I was somewhat surprised that the SPX, NDX and OEX did not lose their IT Trend Model BUY signals today. However, I would look for those signal changes tomorrow after the close. In order to avoid these Neutral signals, price would need to climb above the 50-EMA... Read More

No changes on the DecisionPoint Scoreboards. The short-term is still weak; our short-term Swenlin Trading Oscillators turned down this week after barely reaching positive territory. TLT rallied further but was unable to push past strong resistance at the March high... Read More

A few weeks ago, when the market began challenging the 2018 price highs, I pointed out that there was a potential for a double top. Since then, a second top has clearly formed, and the potential for more downside must be considered... Read More

Just a short note to alert readers to the two new Short-Term Trend Model Neutral signals on the NDX and OEX. These signals are triggered when the 5-EMA crosses below the 20-EMA while ABOVE the 50-EMA. If the crossover occurs BELOW the 50-EMA, then you have a STTM SELL signal... Read More

The OEX hopped on board the SELL signal train as its Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) crossed below its signal line, which triggered its own Short-Term PMO SELL Signal. A rising wedge was nearly executed today to the downside... Read More

The Dow flipped to a new PMO SELL signal on Monday; today, we saw the SPX and NDX join in. These are just more signs that the market is angling for a pullback or correction... Read More
