    March 22, 2011 Mondays rebound fe l l shor t o f som e key t echnic a l levels

    The Dow Industrial Average moved above its 50-day simple moving average at 12,022 and its

    five-week modified moving average at 11,994. Weekly MOJO is now declining and a close thisweek below 11,994 shifts the weekly chart profile to negative from neutral. This would confirmthe February 18th high at 12,391.29 as a cycle high for stocks. The S&P 500, NASDAQ, NASDAQ100 and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) stayed shy of their 50-day and five weekmoving averages. Dow Transports and Russell 2000 matched the Dow Industrials above thesekey technical levels.

    10-Year Note (3.321) Weekly and annual value levels are 3.496 and 3.796 with daily and monthly,risky levels at 3.154 and 3.002.

    A major reason to be bearish is the housing market. US existing Home Sales declined to anannual rate of 4.88 million in February, down 9.6% from January. The inventory of homes for sale roseby 3.5% to 3.488 million. Because of this glut the median home price fell 5.2% year over year to$156,000, back to the levels of April 2002. Sales of homes at risk of foreclosure rose to 39% of allsales in February
