Sector Strength - Saturday, Feb. 2
Saturday, February 2, 2019 7:22 PM EDT
Bonds are still way outperforming stocks, the small caps are under-performing, and the defensive groups are the leaders while the cyclicals lag.

Sector Strength - Sunday, Jan. 27
Sunday, January 27, 2019 5:18 PM EDT
A bit of strength is showing for the mid and small caps which is a good sign, but small cap stocks need to improve much more. Bonds are still highly favored over stocks in general. The alignment is generally negative for the general stock market.

One day last week I posted that it was time to start looking for signs of the next short-term downtrend. However, since thMore later...

Short-Term Trend
Friday, January 25, 2019 8:58 PM EDT
It was bad day in the stock market, but the PMO Index didn't budge. So, it is too early to declare a new short-term downtrend. Besides, the market has been on a good run higher, and was probably ready for some selling.

Some Sector Strength Returns
Sunday, January 20, 2019 2:20 PM EDT
Despite some strength in stocks, the market continues to show a bearish alignment with TLT ahead of the pack, and with the Small Caps and Transports as laggards. If and when the market resumes a longer-term uptrend, these positions will be reversed.

Charts: Short-Term Trends, Longer-Term Outlook
Saturday, January 19, 2019 2:05 PM EDT
The six major indexes are now all above their 50-day averages. That's a show of strength. But even though the market backdrop has a improved a bit, let's not forget about the technical signals that warn us there are problems in the market.

The Longer-Term Outlook
Sunday, January 6, 2019 1:12 PM EDT
Because the news cycle is improving while stocks are dramatically oversold, we have the potential for a decent medium-term rally. And then there is the much improving M2 money supply which should also provide a nice boost to stocks.

No Reason Yet To Get Bullish
Saturday, December 29, 2018 7:41 PM EDT
An uptrend that is going to exceed the short-term requires a number of new 52-week highs, so there is no reason yet to get bullish. But the lack of new lows is certainly important good news.

Long-Term Outlook Negative
Sunday, December 9, 2018 4:24 PM EDT
The long-term outlook is negative and continues to weaken. Just how weak is this market? Are we just in a soft patch or is a big downside move brewing? Here are my best guesses.

The Short-Term Trend Is Strong
Sunday, December 2, 2018 12:19 PM EDT
It's a short-term uptrend. Strong uptrends often are characterized by weak opens, strong closes, such as Friday. However, and this is a big deal, the number of new 52-week lows is elevated, and in addition, they increased from the previous day.

The Bullish Short-Term Trend
Sunday, November 18, 2018 2:13 PM EDT
The short-term trend is difficult to determine during these periods of market stress. Also, the days leading into Thanksgiving are seasonally favorable for stock prices

EC Short Term Trend Is Trapped
Saturday, November 10, 2018 7:38 PM EDT
The short-term uptrend is trapped inside a larger medium-term downtrend. As a result, the short-term uptrend can only reach up so far before it is met with selling. I think this is what happened to the market on Friday.

The Short-Term Trend For Year End
Saturday, November 3, 2018 8:08 PM EDT
The number of new 52-week lows has dropped back down to a level where stock prices do a better job of moving higher, and where it is a bit safer for us to try to take advantage of the uptrend. But watch this chart everyday.

Talk Of A Crash
Saturday, October 27, 2018 6:16 PM EDT
There is some talk of a crash. We've gone from annoying lectures about how normal it is for the market to have significant corrections, to discussions about the signs to look for when the market is about to crash.

The Short-Term Trend Ahead
Saturday, October 20, 2018 8:01 PM EDT
I doubt we'll get much of a short-term rally until after the midterms, and then I expect some market strength through to the end of the year. The only problem with this view? Everybody else thinks the same thing.

New Short-Term Uptrend Ahead?
Sunday, October 14, 2018 1:52 PM EDT
Are we ready for a new short-term uptrend? I'd say we are getting close, and on watch for the signs. My guess is that the market continues to struggle until after the midterm elections.
