About market, TAPE was in green around 2 PM when Mr Icahn informed the world that he has zero AAPL shares, also predicted day of reckoning for market, that is all what was needed by many traders and they started selling in heavy volume. After hour earning reports were stellar from AMZN, LNKD , EXPE & BIDU which should tell Icahn followers, selling was not a great idea. This was the pullback which we got in a hurry in 2 hours.

About market, TAPE was mixed despite earnings & fed jitters, Nasdaq closed down 4 day in a row.Internals were strong. Earnings tonight are mostly negative and Nasdaq is set to open low. Techs are not the place to be and may take until Q4 to show some strength. Again, look @ your own comfort level in any stocks especially when they are not meeting your expectations. So far, my diversified portfolio has compensated for the weak back to back earnings report in technology.

About market, TAPE is in digestive mode of tremendous gains, Nasdaq has been down 3 day's in a row. Internals of market was mixed which is a good thing. Tuesday after hours AAPL is reporting, again reaction will be based on results and guidance, Many famous stocks are facing selling prior to earnings, how far they fall may create a cushion IF they disappoint.

S&P 500 all set for golden cross......

S&P 500 is only 2 points away from making golden cross, a reliable technical indicator of future strength, Dow has already made it, Nasdaq is 111 points away from golden cross.

Nasdaq earnings so far is weak, this week many important techs are reporting Monday NXPI, Tuesday TWTR AAPL CMG, Wednesday FB, Thursday AMZN, BIDU......IF i have to handicap only few will beat or guide up......

Fed meeting is also this week and Wednesday @ 2 PM will make a statement about direction of interest rates, expecting no change.

Important part is that this market only punishes stocks which gives weak earnings and they too start recovering very soon, a sign of strong bull market,

This TAPE is very healthy and strong, it is important to keep the focus on stocks which are working and let it run.

RSI around 70 gives minor pushback and then we resume uptrend until we hit 70 again, currently RSI are @ these numbers :

Nasdaq @ 56.40

S&P 500 @ 63.23

Dow @ 65.63

RUT @ 66.79

Strongest index is Russell which is a major change, weakest index is Nasdaq and may remain so.

VIX @ 13.22 is a mini challenge as its trading range is 53.29 to 10.88......when we get in 11 area, TAPE may pull back in a hurry, something to keep an eye on.

Gold, Oil, base metals are working and need to be in trading focus, they were down for several years and now has come back to life, much more to go on the upside.

Chemicals are working also, check the chart of HUN...looks very impressive.

Are Fertilizer stocks next to come out of ICU?

Stocks in many new sectors need to be in focus be it steels, copper or chemicals.....

Good luck with your stock picks, this is a very good rotation TAPE.

About market, TAPE showed its strong buying momentum after Doha failure and oil slump @ open, within minutes of open buyers flocked in and bought everything on sale, by close we were @ the highest point of the day. Indices are sitting @ the highest level of 2016 and within striking distance of making a new all time high. All this daily record close is being ignored by a technician, Carter Worth is always looking towards 2008, which was 8 years ago, one hell of a technical analysis.

Doha meeting outcome to impact markets....

18 countries are debating what to incorporate in their draft agreement, as usual there is lot of drama as Saudi's & Iranian's do not see eye to eye in quest to freeze production. IF they fail to come up with workable draft agreement, there may be negative reaction based on perception.

Market is slowly creeping towards making new all time high.....

Market is also moving towards making a golden cross.....

Here are the numbers towards making new all time highs :

Dow only 2.48% away

S&P 500 only 2.54% away

Nasdaq 5.62% away

Russell 12.75%......

This TAPE is tilted towards Dow & S&P 500 as the main focus of money flow, Nasdaq is lagging so far, that may change IF we get major beat in earnings.

Small caps are struggling badly and are a major laggard.

It is important to know these stats to make an educated investment decision, listening to CNBC only for ideas is a crap shoot.

There has been a shift in sectors to invest or trade, major gains of triple digits are happening in Oil, Gold & base metals ......need to be in that sector to get ahead.

Different markets need different approach, this TAPE is decidedly different from 2014....

Volatility has spiked which can be a good thing, IF you focus on trading range of strong stocks.

It is not that difficult to trade in a $2 range of strong stocks.....

I do not see this market as a straight line UP moving, it is back and forth type of movement, which can be frustrating for long term investors.

This is a daytrading market and swing trading is a good approach also.

Go for singles instead of homerun......

Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.

Market remains in an upward mode and may need to rest for few more days before charging UP to new all time highs in Dow & S&P 500. Stock picks need to reflect current favourite stocks.

About market, TAPE was strong again and closed @ high of the day, Nasdaq was the strongest which is a change from before.Internals were strong all over. Tonight IBD is changing its market outlook to "market in confirmed uptrend"...Even though oil was down indices went with Chinese export data. Gold rested after being overbought, same with oil.Rotation is going on which is a sign of healthy market, technology & financials were in vogue now vs oil, gold and base metals.
