the great majority of indexes and indicators. SPX and the other major indexes remain below 50-day simple moving averages. The intermediate-term trend appears to have been seriously damaged.
