Sterling Weekly for February 9th, 2009

The overall market as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained approximately 279.73 points or approximately 3.4% last week. The downward trendlines that I discussed in the December 8th edition of the Sterling Weekly are still exerting a strong influence on the market, and as the close of trading on Friday of last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had come up against the upper of these trendlines. The trading activity over the course of the next couple of days will determine whether we finally break through this downward pressure and finally see a market rally that has some legs, or we will see a turn back towards lower levels. My thoughts are that we will know before the end of this week where the market is headed for the next couple of weeks.
