General Market Observation: The Dow dropped a bit today after 12 straight days up. While we don’t know if this marks a top or not, each of the Indexes do have something in common. Each Index shows daily TSI that has rolled over and in some cases crossed. This does not mean the top is in but it may mean that upside price action may be muted. For the 3 Tracking Indexes the Russell (RUT) is the weakest of the three. SPX and NDX are both holding up.
As seen on the SPX chart below, the reaction to the last thrust up has been a sideways move over the past 6 days. The uptrend remains intact so waiting for pullbacks would be in order. The most recent TSI rollovers have led to pullbacks resulting in buy opportunities. On should continue to plan to buy pullbacks until they stop working.
NDX similar action to SPX. The RUT is showing the most significant weakness. The breakout above 1392 has now been voided. Today’s price action closed below the 20 day EMA. Today was the largest down day in several months. Above average moves either up or down can telegraph a change in trend.
As I’ve said over the past few weeks, a weakening along the line so the historic post-election seasonality may still happen in March rather than February. If the growth objectives of the new administration appear to be bogging down may be the catalyst for more significant downside.
SPX: Downside Market Short the SPY, SPY Puts or SPXU.
Preferred Long ETF’s: SPY, UPRO and SPXL
NDX: Downside Market Short the QQQ, QQQ Puts or SQQQ.
Preferred Long ETF’s: QQQ and TQQQ
RUT: Downside Market Short the IWM, IWM Puts or TZA.
Preferred Long ETF’s: IWM and TNA

The fundamental sort resulted in AEIS, ESNT and THO on top of the other 50 stocks. Keep an eye on NVDA. While it was hit hard last week it still rates as the 2nd place stock on the IBD 50. We shall see if things turn around!
