About market, TAPE was under pressure from strong consumer spending and British potential exit from EU, but by close market were @ upper end of trading range. Internals were strong all over. Internal strength of the TAPE was evident even @ low of the day.Diversified portfolios are working better as sectors rotate on a daily basis. Internal strength may take this TAPE to new all time highs in short order.

Can S&P 500 go to new all time high this week?

In the last 6 days of trading, indices have cut through fed driven negativity and have moved UP 4 of last 6 sessions, a decisive move against overwhelming odds.

As of Friday close, here is the snapshot of all major indices :

-S&P 500 from all time high only 35.64 points or 1.68%

-Dow from all time high 478.15 points or 2.62%

-Nasdaq from all time high 297.85 points or 5.70%

-Russell from all time high 145.56 points or 11.24%

As you can see from the above statistics for new all time highs, it may take a shortened week to make it in S&P 500 & Dow, Nasdaq could do it also in coming week.

Russell is far far away may take 5 to 6 weeks.

This has been a very tough market and is reflected in YTD picture for most indices, it has been struggle for a long time.

Those practising patience and conviction have managed to stay with the market are doing reasonably well, some are actually doing better than market.

Once we hit new all time high, more money will be allocated to equities.

I expect most sector to participate in this rally from banks oil, gold, tech, biotech.

Look @ your allocation and IF you are underweight, it is time to increase exposure based on your comfort level.

Good luck with your own interpretation of this TAPE.

About market, TAPE traded in an extremely narrow range which i have ever observed, range was only 7 points in S&P 500, so it was a no nothing session in low volume. GDP revision is on tap for 830 AM excitement, could be another narrow session for upcoming memorial day long weekend.Oil went through $50 but retraced by 52 cents. VIX getting near lower end of trading range, which may put resistance for equities.

About market, TAPE tried to beat negativity due to oil being lower & Fed interest rate increase fear, but by close gave up gains and closed @ low of the day.

After 5 weeks of pullback, now what......

Indices were in a corrective mode for last 5 weeks, many issues impacted trading, first Yen surge, then oil climb, then oil pullback, then Fed interest hike fears......all that resulted in following :

S&P 500 lost from high to low 4.03%

Dow Jones lost from high to low 4.60%

Nasdaq lost from high to low 5.85%

Russell lost from high to low 6.06%

These are meaningful pullbacks and based on 5 week duration, it was the longest stretch of digestive phase.

Inflation worry, growth worry are the key catalyst for uncertainty......

World is adjusting to slow growth and minor uptick in inflation based on prices and wages.

In Asia, inflation is moderating in India & Pakistan, much lower than record inflation of several years or even decade.

TAPE has discounted current burning issue of Fed interest rate hike in June.

Expect a buy in anticipation and then further buy on the news.

Any jittery selling should be a strong buy 

RSI in indices in mid 40's are in the lower end of the range, which should give comfort to traders and investors.

Oil & Gold has stabilised which confirms slight inflation and growth worldwide.

Expect major new inflow in the market....

Many doomsters will change their tune once we start moving higher and make new highs.

Exposure should be near high based on your own comfort level.

Good luck with your own analysis.

Bulls missing from action ?

Latest data from AAII is giving a clear picture of what is going on in this TAPE......

Bulls have panicked and jumped ship.....

Bulls are @ only 19.2%......

80% ++ bears and neutral.....

This is the most lopsided reading since March 2009......

Any number of 70 or more combined is considered extremely bullish

We all know what was happening in March 2009......we hit the lowest point in decade.....

Thus bulls missing is a good thing......

We may be on the verge of another "monster rally"

This is the-most contrary indicator which real bulls or gutsy traders can rely on.....

@ or near bottom, everyone is sure that there is no support in this TAPE.....that is when everything turns UP for no apparent reason except being overly pessimistic......

Nasdaq RSI @ 39.55 is flashing oversold condition....

Selling has been brutal in Nasdaq and money has flowed out in a hurry, thanks to AAPL CMF is barely green @ 0.003......

Retail is slowing but not disappearing, AMZN has a fraction of that business, they are not cheapest in every category, i shop @ AMZN for few things only, rest is touch and feel @ sale prices.

I expect a rally which everyone will expect it to fail, but it should keep going with few pullbacks.

@ this stage exposure should be increased or @ maximum based on comfort level.

Good luck with your own analysis and strategy.

About market, TAPE was extremely unsettled did UP, Down,UP and mixed close. Oil was indecisive also whole day fluctuating from plus to minus to plus. There is lot of churning going on in most stocks where daily range is unbelievable UP 3% then Down 3% and then closing green, that was the story with NTES and many Chinese stocks today. Hedge funds seems to be controlling direction of stocks on an hourly basis. There is only a closing BLOG around 7 PM on Friday's

AH Gold UP

About market, TAPE was sharply lower @ close ignoring oil being UP and US$ being down, both positive influence in past. TAPE was fixated on DIS & M and that is all that mattered. This TAPE lacks consistency now vs previous predictability based on oil & US$. Most Chinese internet earnings are positive which should give a boost to their share price on Thursday's trading.

About market, TAPE was strong on higher oil and closed @ high of the day, internals were strong. S&P 500 & Dow are maintaining golden cross and Nasdaq  is getting ready to enter hopefully tomorrow which is long time coming.Most sector participated in this rally except few troubled retailer. With the momentum TAPE displayed today, we should have a confirmation of this rally.
