Indices are looking quite vulnerable as SOX have started its descend from lofty levels,
As the say....as goes SOX...so goes the market...
Here is a look @ RSI for analysis :
Nasdaq 75.63
S&P 500 72.28
TAN 65.31
SOX 64.85
DOW 61.26
RUT 58.83
GLD 47.10
XLE 45.47
Interesting to note that SOX has fallen from way above top position to number 4 in one week.
TOP position is for Nasdaq which closed @ new all time highs.
Number two is S&P 500 which also closed @ new all time high.
DOW is a distant number 5
Russell 2000 has been languishing as it stays in number 6 position for relative strength.
Bottom two are GLD & XLE.....
Some important reports are
Monday GOOG after close
Tuesday AAPL & AMD after close
Earnings report are becoming a company event not a market event, which explains lackluster performance by many non-performing stocks.
Not all boats are being lifted or sinking with individual stock performance., negative or positive, it is a company event.
INTC and XLNX have done the most damage to SOX, many semis have been downgraded because of their weak guidance.
AMD on Tuesday close will further divide this market of good or bad report.
SO....market is very vulnerable to bad earnings now as leadership has shifted.
Good luck with your own interpretation of this TAPE.

Hi Saleem,
Last week: +2.67% (YTD: +9.26%)
Notable Winners: TWTR VYGR SPLK QURE RUN
Notable Losers: ALEC GNLN LQDA MHO WDC
It was a nice rebound week after a harsh one prior. The bull market continues on, and many of my tech and biotech performed well. I am still looking for stocks with nice chart setups and potential catalysts, but earnings themselves can be a mixed bag depending on how far things have run (see XLNX). Rotation from recent big winners into rested winners might be the key here.
Holdings: TWTR LITE MPC RUN SPLK SMAR MHO VYGR URI QURE ALEC LQDA TRIL, cash 6.6%
I have the cash waiting for the TENB secondary which I assume could come after earnings.

Hi Saleem,
Sold ALEC @ 21.02
Another trade that didn't work out as hoped. I don't have a longer term handle on valuation here, so I'll step aside as the price action fails.
