Coolhand's Market Analysis

A weekly snapshot of current TSP allocations for both the Top 50 and the Total Tracker. I also try to accompany the allocation charts with some measure of technical analysis, normally using the S&P 500.

    We'll, price on the S&P 500 is now approaching the September low. Will that act as support or do the bears have other ideas like testing the 200 dma? Price on the DWCPF closed below its 50 dma today. Volume was a bit elevated. Momentum is hard to the downside.

    Price on the S&P edged a bit further below the 50 dma. It's still not far from that key average and hopefully it won't stay below it for much longer. Price on the

    Friday saw the market make it 2 up days in a row. Momentum is flattening. I'd like to see price on the S&P 500 make a run at the September high and break to the upside from there. I suspect that will eventually happen.
