Understanding overall market direction is critical to successful investing. In our Market Section, we discuss key patterns on the indexes and help our customers understand where the market is likely to go in the short and medium terms.

The Mission of SignalWatch
On SignalWatch, we review the major indexes and identify key "action levels". These levels represent a point where the energy in the market is likely to create either a significant reversal or continuation move.
Chart A is the Dow Jones Industrial Average from September 2002 to February 2003. It is very clear that from October to December it would have been prudent to be on the Long side of the market, while December to February made a strong case for being on the Short side.

Our mission is to identify the points where primary market moves are most likely, so we can take positions that are in concert with the primary market direction.

Determining Market Direction
In order to determine which way the market will flow, we analyze the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P Indexes for specific technical patterns:

• Consolidations
• Trend Lines
• Retracements
• Gaps
• Lower Lows
• Higher Highs
• Support Levels
• Resistance Levels

From this analysis and our experience with prior technical market moves, we determine "Fulcrums" on each index. These are essentially the dividing lines between supply and demand in the market.

An Example:
In Chart B to the right is a 15 Minute Chart of the Dow for December 31, 2002. The market formed a clear trading range from 8,250 to 8,365 and also formed a tight consolidation at the highs within the range. From this behavior we determined that an upside break through 8,365 would likely spark a solid rally.

Subsequently in Chart C, the index got the upside break through 8,365 and rallied 265 points on January 2, 2003. The strength continued throughout the next two sessions, pushing the Dow higher to 8,800 – a 435 point move from our noted resistance level of 8,365!

These opportunities are commonplace, and our mission on SignalWatch Market is to illuminate them.
