Happy 4th of July weekend!

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said,

"For the new week, the markets look to open on the downside. SPX's initial support is at 2080. Below 2080, there is support between 2060-2040."

The trading went along with the forecast. On Monday, stocks fell heavily. By noon, SPX was down below 2080. The selling didn't stop until the market close on Monday, where SPX closed just below 2060. On Tuesday, buyers came back. On Thursday morning, SPX re-tested 2080, but, closed below that mark before the long weekend for 4th of July.

We traded very well last week, with my Ecstatic Plays portfolio still at near the new all-time high. We kept mostly cash and traded less, but, on both sides. Here are the closed trades for the week:

As a new week starts, tonight, the big news is once again "Greece"! On Sunday, the Greek voters voted "No" in the bailout referendum, which rejected further austerity in the bailout proposal put forth by the creditors. At the time of composing this article, Asian markets were down, with Hong Kong down over 3% and Japan down about 2.5$. Shanghai is "up" about 2%, as the Chinese government released support measures to try to prevent further market slide.

For the week, the Dow was down 216.57 points; SPX fell 24.71 points; Nasdaq fell 71.3 points. Oil (WTI) fell to about $55/barrel, while gold traded slightly lower, but, stayed above $1160/ounce. Here are where the US markets stood after Friday's close:

SPX

On Friday, SPX slid 0.64 points to close at 2076.78. The daily MAs turned lower.

Nasadq

Nasdaq fell 3.91 points to close at 5009.21. It also closed below its daily MAs.

Both SPX and Nasdaq closed below their respective daily MAs, and the MAs turned down. For the new week, the markets are looking to pull back further. It does look like the problems in Greece are going to drag on longer than what the EU had hoped. Since SPX closed below 2080, SPX's immediate support now is between 2060-2040. Below that, the next support is at around 2025.

In light of this type of global news, we will, of course, keep our attention on the financials. Besides those, tech stocks have been very strong. On the flip side of that coin, they could have more to fall. We'll need to see if they can hold up.

Market Watch

FAS (financial)

FAS held up quite well by the end of the week last week, just below its daily MAs. It should quickly test the support level at $31. Below that there is support between $30-$29. The big banks (GS, JPM, WFC, BAC) are all weak. Regional banks such as PNC and STI are weak as well. V and MA are starting to show weakness.

FDN (internet)

FDN also closed just below its daily MAs. This could quickly fall to $65 before finding strong support. Among the leaders in this group, FB and AMZN look the strongest. NFLX is barely holding on. GOOG and PCLN are quite weak. TRIP could suffer quite a bit of pullback in a weak environment.

BTK (biotech)

Even BTK closed below its daily MAs! AMGN and GILD are both weak. CELG look quite strong after investment in JUNO. BIIB is holding on. Look for JAZZ to pull back more. CLVS could fall back quite a bit as well.

IGV (software)

IGV is looking very week. A pull-back could quickly take it down to $96 or $95. CRM is sharing that similar development. RHT could fall further as well. INTU is really weak! CYBR is among the weakest is online security.

As I'm finishing this article, China has now turned red. Hong Kong is down almost 5%. Japan is holding at 2.25%.

Good night and HappyTrading! ™
