Good Thursday morning all. Rather ugly day yesterday with a sell-off throughout the smart money hour into the close. And it was the 3rd day in a row with negative A/D for NYSE. It’s been a couple months since we’ve seen that. Weak internals across the board; 2:1 losses in both A/D and volume.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterdays trading…actually the last 2 days of trading…have served as an important reminder that until we break the pattern of market sell-offs/pauses that’s been in place from March (once reaching extreme OB on VRA System momentum oscillators), we must continue to respect this pattern.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday brought massive intraday reversals higher, with the Dow Jones gaining 560 points off the lows to finish +102. Seeing follow through this AM with Dow futures + 280. Real fear started coming into the market yesterday morning. Music to a contrarians ears.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. It has been a mixed week for our markets as higher interest rates and our leadership tech/growth stocks tend not to be besties.

Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday marked the 51st record close in S&P 500 this year and another ATH in Nasdaq, as it holds above the 15,000 plateau. And our internals put up another positive day…that’s 4 in a row, which hasn’t happened in several weeks.

Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Excellent day in the Dow Jones yesterday (+210…we love both the Dow and R2K charts here) but slow summer-like day elsewhere. ATH’s once again in S&P 500 and we’ve now had back-to-back-to-back days with ATH’s in the semis as SMH put up a bit of a furious rally…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday may have been a quiet day on the surface, but like ducks on the water it was a much different story below the water line.

Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. As we have covered in previous updates, as bad as J Powells track record is (once his pressers begin the markets immediately start to tank), JP actually scored a win yesterday. When he began speaking the Dow was -309 and Nasdaq -104, but by the close the Dow was -265…

Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Breaking news from the ADP jobs report this AM which came in at 978,000 jobs created vs estimate of 650,000. I can tell you that there’s some nervousness around the May jobs report that’ll be out tomorrow morning (8:30 AM EST),
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. This feels as much like a goldilocks market as I can remember. You know the reasons we’re bullish…the reasons we’ve been aggressively bullish for the last 14 months…but its primarily about two issues. These are the most important two issues of any bull or bear market;
