Laggard Stocks Now Leading
Sunday, September 15, 2019 12:51 PM EDT
The big news of the past week was the sudden and startling outperformance of laggard stocks along with the sharp drop in the price of the leading stocks. When I say startling I really mean startling.

New Short-Term Uptrend Started
Sunday, September 8, 2019 12:34 PM EDT
A new short-term uptrend started on Sept.4. The medium-term trend also looks like it has turned higher, although it is too early to know for sure. For now, the market, or at least the big institutional stocks, appear to be heading upwards.

Promising Short-Term Trend Falls Apart
Saturday, August 24, 2019 9:59 PM EDT
A new short-term uptrend looked so promising on Thursday, but then on Friday, it fell apart. Bad news, a President's sensitive ego and the weak seasonal period all came together to undermine stocks.

Short-Term Uptrend Ahead?
Saturday, August 17, 2019 5:36 PM EDT
There was endless discussion of the yield curve this week. To those skeptical of the yield curve, I will point out that industrial production has turned lower, and that this is also a good signal of trouble brewing for the economy and stocks.

Short-Term Trend Intensifies
Saturday, August 10, 2019 7:59 PM EDT
The short-term downtrend intensified on Monday which is a signal for me to start looking for signs of the next short-term uptrend. It is counter-intuitive to think that intense selling leads to buying, but I find that is often how it works.

The general market started to show weakness two weeks ago according to this PMO Index, but it took about seven days for the weakness to develop into a real downtrend.

Majority Of Stocks Are Correcting
Saturday, July 27, 2019 8:33 PM EDT
We are supposed to be in a downtrend (or a consolidation) as of a week ago Friday, but the recent market strength makes the weakness late last week look like just a dip.

New Short-Term Downtrend Ahead?
Saturday, July 20, 2019 8:31 PM EDT
It looks like Friday was the start of a new short-term downtrend. Thursday revealed weak market breadth, but on Friday breadth was a lot better until the news from the Strait of Hormuz.

Choppy Behavior, Wobbly Market
Saturday, July 13, 2019 6:48 PM EDT
Last week I thought that the Call/Put ratio was starting to signal that the next short-term downtrend was starting, but it turned back up this week along with the market. Still, this choppy behavior is probably a sign the market is a bit wobbly.

Market Showed Strength
Saturday, June 29, 2019 5:43 PM EDT
With the market showing so much strength on Friday it is tempting to jump in, but this strategy of lightening up at the top of the PMO range, and re-deploying at the bottom of the PMO range works really well over the long-term for me.

On Watch For Short-Term Downtrend
Sunday, June 23, 2019 12:25 PM EDT
We are now on watch for the next short-term downturn. The PMO Index is at the maximum of its range and has been there for a number of days, so we need to look for the signs of market weakness.

We finally got a new short-term uptrend after a very lengthy short-term downtrend. You might say that the uptrend actually started on Tuesday.

Entering Week 8 Of Short-Term Downtrend
Sunday, June 2, 2019 12:53 PM EDT
We are now entering week eight of the short-term downtrend and the trend is just grinding lower and lower with few signs that it is ready to rally. In addition, and this is very important, there are way too many new 52-weeks lows every day.

Short-Term Trend Is Down
Saturday, May 25, 2019 6:41 PM EDT
Although there are plenty of short-term oversold conditions, the market is not showing signs that it is ready to rally. So far, 2019 has given new life to the sell in May strategy.

Saturday, May 18, 2019 5:53 PM EDT
