Too bad, the market got no excuse is pointing downward

21 Jan 2009

The market really pointing downward as the selling is too heavy on banking sectors all over the world. I think this time needs more time to recover. There is no support in this moment because the Dow is heading last support 7950. I think it will go back to 7700 direction.

Even the Obrama release the stimulus plan. With the earning release. The market may be getting worse.

If u are a smart person better step aside and see. Alert for any opportunity especially in currency. If you have oil, of course stick to the market movement

The crude oil really close over 40 after contract settlement. Now it is time to see what excuse will be use to stimulate it in this month.

Basically I do believe, after the uptrend, the next month low will be near 30. So the buying process can be delay a bit
