*** Status: Market Bullish - Sector Funds ***
The market just keeps chugging along. Not much to add other then the comments we noted last week. If we look at the weekly SP-500 chart, the next obvious resistance level is at ~1430. The general market trading filter I use (SP-500 53 day CCI) is at 1142 indicating Market Up which is up from 122 last week. My multiple composite SP-500 indicators on the daily chart are both positive also providing a bullish signal. As seen at the right the CCI(53) indicator is still positive for all the four major indexes, as well as junk bonds.
The Guppy Plot for the SP-500 is bullish with the fast moving above the slow moving averages, and the average slope of the fast and slow moving averages positive. The ADX components are also bullish.
We’ll see what the next week brings. We don't try to forecast the market here, rather we just monitor the current conditions and react accordingly. This week there is one change to model portfolios. We are no longer publishing updates to the Vanguard ETF Portfolio since it is published on Collective2. I hope you find this blog helpful. If you do, why not leave a comment.
