Last week we looked at the weekly Modern Family charts with Real Motion to identify momentum trends. Real Motion will not change dramatically in 1 week, so…this week I stripped the Modern Family down to line charts to focus on the primary closing levels (black lines), and weekly phases.

Then I drew trends and levels that matter most – the red lines.

 Here are the highlights:

• The only family member that has any bullish trend, or more importantly has broken their 2018 high is SMH. (that’s why I’ve entered that trade for MMMA members).
• 4 of the 6 charts sit at a red line that represents a ‘must hold’ level.

As I explained for MMMA members in the weekly video, this is not bearish unless it breaks. If they break, it gets ugly.

If there is a reversal that follows my ‘close and continue’ pattern, then it’s a bullish opportunity to buy against the low.”

• 3 of the 6 are in wedge patterns that represent compression that will ultimately lead to a volatile move. The direction of this move is not clear in any of them.
• Unfortunately for the bulls…
  The only bullish weekly phase is SMH.
• XRT will likely be in a bearish phase shortly, but that’s the only one.

The conclusion:

The bulls can say SMH is leading.

The bears can say the consumer and XRT are failing, and that’s a prelude of what’s to come.

The rest of the Modern family are in their own long-term patterns that need to resolve themselves one way or another.

One week is not likely to make it clear, but the next move that includes agreement by several of the modern family members will be a decisive move that should be followed.

So keep the weekly perspective in mind, and to get a shorter-term view focus on the daily levels provided below.
