Nasdaq has been UP 5 weeks in a row, the question is, can it go to new all time high. Here is RSI comparison of major indices :
Dow RSI @ 59.32
S&P 500 RSI @ 64.16
Nasdaq RSI @ 70.00
As you can see that RSI in Nasdaq is @ its highest level in 5 months, normally this would have resulted in an immediate pullback, BUT this time pullback may not happen @ 70 level.
Nasdaq closed @ 5162.13
All time high 5231.94
Nasdaq needs only 69.82 points to make it into new all time highs or 1.36% move.......
As we have just witnessed this week that AAPL,FB AMZN & GOOG had outstanding earnings, there is a high probability that Nasdaq momentum continues this week.
I am expecting Nasdaq to hit all time highs by Thursday of this week, it will be interesting to watch how RSI goes higher than 70 range.....
RSI like any other technical indicator, can have abnormalities both on the low side like below 30 or high side like above 70....its all very subjective, being a close follower of RSI, this is the only times i feel, that we go well above trendline....shall see by Thursday of this week.
It has been a stock pickers market and those who do not change with the flow have not fared as well.
Trend has been very well defined, strong companies are performing very well.
Stock market is all about taking risk, sometimes it pays more to go into risky format like buying before earnings report, some like to buy after earnings report, which limits the gain, but allows you to sleep well @ night.
There are many ways to trade this market, i have my comfort level with my approach, may look reckless or too aggressive but results are there to justify my risk taking.
This season earnings reaction has been positive 9 out of 10 picks, not bad @ all.
TSLA earning is coming UP, they are expecting 7% move UP or Down......take your pick......I may join in.......
Good luck with your own trading style and comfort level.

Nasdaq all set for new all time high......
Dow & S&P 500 have made series of new all time highs, but Nasdaq has been making steady progress towards new all time high, Russell is the big laggard.
Here is summary of Nasdaq and Russell :
Nasdaq closed @ 5100.16, all time high 5231.94....131.78 points to go or 2.58%
Russell closed @ 1212.89, all time high 1296.00....83.11 points to go or 6.85%
It is clearly evident that small caps are struggling the most.
This market is rewarding Dow & S&P 500 stocks for a long time......
There is a very good chance that, Nasdaq may hit new all time high this week......
Once Nasdaq makes it into record book, then expect euphoria to set in and new money will be in tech.
VIX @ 12.02...is the biggest threat to this rally, 10.88 is 52 wk low....VIX may give temporary pause to rally.
VIX may trade in a 30% range.....11.50 to 15.00
Overall tone of this market is healthy, with internals looking very good.
BUT...it is important to book profit and stay with strong stocks which has rested and has low RSI.
It is becoming a traders market again......
Important earnings are this week, Tuesday AAPL & TWTR, FB & NXPI on Wednesday, GOOG, AMZN, BIDU on Thursday
Many stocks are sitting for breakout except few laggards.
Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.

SBUX reported a beat in EPS by 2 cents, but Sales was a miss, actual Sales $5.2 billion vs expected $5.33 billion.Worth keeping in portfolio.
CMG Was a miss of 6 cents on EPS 87 cents vs expected 93 cents, Sales $998.4 million vs expected 1.05 billion.....Keeping in portfolio....
About market, TAPE was under mild selling pressure and closed well above low of the day, this is very impressive considering we were overbought. VIX turned UP 8.24% which is a big relief from lowest close in 2 years. It will be interesting how market close looks like, as most high profile earnings were a miss.

About market,TAPE maintained its impressive run with Dow & S&P 500 @ fresh new all time highs. Internals were strong with Nasdaq stocks doing very well. After a long long time, i am not so gutsy anymore as VIX is @ 2 year low, anytime i ignored that, i have suffered financially in a hurry, this time, i am booking gains, so i am not going to lose my profit.RSI in Dow is @ 69.05...awfully close to sharp pullback, Nasdaq @ 65.76 is lagging slightly. BUT in 1999-2000 runup, TAPE kept going up defying technicals or fundamentals, i certainly hope, we are not going to repeat that.

About market, Dow made another closing all time high, while Nasdaq and S&P 500 took a well deserved rest. TAPE is in the process of digesting gains and may need few more days of down to sideways action. Internals were negative after a long time which is a good thing. Overbought conditions are being dealt with, RSI in 50+++ will be healthy. Individual story stocks are behaving better than rest. It may be a good time to create a buy list on any pullback, i have mine ready.

Are we topping out......?
Indices has been on a tear since end of June, after breaking support we rallied hard and made new all time highs in S&P 500 & Dow.
Let us look @ RSI to see where we may be heading next :
Dow RSI 67.33
S&P 500 RSI 65.12
RUT RSI 63.82
Nasdaq RSI 62.66
As we know that Russell and Nasdaq has not made new all time high, which is a concern, here is the number to get to in those indices :
Nasdaq all time high 5231.94......4.02% away
Russell all time high 1296.00......7.52% away
Dow has some room in RSI and can go to 72 area, but may do a quick reversal.....
S&P 500 also has similar room to 70 area and may do quick reversal from there...
RUT & Nasdaq can also go to 70 RSI ..but those can reach serious overbought condition.....
BUT..the good news is that...it is a stock picker market and many stocks are behaving very well and wants to go much higher.......
ALSO...this is NOT a trading market but an " investment strategy " is the way to go......
This TAPE has the feel of a sustained bull market, which may surprise everyone by making series of new highs....
As Nasdaq has not made a new high yet, it gives us hope that it will make series of new highs first, followed by Russell few weeks further......
In conclusion, it is good to be exposed with maximum exposure, which has worked since February lows with some correction along the way.
On Friday before close, i bought NXPI @ $79.76.
Here is my weighting :
NTES 20.20%
CMG 16.76%
CNQ 15.89%
UA 12.65%
TWTR 12.47%
SBUX 7.13%

S&P 500 may hit new all time high this week....
Brexit is in rear view mirror and TAPE is poised to hit all time highs, here are the numbers for making new highs :
S&P 500 31.78 points or 1.49%
Dow 402.00 points or 2.19%
Nasdaq 369.38 points or 7.06%
Based on a 4 day week, it appears S&P 500 is all set to march into record books....
Dow could make into record books also...
Nasdaq may need another 3 weeks to cross 5231.94......
TAPE was extremely strong and impressive last week by moving UP a fast 3% in most indices.
Most sectors were participating in last week snapback.
A diversified portfolio is the-best bet going forward.
Strong stocks needs to be overweight, as technical health should provide superior result.
July may become the month of series of new highs in all indices.....
Market is looking very strong as all central banks are in wait and see mode post Brexit.
Increasing your exposure in this environment can be profitable.
I am leaving on a 2 week vacation with my family in US starting early Monday, i am unable to write my BLOG for 2 weeks, will be back with Sunday July the 17th BLOG around 2 PM.
I am hoping that stocktrader_1996 will be able to give a closing report in comment section for 9 trading days, plus his trades as they happen. His experience in market is highly valued by me and other BLOG readers.

Dow 402.00 points or 2.19%
Nasdaq 369.38 points or 7.06%
Based on a 4 day week, it appears S&P 500 is all set to march into record books....
Dow could make into record books also...
Nasdaq may need another 3 weeks to cross 5231.94......
TAPE was extremely strong and impressive last week by moving UP a fast 3% in most indices.
Most sectors were participating in last week snapback.
A diversified portfolio is the-best bet going forward.
Strong stocks needs to be overweight, as technical health should provide superior result.
July may become the month of series of new highs in all indices.....
Market is looking very strong as all central banks are in wait and see mode post Brexit.
Increasing your exposure in this environment can be profitable.
I am leaving on a 2 week vacation with my family in US starting early Monday, i am unable to write my BLOG for 2 weeks, will be back with Sunday July the 17th BLOG around 2 PM.
I am hoping that stocktrader_1996 will be able to give a closing report in comment section for 9 trading days, plus his trades as they happen. His experience in market is highly valued by me and other BLOG readers.
