General Market Observation: The Tracking Indexes show a resilient market with many mixed signals. Markets with mixed signals can be challenging to navigate and lead to whipsaw. Starting with the SPX. Price action is in a short-term downtrend, but rebounded strongly yesterday from the bottom of the channel which coincided with the 50 day EMA. Additionally, prices bounced from the 2323 level which was the downside target when price broke from a symmetric triangle on 3/21. The daily chart of SPX is telling us that there may be more upside with both the TSI and Momentum turning up. As highlighted yesterday in the “After Market Monday” Webinar, the daily and weekly chart indicators are out of synch. For the short-term downtrend to be reversed price must move and close above the upper channel line. If this happens then a new higher swing high is needed to set price action back into an uptrend. Yesterday’s bounce and today’s follow through was a good start, but until the resistance is busted it is just price action with an established short-term downtrend.

NDX is in a sideways trend or consolidation pattern. Because it continues to be the strongest of the three Tracking Indexes QQQ or TQQQ may provide a trade if prices breakout or retest intraday.

The Russell is working with in a short-term downtrend channel. Note that its price action is weaker than the other two Indexes. Price is stuck below the 20 and 50 day EMAs. Yesterday prices bounced from the 100 day Moving Average. On market weakness look to IWM or TZA for potential trades. If the current rebound continues the RUT will become interesting between the 1375 and 1380 levels. Depending on time required, these levels may coincide with the upper channel line.

Preferred Long ETF’s: SPY, UPRO and SPXL
