DJIA and Nasdaq 100

Last week on the Wall Street, some economic data releases like Retail Sale and PPI were giving the market a boost, later part of the week economic data were mixed, US unemployment rate is high and consumer sentiment is weak!

The Euro-Zone debt crisis, will it spread over to US?
Will there be a QE3, or QE2.5 coming up?

DJIA

Volume start to pick up on last Friday, while DJIA is trading at the oversold region.

DJIA closed at 12004.36, slightly above 12000.... posting the 1st weekly gain after 6 weeks fall... Technically, DJIA is bearish, with the downtrend intact, current resistance shifted down to 12120. Weekly candle suggest a possible reversal, however, if the market were to reverse and move up, it has to at least break above 12180 and close near 12200.

Current support 11850 shall not be broken, in case market traded below this level, then market will dip to support 11720 and March low 11550.

Early of the week we can short DJIA upon reaching resistance of 12120, stop loss 12150, target 12000. Pay attention to your position during Thursday 12:30am - FOMC, Fed Fun Rate and 2:15am Press Conference.
