*** Status: Market Bullish - Sector Positions or Bonds ***
The general market trading filter I use (SP-500 53 day CCI) is at 61 indicating Market Up. My multiple composite SP-500 indicators on the daily chart are mixed indicating a neutral market. As seen at the right the CCI(53) indicator is positive for all the four major indices. It is interesting to note that with this market move up we are actually seeing a replacement of the bond funds at the top of the rankings with other sectors such as telecom, utilities, and internet. So maybe that is an indication of a true shift in overall market trend. There are several changes to the model portfolios. While we need to be wary of a sideways market, these sectors maybe indicating a true shift to an upward trend. Time will tell as always. The SP-500 is now above the 50 and 200 EMAs, but can still be classified as range bound. We'll have to see if the resistance at ~1120 can be broken this time around.
