Pinnacle Resources LP Reports its Technical & Quantitative Model Results for the DIA, SPY, QQQ

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 15, 2003 -- Pinnacle Resources LP reports its technical & quantitative model results for the DJIA (AMEX: DIA), S & P 500 (AMEX: SPY), NASDAQ-100 (AMEX: QQQ).

The markets gapped higher at the open, ran to Thursdays 52-week high price, then tested the support at Fridays high price, and finally rallied into the close of index trading. The DIA and QQQ closed near the high of the session on light volume leaving the short-term and intermediate term models with increased long positions. The candlesticks on the hourly and daily charts still reflect a rejection of the downside move during the last two weeks of September. Further, a case can still be made for an island reversal pattern on the daily SPX/SPY and DJIA/DIA charts lending further support to the price rally. As the markets continue to float higher, the charts seem reflect a lack of conviction by market players toward this rally.

As it stands now, the overall up trend is still intact. We have maintained our short-term near the money put option position due to the lack of conviction in the market, even though prices closed at 52-week highs. The markets now appear to be in the process of moving higher in the third wave of a five wave up trend that could take prices sharply higher if the previous 52-week high price can be exceeded on a closing basis from this point forward. As prices move further away from the island gap below the market, the possibility of another gap higher becomes more likely. The market appears to be waiting for a catalyst to move prices on heavy volume. That catalyst may come this week.

Resistance for the DIA, SPY, QQQ and the Indexes is now located at Mondays high price, followed by more solid resistance 2 to 3% above Mondays closing prices. Support for the DIA, SPY, QQQ is located at Fridays high price near SHORT-TERM TREND LEVELS and then again at the LONG TERM TREND LEVELS. For the indexes, support lies at Fridays high price, followed by their respective SHORT-TERM TREND, STOP-LOSS, and LONG TERM TREND LEVELS.

The firms proprietary quantitative and technical intermediate term trading model continues to generate a long position for these indexes based on their recent price patterns. The firms proprietary quantitative trading model generates a long position when it detects a positive trend in the historical price data series. While the model remains long, the possibility of a trend reversal is not out of the question.
