Tabell’s Market Letter – July 29, 1946

Technical Market Action Since reaching l'.I! intra-day 10Vi of 194.33 e(l.rly last \7eek, the market h('5 rnllied to a hi.Gh of 199.11 on Monday. Directly overheac is the heavy resistance area. of 199 to 203. It will he interesting to note hot the markE,!; acts as this area is entered. Norr.1Il1 expectation pould be D. backing anay from the CiverheD.d resistllllce area and a testing of the lows of lo.st week. Last week's lows were just off the first support area of 194-191t. Consider the near term picture too uncert,'lin to rGcommend trc.ding purchases at this time. Regardless of whether the lows of last \'leek e.re to be the 1017S of the intermediute decline or whether onG of t11G t,iO 10weF support levels mentioned in last week's letter ni11 be rec.ched, still feel that eventually hi6her prices are indicated for the longer term. Believe that any further decline in the nvero.r;es will be selective and that SOIne individual issues and croups r.\ay alrec.dy have reached their lows. One group that seems. to already bo very near to its indicated down- side objective is the airline group. In most lnstQnces, the i.ssues in this co.tegory made their hiShs in late 1945 and have bew ir, c. declininr, pht.se since thct The four issues listed be10Y!
