Two Hidden Patterns In Today’s Market Action Revealed
Today was one of those days that you shouldn’t over analyze or draw any strong conclusions from in trying to determine the market’s next major move, but there are some noteworthy patterns developing.
How To Fix Two Reasons Why Trading In The Summer Is So Difficult
While I don’t believe the charts are any tougher in the summer, the news flow, the volume, and the media all do shift into a summer/holiday like mode. Embrace it.
13 Out Of 14 Sectors Followed Their...
Today 13 out of the 14 sectors tracked in our sector summary table traveled in the same direction as their phase. The one sector (IYT, Transportation) that did the opposite only moved .1%.
The Market Is Set Up For A Surprise
Today was an up day in the market, but it was not much more than a quiet consolidation day. In fact, the volume in the SPY was the second lowest of the year.
When Bullish Moves Are Bearish
The market got off to a bullish start to the week today, but if you recall, last Monday was bullish too. Bullish action in the first day of the week is a hard to trust as an indicator for the week, especially during a bull market.
When The Markets Hand You A Lemon
Any time a bull trend is hit with a big range down day it is a test of the strength of the trend, and it creates great risk levels to trade off of which is another way of saying – an opportunity.
Metrics Of The New Normal
Although the SPY regained the 50-day moving average by just a few ticks it still has a classic double top in place. The IWM entered a Warning Phase yesterday and confirmed today.
Will The Market Tell Mr. Trump He’s Fired?
Today’s strong trend down day, and several patterns that market has created suggest that the bulls may be under a lot of pressure now.
The Monday Rule-Of-Thumb Kicks In
Stocks kicked off the week in bullish mood right from the opening bell. It wasn’t a strong trend day, but for the SPY and QQQ it was a new closing high and a close near the high of the day.
What To Expect At Tomorrow’s Monthly Market Surprise Party!
Tomorrow the market will get the monthly employment report. Guessing the direction of the market’s reaction is particularly difficult right now because the markets have basically gone sideways for the last 7 days.
IWM Vs. QQQ
Today, the IWM was trading under its first 30-minute low from 10:30 until the end of the day. Meanwhile the QQQ​ was trading well above its first 30-minute high from about 10:30 until the Fed released its minutes from its most recent FOMC meeting.
TSLA Proves More Isn’t Always Better
A 7% move higher in Tesla pushed it to a market capitalization that is now higher than Ford. This is more impressive when you consider the fact that last year Tesla produced only 76,000 cars while Ford produced 6.6 million.
The Market’s Patience Won’t Last Long
Today the market was patient, but we shouldn’t expect that to be the case if Washington continues to delay or disappoint. When people are in a bad mood, they’re generally not very patient, and the same could be said for the market.
A "Canary In A Coal Mine" Just Died. Stock Market Beware.
In a normal bullish run in the market, the expected future volatility of the market as measured by the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index tends to decline. This is reflected in the cliché, “market fall faster than they rise”.
Have ‘Animal Spirits’ Taken QE’s Place As The New Fuel For The Bulls?
President Trump has summoned up ‘animal spirits’ which seem to be taking more and more credit (or blame depending on your market bias), for the bull market. Here’s one way to keep your eye on them, so they don’t catch you by surprise.
The Market Has Already Started Resting For Its Next Big Move
For the areas of the market beginning to pause now, this will set up plenty of time for consolidation leading into Wednesday. And consolidation creates a good condition for a big reaction to the press conference.
