The First Market Analysis for 2012; January Barometer will be bullish! - Market Analysis for January 3rd 2012 by Singaporeseeds

Daily chart for S&P


Daily chart for Dow


Daily chart for NASDAQ


Market analysis from last week:
“The past week had been one of the most bullish for the past few months. This is just the start of the huge bullish divergence pattern that appeared on the charts a few weeks ago. This should bring the S&P up to around 1,350 over the next 2-4 weeks. This will be around 12,750 for the Dow.”

Market analysis for this week:

What a year!
We started 2011 at around 1256 on S&P and after rallying to 1373 and then dropping to 1070, it ended the year almost unchanged at 1253. This is against the backdrop of the European crisis and the softening economy of China.
We ended the year right at the 200 day moving average on the S&P.
With the market opening today, everyone will be looking at the January Barometer to determine the direction of the market for the year. Volume will still be light for the rest of the month.
I believe that we are at the beginning of a huge rally that will last for the next 3-4 years. We might dip one or two more times but the S&P should not dip more than 1200.
First target at 1350 and then 1553 for the year 2012.

Daily chart for the Dollar


Market analysis from last week:
“Longer term weekly chart is showing that the dollar will continue to go up, but on daily, it shows down. We might see some weakness in the dollar over the next 2 weeks. First target at 22, second at 21.70.”

Market analysis for this week:
The dollar is showing a topping pattern on daily charts. On weekly charts, it may continue to hold up for another week or two, but not more. Target is still the same at 22 and 21.70 on UUP.

Daily chart for Gold


Quote from my last market analysis:
“Gold is still consolidating after the huge movement. It may trend down to 145 on GLD over the next few weeks. It should move in a range between 145 and 158.50 for the next 1-2 months.”

Market analysis for this week:
After the big drop in December 2011, gold should bounce. There’s a bullish divergence pattern over the last 2 weeks. This should bring gold up to around 157 and then 165 over the next 2 weeks. However the longer therm trend is still down.

Daily chart for Crude Oil


Market analysis from last week:
“Crude oil is more bullish than ever, having bounced off it’s 50 and then 200 day moving average in the past week. I believe we should see a dip next week with support at around 37.50 on USO before breaking resistance at 39.50.
Final target will be around 45.20 in 3 month’s time. This will be around 113 on crude oil futures. Expect gasoline prices to increase.”

Market analysis for this week:
Market analysis for crude oil is still the same.
