We don’t believe the market is going to have a down day ever
again. Despite extended, stretched and overbought conditions, the market keeps
rolling on. In fact, we believe it is nothing but bullish when a market can
continue on its merry way despite these conditions. Normally, markets stairstep
both up and down…but there is nothing normal about the recent action.
Shorter-term, like a broken record, the market remains extended and due to pull
back at any time…but we’ve gone there before. Just keep in mind, eventually,
the market will go back to the norm.
It is a positive that the NEW HIGH list continues to expand
signifying more and more leadership. Nothing but good comes from this.
It is most positive that FINALLY, small and mid-caps are now
coming on strong. For weeks, we were telling you about the negative divergence.
It seems things are getting resolved to the positive as the MIDCAP 400 and
RUSSELL 2000 are now playing catch up.
It is a positive that more and more stocks and more and more
sectors are back into the positive side of the column as they put in near term
lows and started coming up the right side.
It is a positive that many lagging countries are now coming on
strong. We always want to see the rest of the world in lockstep.
Here are the first support levels to be aware of…if the
market ever decides to have a down day again…DOW 11794…S&P 1343…NASDAQ
2289. We would tell you intermediate and longer-term support but they are so far
away, there is no need right now since markets are so stretched.
We could yap more but don’t want to confuse the issue. Until
we see distribution in the market…it is what it is. Do not fight it. Just keep
in mind….it is now earning’s season where a lot of playing fields are going to
change.
