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.

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

Both KD and MACD are looking for golden cross and continue up.
It is possible to build W-shape bottom during consolidation.

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

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
