Stock Trading Alert originally published on Jan 30, 2014, 6:55 AM:


 

Our intraday outlook is neutral, and our short-term outlook remains neutral:

Intraday (next 24 hours) outlook: neutral
Short-term (next 1-2 weeks) outlook: neutral
Medium-term (next 1-3 months) outlook: neutral

The main U.S. stock market indexes lost between 1.0% and 1.2% as investors reacted to the FOMC's decision concerning further tapering of its asset-purchasing program. The S&P 500 index extended recent decline, testing the support at around 1,775, marked by some of the previous local highs and lows. The market is close to last-year's upward trend line. Will it break below the line? The nearest important resistance remains at 1,800-1,810, marked by recent local highs, as we can see on the daily chart:
