Market Direction today is back following the outlook from the market direction technical indicators outlook from last night. The outlook last night for market direction was for a bounce back in the morning and then more selling. The bounce back this morning in market direction was short but provided enough time for me to put in place a Spy Put Options Trade which ended successfully. For those investors interested in more trade alert type information I suggest twitter as a prime source as although sometimes I am late getting trades posted I try my best to post there as soon as possible.

Market Direction Intraday Chart on the S&P 500
The Intraday market direction chart for the S&P 500 set for 5 minutes shows what is happening.

Since then though the market direction has been a pattern of lower highs and lower lows which investors who ready FullyInformed.com should know by know is a sign of weakness.
Market Direction Outlook Intraday for Apr 04 2013
Don’t be fooled by this market direction though. I would not be trading each of these highs by buying Spy Put Options and then trying to sell on each lower low. This remains a bull market. The Fed is determined that the economy will recover. Those who believe that there is nothing further from the Fed are, I believe very mistaken. Bernanke is a determined individual who despite pumping in trillions of dollars has not seen the inflation or the economic collapse that so many economists predicted. This market direction this afternoon could stay sideways or even try to push higher toward the close and then sell slightly to end the day.
Will all the “sabre rattling” out of North Korea you would think investors would be more jittery but they are not. This tells you that staying cautious is warranted but betting that the market direction will fall apart now is I think premature.
Market Direction Weakness
I believe the market direction will stay weak but I can see scenarios for both the market to try to push back or to fall lower. My outlook is for the market to stall, pull back a bit, reorganize and then try to push higher. This is just a prediction and I have not technical indicators to support this. It is also why I stay with stocks I would own in the event that the market direction surprises me and I end up owning more shares than I thought. I have no intention of taking losses on any of my positions. I will work all my trades lower and where needed apply additional capital into my stocks. I have a lot of confidence in my stocks and I have a lot of cash on the sidelines to go with that confidence.
