Nickel Price Graph

No idea if this chart could be read the same as reading stock charts or if this is the right chart at all but I am going to post it anyway:



IF it can be read the same way as any other stock charts, price breaking out of reversed head and shoulder would suggest a target of 28500.

That would be good for NIKL right? Just keeping my hopes up! Anyway, it is definitely trending up. Still good for NIKL right? Right?! Haha

**European markets are up by almost 1% as of this writing. Asian markets closed slightly higher. Hopefully the market recovers tomorrow(despite of the fugly chart).

Foreign Activity

I was browsing the quotation report for today and I only found 4 stocks with significant foreign buying:

PNB with 7M down today
AMC 8.9M unchanged
EDC 15.5M down today
PLDT 47M down today

While 2 issues got heavily battered with foreign selling:

BDO 112M NFS out of 180M worth of trades
FLI 97M NFS out of 130M worth of trades

Net foreign selling amounted to more than 700M today. How much they pulled out of the market, I lost track and I really didn't monitor the overall market's foreign activity, just on specific issues.

Free falling

The GDP report hardly gave the market a push, opening with a high of +15 points before sliding down, completely losing 50.98 point at the closing. If the market drops another 50 points tomorrow, 3800 levels with definitely be taken out. When that happens, I think it would be much safer to liquidate all positions and wait until the market falls to 3600 levels before bottom fishing. The only consolation for us is the turnover during the slide today is lower than the previous days.

Blue chips are simply free falling today. There's hardly significant gainers for today except for TA +5% with 27M worth of trades.

NIKL is break-even with doubled up position from the starting position.

LC is hanging by a thread. We'll see tomorrow how this one will go.

SCC looks very ugly with the bearish engulfing candle today. I also feel like the ascending triangle formation is already invalid but it seem like it is now forming a symmetrical triangle. The accompanying volume doesn't seem to fit the pattern though.

SMC gap is almost filled so another round might be just around the corner.

Still waiting for AGI to drop further.

AP is getting ready to break down.

I put up a small position in MER today. Hoping for a stronger cat to bounce. Macquarie just seems to be on a selling spree.

GDP for 2010

Hopefully the 7.1% GDP growth of the fourth quarter last year is enough to produce a technical bounce today.
