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.

    Price on the S&P was only up modestly. It is pushing against resistance and there's still more above today's close. Price on the DWCPF actually pushed past and closed above its 50 dma. That's a big deal, but it's only one day and there is more resistance above. Momentum is rising on both charts, but strength isn't exactly robust.

    So far, resistance is holding on both charts. Momentum, which was rising, stalled. It doesn't mean a whole lot just yet other than the bulls have some work to do to push price through those resistance areas.

    Price on the S&P closed in an area of resistance. There is more resistance above, but how stiff I cannot say. Price on the DWCPF poked above the 50 dma, but closed under it once more. As long as price has been under that key average, getting above it may not be an easy task for the bulls. But we're about

    Both the S&P and DWCPF posted good gains. Price remained above the 50 dma on the S&P, but has yet to retest resistance at that level on the DWCPF. Momentum is trying to turn up, but it's been a struggle. RSI is near neutral on both charts.

    Price on the S&P tested its 50 dma again and bounced back to close over that key average. Price on the DWCPF fell as well and remains within its trading range (the lower part of it), but
