Market was bombarded with every Fed governor giving their verdict on the direction of interest rates, it was a unanimous higher call, even Janet Yellen saying, i am getting ready to hike.
In the aftermath of all of the above, market took it all in stride.
Here is where we are sitting from all time high :
Dow 1.46% away from all time high or 274 points
S&P 500 1.1% away from all time high or 25 points
Nasdaq 1.07% away from all time high or 57 points
RSI are as follows :
Nasdaq @ 58.69
S&P 500 @ 49.62
Dow @ 46.01
In any other times we would not have fared this good, but this is a strong bull market, where rotation is the name of the game.
Last week was a clear indication of resiliency of this market.
I am of the opinion that one hike of .25% will NOT derail this market, be it in September or December.
Market has discounted 1 rate hike and is ready to look beyond Fed governors.
I am also of the opinion, that we may hit new all time highs in Nasdaq and S&P 500, Dow may join following week.
SO, the question is, what is not to like about this TAPE.
A diversified & full exposure may bring $$$ and smile to many participants.
Strong stocks are outperforming either by going down the least on down days or going up the most on good days.
