Daily Battle Plan

Two very different markets remain out there; the US vs. the rest of the world. US index prices remain relentless. Most of the rest of the world remains in decline with over 35% of the Country Fund ETFs showing ConnorsRSI readings under 25 coming into the day.

And on the 17th consecutive day of the S&P closing above its 5 period moving average the index again closed higher… There is a long standing phrase to “never short a dull market” and we are living through the why’s of this.

Today should close higher and a reversal should be viewed as a short term opportunity on the short side for early…    [Read More]
