Thursday night I gave a talk at a bookstore in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  At every talk I have given, the Q & A lasts longer than the actual presentation. Why?

Because most of the older folks who come to hear me speak about my book, are completely in the dark about their retirement accounts.The younger folks (not nearly as many as there should be) are completely in the dark about how to time their way in and out of their investments.

That’s where a navigation system comes in handy. Having a compass, so to speak, prevents you from remaining in the dark. I write and talk a lot about the six phases.

For the Daily, I stick mainly to the phases of the Economic Modern Family. When one of the Family improves in phase, we know where money is rotating into. When the whole Family trends together, that is the best time to invest. When they trade in disparity, that is a good time to lay low.

This week, we still see disparity, but we also saw money rotate into three of the six members.

The most notable mover on Friday was Regional Banks KRE. With the better than expected GDP number (2.1%), the anticipation that the Federal Reserve may not lower rates, or if they do, by only ¼%, helped this sector.

As I used this sector to determine whether the move in the stronger sectors would terminate, we can clearly see that KRE did its job to keep the other sectors in the game.

Since this is a weekly chart, we do want to see a second week close above the 50-WMA at 54.63.

The Russell 2000 IWM also moved further away from the 50-WMA at 154.09. That puts the high from the week of July 5th or 158.03 in focus if the strength continues.

We must also take note that both KRE and IWM moved up, yet are still way below the SPY and QQQ, both of which made new all-time highs.

The other sector to look at is Transportation IYT. It had an inside week and the slope of the underlying 50-WMA remains negative. However, it held onto recent gains.

As far as the remaining three sectors, Biotechnology IBB is still in a bearish phase.

Retail XRT, may still see some money rotate into as the biggest reason for the gain in GDP was because of consumer spending.

XRT has yet to clear 43.15. It also trades below the 80-month moving average. Those are the points I will be watching.

Semiconductors SMH, having already done its job, took a rest.

No doubt, having 4 of the 6 sectors in bullish weekly phases is positive. Will the other 2 sectors catch up or drag the other 4 down?

How can we know what’s happening in the market? Watch the phases in all six Modern Family members.

S&P 500 (SPY) 302.23 the ATH. 300.00 pivotal. Under 299.50 some trouble.

Nasdaq (QQQ) New ATH at 195.55. 193.40 now the pivotal support

KRE (Regional Banks) 56.75 next point of resistance with 54.62 key support

SMH (Semiconductors) ATH at 123.56. 120.71 now pivotal support. If breaks see 118.10 next

IYT (Transportation) 195.28-190.94 the range we will watch to see which way it breaks.

IBB (Biotechnology) 105.42 the 50-DMA pivotal

XRT (Retail) 43.12 is my number to clear.
