Dow Jones & Financial Sector updates (22 March 2011)

Dow made a huge run of 178pts back to resistance at break-even point of pre-quake level yesterday. A push towards to the blue spot would see many short-sellers covering their positions. This would probably trigger a spike up of the Dow Jones index.

One point to note was that the financial sector failed to rally and thus did not follow-through with this 178pts gain. We will do an analysis of the financial sector on this page as well.




Citigroup (C) made an announcement that the company would do a 10-1 reverse split of their shares. The market react badly to the news as a reverse split of the shares would screw the value of current shareholders. A reverse split is often seen as a cosmetic enhancements made to the value of the company without any changes to the market cap of the company. At its current closing price of $4.43, Citi's stock price after its 10-1 reverse split would be at $44.30. Citi dropped on huge volume after initially testing the Kijun line of the Ichimoko Clouds system. Citi would be a good buy for me after its share price stablises after its reverse split.






Bank of America (BAC) and Goldman Sachs (GS) both are currently in the midst of forming a bearish triangle and in range trading mode. If the stock price made a move up or down the triangle on huge volume hitting either the blue or red circle level, then it would be the signal for traders to make a move towards the intended direction of teh breakout.
