Weekly Market Update: We're in the Green

The market is looking positive. Using ETF's as a proxy, we can see the S&P and Dow are in Stage 1. The NasDaq is still sitting in Stage 4 but hopefully on it's way into Stage 1 soon.

For a reminder on Stage Analysis read this post.

Weekly Market Update: Indicators are Positive

The week ended well and looks positive for the week to come. I suspect we will be in this sideways trading range until the elections take place in the Fall. The Barron's chart shows positive movement as well.

Weekly Market Update: Back in the Green

The market made a nice comeback this week and all the indicators are in the green.
We are looking for signs of an early stage 1 or stage 2 advance. At the moment we are in a trading range and if the indexes can rise above the overhead resistance we will see a positive sign.

Weekly Market Update: Brexit brings GDOW Below its 30 Week Moving Average

The market was down this week largely due to the BREXIT vote. Britain voted to leave the EU. The indicators are 50/50. There were still more new highs than lows, which I find interesting. 






Another interesting item is that the DOW declined but the NYSE A-D went up. Also a positive indicator. (Barron's Data Here)

 

I will want to see what transpires next week, but think this could potentially be a buying opportunity. We'll see.

News: Britain votes to leave the European Union

Futures are down this morning as news of the UK vote is soaked in. We are in for a wild ride as market sort through the impact of the vote. Mr. Market likes predictability and this is anything but!

U.S. Stocks: Dow futures down 500 points pre-market 

This may bring us some buying opportunities, but wait until the dust settles.

Cheers.

Weekly Market Update: So-So

The market continues to be in a trough. This week three indicators are flashing red. The Dow vs. NYSE AD and the Dow vs NYSE High-Low. Both are down. We still look for clear direction.

Weekly Market Update: What stage are we in?

While the indicators are fairly positive, I remain cautious. The market doesn't feel like it has conviction. Here are this week's indicators.






For Weinstein fan's Chartmill has some fantastic indicators available on its charting site. Here is a graph I put together using their tool. It shows SPY on a weekly basis with a 30 week moving average, Stage Indicators and the Weinstein RSI. We are still in Stage 1.
I am looking for the early start of Stage 2 for an entry point.

Of interest, the Dow dividend ETF is in a Stage 2 Advance indicated by the green, while the S&P ETF (SPY) and Nasdaq ETF (QQQ) are in Stage 3, indicated by the grey bars. Remember the Dow is defensive.
