April 16, 2014 Stocks straddle key levels under the power of the pivot.

Dow Industrials ended Tuesday above its semiannual pivot at 16245. The S&P 500 is between its semiannual pivot at 1764.4 and its quarterly pivot at 1853.5. The Nasdaq traded above its quarterly pivot at 4039 but closed just below it after nearly testing its semiannual value levels at 3930 and 3920. Dow Transports closed its quarterly pivot at 7407 after trading between its semiannual pivots at 7376 and 7245. The Russell 2000 stayed below its semiannual pivots at 1130.79 and 1133.29. The Nasdaq traded to a new 2014 low at 3946 holding its 200-day simple moving average and stayed above semiannual value levels at 3930 and 3920. The Russell 2000 traded below its 200-day SMA at 1106.74 but closed above it. All five major averages ended last week below their five-week modified moving averages at 16210 Dow Industrials, 1843.1 S&P 500, 4163 Nasdaq, 7433 Dow Transports and 1154.55 Russell 2000. The next confirmation of a significant market top comes given weekly closes below semiannual pivots and value levels at 1764.4 S&P 500, 3920 Nasdaq and 7245 Dow Transports. To pull the market out of this potential Dow Industrials needs to close back above its semiannual pivot at 16245 with the Russell 2000 above its semiannual pivot at 1133.29. My market call for 2014 has been that all five major averages would trade down to at least their 200day simple moving averages now at 15759 Dow Industrials, 1763.6 S&P 500, 3942 Nasdaq, 6982 Dow Transports and 1106.68, which was tested on Monday and Tuesday.
