Weekly Market Update: Some Indicators are Down

There was some turbulence this week as earnings season is underway. Apple took a beating, as did some other technology stocks, which brought the NasDaq below its 30 week moving average. There were some bright spots in tech, Amazon  and Facebook both reported great earnings. We will see how the rest of earnings go this quarter.

Weekly Market Update: Looking Good

The market held steady last week. The indicators remain positive.

Weekly Market Update: Sunny Weather

The market is looking pretty good! Even the global Dow is participating in the good performance. Here is a summary of the indicators.


 

Weekly Market Update: Signs of Slippage

Some of the indicators that popped up last week are back down this week signaling a possibility we might head back down into a bear market again. The Global Dow is back underneath its 30 week moving average and the NASDAQ is threatening to join it. Both NYSE DOW divergence indicators are down this week as well.

Remember to use stop-loss orders if you had bought any stocks in the last couple of weeks to protect your gains.

Weekly Market Update: Much Improvement

The market looks pretty good this week. We are back to 7 out of 9 indicators in positive territory. The Global Dow is just slightly above its 30 week moving average, so technically we should have 8 out of 9 indicators in the green, but I'd prefer to see it clearly above the line before I call it positive.

Are we climbing the Wall of Worry? Hope so, this could be a good sign the market is turning around.

Weekly Market Update: Caution

The positive gains of the last couple of weeks appear to be at risk for moving back into negative territory. If you bought during the last couple of weeks, remember the Sell Rules and make sure you have protective stops in place.

Weekly Market Update: Sunny

Once the NASDAQ moves above its 30 week moving average, we'll have 8 out 9 indicators in the green. The Global DOW pushed above its 30 week moving average for the first time since July 2015.  I don't foresee the Dow Dividend Ratio moving into the green anytime soon. 

At this point, I am moving cautiously back into the market. We are not firmly in an uptrend but signs are improving. I will feel better about it when the 30 week moving averages begin an upward slope. Most have flattened which is encouraging because it means they are no longer moving downward.
