Sterling Weekly for the Week of December 28th, 2009
Moving Sideways with a New Trading Channel.

Since the previous edition of the Sterling Weekly, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 48.60 points, or approximately 0.005%, to finish at 10,520.10 A recent theme to the Sterling Weekly has been where is the market going from here? I tend to believe the market is essentially going to be moving sideways for the time being. I have been publishing off and on the chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average showing the trendlines as they have evolved that have been in place for approximately the last 16 months. As the chart below shows, it looks like sometime in November the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke below its lower trendline as been more or less tracking sideways since.

Dow Jones Industrial Average December 21st, 2009

Since mid November it looks as if the Dow Jones Industrial Average has started a new trading channel as indicated by the trendlines on the chart below which the Dow has stayed within since then.

Dow Jones Industrial Average 12-24-09

What does this mean for the market?? Well, for starters further upward gains may be much tougher to come by. Secondly there is an increased chance for a market pullback. Personally, I am looking for the market to track sideways until the start of the 1st full week of January. Then we shall see what happens.
