BigTrends.com Weekly Market Outlook Although stocks were never significantly into profitable territory at any point last week, at the very least on Thursday it looked like we might stabilize with just a very minor loss. The bears had other plans on Friday, however, sending the market 1.85% lower that day to the lowest close in nearly two weeks. And yet, it's...
BigTrends.com Weekly Market Outlook It took a while to get started… the first four days of last week, to be precise. But, once the bulls got rolling on Friday, they didn't look back. Thanks to that day's 2.5% advance from the S&P 500 (SPX) (SPY), the index finished the week 1.7% higher, and perhaps more importantly, finished the week above...
Weekly Market Outlook – January 24th, 2016 After a scary start to the shortened trading week, Wednesday's intraday turnaround followed-through quite nicely all the way to the end of Friday's trading.

Weekly Market Outlook – January 17th, 2016 Despite a couple of valiant efforts from the bulls, there was just nothing that could stop the raging bear last week.

Weekly Market Outlook – January 11th, 2016 From a momentum perspective, the bears were clearly in charge as of the end of last week. On the other hand, the sheer size and scope of the setback opens the door to a possible bounce… a volatile mode the market has been in for over a year. Only time will really tell...
Weekly Market Outlook – January 3rd, 2016 When push came to shove as the end of the shortened trading week (and last week of the year), the bears were doing most of the shoving. Namely, thanks to Friday's last-minute selling, the S&P 500 (SPX) (SPY) finished the week down 0.8%. That translates into a small loss of 0.7% for all of...
Weekly Market Outlook – December 28th, 2015 It wasn't a full trading week, but the bulls were able to pack a lot of buying into just three and a half days of trading last week. All told, the S&P 500 (SPX) (SPY) advanced 2.7% last week, reversing a sharp pullback that looked like was going to turn into something bigger two...
BigTrends.com Weekly Market Outlook Talk about a 180-degree turnaround! Traders were bullish leading up to last Wednesday's big news, and remained a little bullish for the last part of that session. With a night to sleep on it though, they changed their minds. Thursday as bearish and Friday was even more so, turning what started out as a great rebound effort...
Weekly Market Outlook Despite ending the first week of December on a bullish foot, the bears started – and finished – last week in charge of things… to say the least. Last week's -3.8% pullback was the biggest weekly loss for the S&P 500 (SPX) (SPY) since the heart of the August meltdown. Perhaps worse, the pullback broke some key support levels,...
