*** Status: Market Bullish – Sector Funds ***
Another positive week with the SP-500 up 0.88% for the week. It is still above the 200 day moving average, and moving above the recent support/resistance at 1264. The general market trading filter I use (SP-500 53 day CCI) is now at +122 indicating Market Up which is up from +119 last week. My multiple composite SP-500 indicators on the daily chart remain mixed, with the Blau Ergodic Composite Indicator just barely bearish and the MACD composite bullish. The SP-500 index is down ~5.9% from the recent May high of 1370. The CCI indicators at the right give a good indication of the market. At this time we see all bullish even bonds (NASDAQ:IEF).
The Guppy Plot for the SP-500 Index is quite Bullishl. The Fast Moving Averages are now above the Slow Moving Averages. The average slope of the Fast Moving Averages and the average slope of the Slow Moving Averages, are both now positive again. The ADX components are bullish, and the Stoch has moved up.
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. I hope you find this blog helpful. If you do, why not leave a comment.
