Quite A Bit Of Buying
There was quite a bit of buying into the broader market this past week. This doesn't convince me to be a buyer, however, because I think the better buy signal will probably be when the A/D momentum indicator bottoms out and turns upwards.
Leading Stocks Push To New Highs Despite Short-Term Downtrend
The majority of stocks appear to be in a short-term downtrend or sideways consolidation, but the leading stocks have continued to push to new highs.
Start Of A New Downtrend? Unsure
It is confusing to see the SPY and QQQ reaching new all-time highs while the majority of stocks are struggling short term. It shows how the large caps can mask the trend of the larger market.
The Short-Term Uptrend Is On The Ropes
The short-term uptrend has continued, although it's on the ropes. The PMO index ticked below the top of its range, and the momentum of the A/D line looks ready to cross into a sell signal. Both are hints that momentum and breadth are near a peak.
The Short-Term Uptrend Has Continued
The short-term uptrend has continued. The PMO index has risen nicely off its lows, showing that most stocks have transitioned to momentum buys over the last 7 or 8 trading sessions.
Short-Term Uptrend Began In A Choppy Market
It looks like a short-term uptrend began this week, and this means that I will be deploying some of my available cash and adding to positions cautiously. I say cautiously because it has been such a choppy market so far this year.
Watching For The Next Short-Term Uptrend
The market has continued to be choppy and confusing, but with the PMO index at the bottom of its range, we need to be watching for signs of the next short-term uptrend.
A Rough Week In The Stock Market
What in the world is going on with the stock market? This was certainly a rough week for traders. First, there was strength on Tuesday, then weakness on Wednesday, followed by strength on Thursday, and finally weakness on Friday.
Stocks Experiencing A Short-Term Pullback
The PMO appears to be near the bottom of its range, and the momentum indicator of the advance/decline line has turned lower. This would indicate that most stocks are experiencing a short-term pullback in price.
Selling Pressure In The Uptrend
The strong uptrend that started in late October has been displaying a bit of selling pressure lately. The NDX closed under the 20-day EMA on Friday, and it could be rolling over. In fact, the NDX hasn't had a closing high in a couple weeks.
A Surprising Uptrend
Have you ever seen such a beautiful uptrend? Since the late October low, the market has moved higher. And yet, since mid-January, I have been saying that I couldn't discern the direction of the short-term trend.
The Short-Term Trend Is Uncertain, But Stocks Are Showing Momentum
I'm still not certain about the short-term trend in the markets, but I can see that most stocks are now showing bullish, upward momentum. Although the PMO index has been choppy over the last four weeks, it is now definitely trending upwards.
Leading Stocks Are In A Short-Term Uptrend
The market-leading stocks have continued to push indexes higher, while the majority of stocks continued their consolidation of the gains from November and December. The leading stocks are in a short-term uptrend, but the majority of stocks are not.
Stocks Are Still Correcting And Consolidating
Most stocks appear to be correcting and consolidating the big gains of the final two months of 2023. The true market leaders, however, finished correcting in mid-January and have been moving higher since then.
Stocks Are Still In Correction Mode
The short-term downtrend looks set to continue -- that is, unless you own tech stocks, specifically semiconductors. Friday was an incredible day in the market, but the majority of stocks are still in correction mode.
The Market Continues Its Short-Term Downtrend
The market continues to be in a short-term downtrend. If you own only large-cap stocks, you may not be feeling the impact of this part of the short-term cycle. But if you own small-caps, you are likely aware that stock prices have been pulling back.
