About market, TAPE did a reversal which surprised most traders. TAPE is very tricky to read, one day it is running UP 500 and very next day losing 500 from high, not a good trading environment or swing trading. Market is worried about many things including trade war, White House turmoil due to many departures and investigation. Conviction and patience with better behaving stocks is the answer until above plays out.

Indices deeply oversold, ready to bounce!!!
World markets was given a stunning economic blow of trade war, no one expected that this will happen, thus a shocking response from stock market.
In any major selloff, indices have a tendency to touch 200 DMA, in extreme cases it goes below and then turn around.
S&P 500 is hair above 200 DMA and may dip below before turning UP.
DOW may do the same, all possible on Monday open.......
Nasdaq remained healthier, its half way between 50 DMA & 200 DMA.
Last week was the worst week in last 16 months, a record rarely attained in stock market.
Most stocks are either $20 down or are near 200 DMA....a rarity in most times, unless we are near a major bottom.
Friday had the feel of " too low too fast "
We are on the verge of making a " u turn " north.....
Except for few exception, same strong stocks will lead this rally...AMZN NVDA NFLX to name a few....
It will be a good idea to revisit your portfolio and see IF any swap makes sense.....
New funds allocation to equities near low is a winning strategy.
Initial target of indices should be towards 50 DMA......
For equities depending on which stock we are talking, talking 20 DMA, 50 DMA is a good focus.
Hoping, we have seen the low or pretty close to low.
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

About market, TAPE although closed green does not tell the whole story, internals were negative all over. Facebook story is far from over, it is being investigated by US, UK and Canada for violation of privacy policies, this may impact its profitability in the short term. Tomorrow @ 2 PM is new Fed chief first appearance on world scene in terms of policy matters. There is a consensus that new Fed chief will not rock this market, i think otherwise.

Indices may face headwinds from Fed policy...
Federal Reserve is all set to meet this Tuesday and interest rate hike of .25% is a given for 2 PM Wednesday.
Policy statement will be more in focus, any hint of more hikes than anticipated may be difficult for market to handle, currently total of 3 this year is in the cards.....
TAPE is still on sound footing, with Nasdaq near its peak of January, while S&P 500 closed above 50 DMA....
Dow is below 50 DMA, it needs to catch UP or will drag other indices down.
SOX has been strongest lately, semiconductor stocks are all flying, MU, LRCX are running away into new highs.
In FANG.....FB is the laggard still, this week may be critical, either it moves UP or falter again....
NVDA seems to be on right track, staying near new all time high and may run away to series of new highs......
Many software stocks are doing the same SPLK RHT are near new all time highs....
Many many stocks to look @ BZUN is in an explosive mode near new all time highs....
CTRP also showing sign of life.
What i am highlighting that many stocks are in runaway mode, every portfolio needs one stock like that, more the better.
Biggest hurdle for markets remain Trade war, Russian probe which may get deeper into the mix.
Make sure your portfolio is on sound footing with many challenges ahead, not to mention Fed policy statement.
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

Dow & S&P 500 to play catch up......
Nasdaq stole the show on Friday with a brand new record high close, Dow & S&P 500 are above 50 DMA......
Reason for this sudden surge are quite a few, some of them are :
-Face to face negotiation between US & North Korea....everything on the table no pre condition.
-Jobs growth of 313,000 was taken as just perfect with no growth in wage inflation.
-Tariffs were imposed with exemption to Canada & Mexico.
- Mr trump is softening his hardline approach to many foreign related issues, it took resignation of Mr Cohn to get a balanced view.
All of the above were major irritant to the psyche of market participants, they all came undone in a very quick 72 hours....never seen quadruple major issues gets resolved in such a short time frame.
Investing theme remains the same, stay with strong stocks and they will come back quickly.
Financials are making new 52 wk highs, but are miles away from new all time highs.
FB remains a laggard and AAPL defying iphone X sales issues.
I expect this week to be strong with Nasdaq making series of new all time highs.
This is a fast moving market in both direction.Sometimes you can catch a change in direction same day from open to close.
Get a quick sense as to what is really working like NFLX, AMZN and what is NOT working TSLA JD.....
Lots of time still left to indulge in new highs stocks
Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.
