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.
