DJIA Down 250 Pts.Then Bounces Back Up

Fears over European banks, tensions between Koreas, and a fear that housing may create a new bottom spurred massive selling in the get go. The Dow droppedmore than 250 points after the opening bell and stayed under 10,000 most of the day, then charged back to finish down only 22 when signals from Washingtonsuggested that banks would not be forced to sell their lucrative derivatives units as part of financial reform. The S&P even managed a slight gain. During thesession, the broad market gauge had fallen as low as 1,040, its lowest level since late November.

But more turbulent days are likely. The market worries that even austerity measures by European governments will not be enough to fix the problem and fight offa prolonged economic slump in Europe, or even another global recession. It seems like the Europeans are playing ‘tag, you’re it’. First it was Greece, and nowit’s maybe Spain, Portugal or Italy. There has to be someone next. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth opened Parliament with a warning of hard times, saying in a speechon behalf of Britain’s new government that there would be budget cuts because “the first priority is to reduce the deficit and restore economic growth.” OtherEuropean countries are imposing budget cuts as well, trying to control their debt. Investors are concerned that these steps will stifle economic growth, and that

The DJIA sank to 9,774.48, its lowest reading this year, and for much of the day threatened to set a new closing low for the year. The average is down more than10 percent in just the past month. I was stunned the way markets recovered drastically. Volatility remains at historic highs but seems to be tickering just slightly.Today a Black Spinning Top was formed. This represents complete indecision between the bulls and the bears. If a Black Spinning Top is observed after a longdecline or a long black candlestick, this implies weakness among the bears and it is a warning about a potential change or interruption in trend. Like most othersingle candlestick patterns, the Black Spinning Top has low reliability. It reflects only one day’s trading and can be interpreted both as a continuation and areversal pattern. This pattern must be used with other candlesticks for a better and healthier confirmation of a trend.

It’s too early to tell if we’re in a reversal trend. We’ll have an up day tomorrow, but I still urge investors to tread with caution. There’s still too many unknownvariables in the markets.
