Fear tends to manifest itself much more quickly than greed, so volatile markets tend to be on the downside. In up markets, volatility tends to gradually decline.
-- Phillip Roth
We saw a usual amount of market volatility on Wednesday with early strength giving way to a near break of key technical levels before a very sharp recovery to end the day. The net result was a nearly flat day, but the bulls probably can be declared the victors with the way they fought back at the close.
The struggle that is taking place is between optimism over all the government plans to reinflate the economy vs. the negative consequences of doing so. We saw two of these negatives yesterday: the bond auction was weak, which indicated that the U.S. may be trying to sell too much debt. (Of course, the Fed addressed this by being a buyer itself, which does at least provide the illusion of support.)
The other negative issue is related, and that is the strength of the dollar and its role as the primary reserve currency. There was some discussion of that by the Chinese and Treasury Secretary Geithner, and that caused some market reaction as well.
A weak dollar and a weak bond auction are the sorts of issues that give rise to inflation, and that is what the bears are going to focus on more than anything, especially if all the liquidity that is being pumped into the market does start to move things a bit.
There certainly are a lot of forces trying to push the economy up in the short term, but the big question is what this volatility we saw on Wednesday means for the short term direction of the market. That crazy action comes after a strong move off the March lows and as we hit some important technical resistance on the major indices.
Volatility is a sign of uncertainty. While we have many who are hoping and believing that the bear market has seen a lasting low and want to add exposure, there are also folks who caught the recent move and are looking to lock in gains as excitement dies down.
Fear of being left out and being underinvested as we wind up the quarter is a major driving force, but on the other side of the equation the government has basically gone "all in" at this point with its various bailouts and stimulus packages and now we are going to start looking for results. We also have first-quarter earnings coming up, which will be a very good test of the mood.
After the swings we had yesterday, trying to predict what will happen today is like playing a slot machine. We have a little early strength but the common pattern lately has to be fade the open and then to ramp up into the close.
The technical area to watch on the upside is 825 for the S&P 500 and 1555 on the Nasdaq. Unless the bulls get more good news to work with and can gain some strong momentum, they will likely have a tough time with those resistance levels. I'm looking for the bears to become more aggressive as we approach those areas.
Fasten your seat belts and strap on the trading goggles. It should be a bumpy ride.
