10 Day high minus low: back blast

On Wednesday we mentioned the possibility of some back blast and Thursday provided that rally.  Markets just don’t fall off the cliff (unless news related) they usually slowly roll over with weakened breadth and that is not what we had on Wednesday.  Thursday answered back and now it is up to Friday to let...

40 DMA % Index neutral but close on the RUT

Back and forth goes the indicators.. I still think there is more downside in the next 15 days than upside. The 40 DMA % Index (40DPI)  on all three moved up with the what turned out to be a trend day up.  Breadth is returning but the question now is how long does it...

52 Week New Highs turning around

The 52 week new highs turned around on Thursday but still not enough to turn the momentum indicators around into bull mode.  Friday needs to be a follow through day in if the new highs are to go bullish.  The charts score neutral today since they put in higher new day bars but unable...

Since the new newsletter format this is my first test of getting this summary piece out.  I like to write it in the morning to get overnight news but this morning found my workstation had a bad crash sometime last night and had to wait for infinite reboots. So I need to write this...

10 Day High Minus low puts in bearish numbers

Ten day high minus lows put in both lower bars and kept the downward momentum alive.  I still do not like how we essentially feel off the cliff rather than slowly drifting down into a correction and expect some type of back blast before the market does the healthy thing and correct to setup...

40 DMA % Index puts in a mixed day: -2 score

A mixed score for the 40 DMA % Index as both the NYSE and RUT put in stronger days than yesterday but remained below their 20 DMA thus scoring neutral zeros which is an improvement over Tuesday’s bearish minus 2 each.  The NASQ was the weak sister Wednesday not able to score a higher...

52 week new highs puts in two in a row: $$

We did get a follow through day today on lower 52 week new highs and that is not good for the bulls.  The chart scores a -6 today. This is not impossible for the bulls to turn around here but any rally now is suspect.
