Time to book profit.......

Indices have been on a roll for the last 21 trading days, here is the stat for last 21 trading days :

S&P 500        UP 13.56%

DOW             UP 13.99%

Nasdaq          UP 15.75%

In a normal year for indices average gains are 8%, based on historical average, we have almost doubled gains so far.

Here is another look @ RSI :

S&P 500        59.92

Nasdaq           59.93

DOW              60.42

Based on history, high 60's always result in pullbacks, but more often pullbacks can start @ low 60's also, as has been the case in recent months.

The question is why did we rally so strongly ?

First, we were deeply oversold based on RSI in 20+ & 20% + slump in indices.

Fed was hawkish

Now the above 2 have reversed, we are getting overbought and Fed is dovish.

Shutdown is over for 3 weeks and may get messy again...

Trade talk resumes in DC but China  & US are miles apart.....

SO...all the euphoria about Fed being dovish is already factored in the market...

On a technical basis resistance is about 2% to 3% above where we are as of Friday.

Based on all of the above analysis, It is extremely critical to book profit and reduce exposure...fighting for last $$$ or last 5% is never a profitable strategy.....

Good luck with your own interpretation of this TAPE.

About market, TAPE closed lower and never saw green whole day. Considering all the bad news from slowing China to entire world economies, I will say, it could have been lot worse.

IS 200 DMA going to be resistance ?

Most technicians are worried about 200 DMA resistance for DOW, S&P 500 & Nasdaq...

Before we look @ that, we need to understand how those indices have fared so far, here are the numbers :

S&P 500          UP 324 points or UP 13.81%

DOW               UP 3006 points or UP 13.85%

Nasdaq             UP 967 points or UP 15.62%

For the record all of the above gains happened in last 17 trading days....

How would you rate this almost 1% gains per trading day average, this is definitely not a norm BUT when we have been going down for almost 3 months or down 20% + on average and stocks losing almost 50% on average, an snap back of this magnitude is not out of line.

On top of technical factors of being deeply oversold plus new allocation for 2019, this can be justified easily.

Going above 200 DMA is not issue, but when is more of a relevant question.

My take is 200 DMA may bring profit taking and may push averages below 200 DMA.....

BUT 200 DMA is not a significant resistance which cannot be overtaken in short order.

Many many stocks are barely above their lows in this sharp rally, so lot of room to play rotation.

Booking profit and moving into laggards may be right strategy.

Making money in this type of sharp snap back only requires exposure in market, all boats are being lifted not equally but definitely moving UP.

Finding strong stocks in this rotation may be frustrating as some stocks rest while laggards move up sharply.

Keep an eye on your picks IF you are trading even for daytrading or swing trading.

For long term investors, pick good sector and leaders in that sector, ETF may be a very good strategy takes stock picking out of picture, they mimic or outperform their sector, Fidelity, Vanguard are 2 good choices.

Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.

About market, TAPE was marking time to see how shutdown ends and how earnings will fare, Chinese trade data was of no help, considering all that Close was not bad. Based on futures Tuesday may be much better. Technology stocks were weak as few downgrades took a toll like MU. Stay engaged for opportunistic trades.

SOX to lead markets higher.......

SOX is showing leadership in being the first sector to close above 50 DMA, a very good sign, in good old days, it was said, as Semis GO, So Goes the Stock market.....

Let us peek through RSI and see what it is telling us :

RUT          57.79

SOX          57.44

Nasdaq      54.98

S&P 500    53.52

DOW         52.72

As you can clearly see that RUT & SOX are the leaders.......

SOX above 50 DMA and RUT is ready to jump above

Nasdaq also ready to jump above 50 DMA

S&P 500 also ready to jump above 50 DMA

DOW is the laggard, in last rally DOW was the leader

With SOX, RUT & Nasdaq showing strength, what is not to like about this TAPE..

IF you look @ charts of many stocks, there are clear cut leaders and some are taking rest to jump ahead.....

Rotation is taking place on a daily basis, perfect environment to be a day trader or swing trader, those terms were out of our analysis for a long time...

Please look in SOX area to find leaders

Cloud also behaving well.

SO...it is the technology stocks all over again......

Please do your own due diligence and ensure your comfort level.
