CMF has turned negative on all 3 indices....

TAPE has been on a holding pattern and has not done much since 2nd week of July, it has gone nowhere. How will this 7 week of sideways action will resolve.......we have to look @ other clues to determine where we go from here.

CMF has turned negative on DOW, S&P 500 and Nasdaq fir the first time in a long time. This simply means that money is leaving this market.

IS this a reflection of summer vacation time or smart money is not so sure about direction of this market, thus in no hurry to put new money in the market.

Technically, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are below 50 DMA, again not a sign of healthy market, so no hurry to make a decision to trade or invest.

This sideways market may continue until the week after labor day, so 2 weeks of inaction.

DOW is the only index which is above 50 DMA, which gives some comfort, that all is not weak.

RSI ranges from 46.32 in S&P 500, 46.79 in Nasdaq to 50.61 in Dow.....trading near lower end of their range.

I do not think that we are going to race towards 200 DMA, but in next 2 weeks, sector rotation continues, out of technology and into base metals......

After 2 weeks we may start to do bargain hunting in technology @ low low level.

SO...it is clear summer holiday needs to be enjoyed until everyone is back @ work.

Next 2 weeks exposure can remain low.....until strong stocks are bargain again.

SO......do your homework and keep monitoring potential buys......

Good luck with your own take and comfort level.

Best & worst performing sector / index......so far

This pullback has taken many by surprise, here is a list of how each sector has performed so far from recent highs to recent lows :

DOW        Down 2.52%

S&P 500  Down 2.82%

Nasdaq    Down 4.40%

TAN        Down 4.75%

Russell   Down 7.08%

SOX       Down 8.45%

XLE      Down 19.77%

I am sure most traders are surprised that Nasdaq is down only 4.40%, while individual stocks are down much more.....

Dow & S&P 500 have fared the best in this tough environment.

TAN which was leading all index / sectors is down 4.75%...even behind Nasdaq


Russell and SOX are among the weakest, that is where any exposure to small cap is reflecting in poor performance of many portfolios.

XLE down 19.77%......no surprise here as energy stocks have lagged this TAPE badly.

Moral of investing story is, it is better to stay diversified, where your gains or losses reflects your weighting.

Many are worried that earnings season is coming to an end, after which weakness may accelerate.

Only earnings i may be impacted is on Tuesday before open from MOMO......

Market is full of many surprise, when most expects it to go down, it goes UP.

Contrary investing / trading generally works, sell when euphoria setting in and buy when everyone is selling.

We may be @ a selling extreme now......

Good luck with your own interpretation of this TAPE and your comfort level.

About market, TAPE tried to ignore POTUS remarks and Fed minutes, but in the end it closed barely green. Fed minutes were extremely bullish for the market, as interest rate hike is far far away. Internals were mostly positive but CMF is heading down daily. BABA reports before open, its reaction may set the tone for rest of the day.

About market, TAPE was flattish most of the day and closed mixed, internals were very weak, after a long time negative reading in most critical internal. Some stocks continues to outperform like BABA, AAPL,SPWR, JKS, FSLR & FB to name a few. Selectivity is becoming very important in stock selection. Wednesday should be positive after today's rest.

About market, TAPE was strong and closed near high of the day, internals were mostly strong. Nasdaq was the star, all FAANG participated except NFLX, which was slammed by Barron's over the weekend. NVDA made up all the losses and added some more gains, a case of hidden agenda of wall street. VIX slumped, which foretells about indices moving higher for confirmation of this strong rebound. Buy the strength.
