Good Evening,

From a momentum perspective,  last weeks trading was just profit taking and panic selling induced by computer algorithms so they can position themselves for the next leg of upside that will surely come.  The economy is still in recovery mode. Granted, pullbacks are never fun, but they’re quite common. And typically, quite healthy.
 If you click on the charts they will become larger.

Above is the Monthly S&P500 index chart.


Above is S&P500 daily chart: 

The resonance from both DMI & MTM was good signal. Also, both DMI & MTM are still positive now.


Above is S&P500 60 minutes chart:
Both KD and MACD are looking for golden cross and continue up.
It is possible to build W-shape bottom during consolidation.

Above is the hourly Nasdaq Index Chart
Generally, we have a drop in September. However, it has low chance of being a big drop this year because we already had big downfall in March.
Next week, the indices should have a high probability of moving higher because this profit taking was mainly in the Tech sector (NASDAQ gained too much) and didn’t effect traditional industries by causing them to drop much such as the Russell 2000.  As long as big techs like AAPL and MSFT stop dropping and then reverse for another leg up, the NASDAQ index will not fall easily.
There is the chance the selling isn’t over.   However, after similar moves in June  the indices eventually continued to rally and I believe they will do so this time as well!!

May God Bless,

Wayne

The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…

    Good Afternoon, This was a Fed Driven market. It was all about when the Fed would be reducing interest rates based on inflation and that’s still the case to a certain degree, but in all actuality everything is waiting on the outcome of the tariff situation. So given that fact I’m going to say that…
