Stocks Need To Rally Hard Now Or We Have A Top In Place
Today is also the second to last day of the week, which means we are about to see a new weekly candle on the charts.
If the markets do not rally hard into the end of the week, we will end this week without a single sector is in a definitive uptrend. We have two potential uptrends (Consumer Discretionary and Financials), but everything else would be in a confirmed DOWN-trend.
This means NONE of the market would be in a confirmed uptrend and a full 76% of the market would in a DOWN-trend.
| Sector | Symbol | Uptrend? | Weighting |
| Technology | XLK | No | 27.60% |
| Health Care | XLV | No | 13.50% |
| Consumer Discretionary | XLY | Maybe | 12.70% |
| Communication Services | XLC | No | 10.80% |

This is the kind of environment in which real Fireworks can hit. Indeed, the below chart needs no explanation.
