SOX telling us something about market?

Except for financials, most sector index pulled back last week, a much needed and healthy pullback.

Most sector snapped back after 3 day of minor pullback.....

BUT.....SOX is in a tailspin and is down 5 straight trading days......

SOX did not show green even on Friday.....

NOW...we have Thanksgiving shortened 3.5 days of trading this week.....

Most traders and Investors are wondering what is in store this week....

RSI is looking little more appetizing than previous week when it was flashing major caution, here is a look @ RSI :

XLF        69.34

SPX        66.87

DOW     65.32

Nasdaq 65.02

IWM     57.58

SOX     51.72

As you can clearly see that we are not down enough in S&P 500, DOW & Nasdaq, while XLF is high.

Based on pattern and where we came from, It may be healthy IF we get couple of days of pullback.

IF we get much needed pullback to reset euphoria, It may be a good idea to get back in winners.

Strong stocks have outperformed and there is every reason to believe, that they will continue to do well going forward.

CHINA  & USA continue their fight for better trade deal and may create better and better entry point.

Most observers have concluded that their is no urgency for US or CHINA to push for a deal now....

Hong Kong and Impeachment politics may also contribute to delay in any deal making till 2020...

SO...stay on the sideline with limited exposure and wait when trade agreement is signed sealed and delivered, tweets / statements does not cut it anymore....

Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

Are we in a parabolic rise stage in stock market?

TAPE has been on a wild rise since 1st week of October 2019, in roughly 6 weeks most Indices have outperformed in the dreaded month of October.....

Many are interpreting this rise as unusual and rare.....not so.....

IF we go back to September 2018......Indices have barely moved....

YES....we are @ new all time highs in every major Index except IWM......

BUT gains in last 12 to 13 months is very muted.......

Here is what we gained since last September 2018:

DOW.........2.26%

Nasdaq....5.00%

S&P 500...6.11%

Extremely muted and normal run of the mill gains

History pegs 8.00% as average gains for market

That is not all.....IF we take famous all telling Financials....picture is really pathetic and it is :

Since January of 2018 XLF has gained only 1.46% in 23 months.........

What I am trying to highlight, do NOT be afraid of few days of new all time highs.....IWM is still hoping to do it in coming week..It is still 11.77 points away or .69%......

Once we have made series of new highs in IWM.....then we will be overbought.....NOT YET!

When we make new all time highs, Internals are much more robust than what we have observed this time....means too many skeptics and too many positioned the wrong way in this TAPE.

It is safe to conclude that many traders / Investors are not invested as much as they should.....underexposed @ new all time highs means.....much farther to go.....

And yes RSI is not in neverland either, they are :

DOW           75.70

S&P 500      74.11

Nasdaq        71.12

XLF             69.84

SOX            67.06

IWM           64.13

SO....IF there is an event driven pullback.....time to buy strength.....pullback may not last more than 1.5 days......

Good luck with your own analysis & comfort level.

AH Gold UP

About market, TAPE was all over the place but by close we closed unchanged to UP. S&P 500 and Nasdaq made a new all time high S&P 500 Intraday and new all time high & Nasdaq closing high.
Internals were mostly negative which is not a good thing on day of new all time high, market looks overbought and tired, needs pullback.

About market, TAPE was weak @ open but managed to close near high of the day. DOW had another all time high close. Internals were weak and may need some time to digest gains or another tweet of good news to boost this TAPE. So we wait either digestive process to end or another shot @ new highs by news.

Are we ready for minor pullback?

We had unbelievably strong 5 weeks in US market, we are @ all time highs in every major Indices except Russell 2000.

We also had the highest close ever on Friday in DOW, NASDAQ & S&P 500.....

NOW...the logical question is " are we ready for a pause "

To answer that, we want to look @ RSI my preferred technical indicator, they are :

XLF         76.07

S&P 500 70.22

DOW      69.22

Nasdaq   68.49

SOX       67.81

IWM      66.85

Financials are clearly in overbought territory......

S&P 500 also in overbought territory.....

DOW, Nasdaq & SOX are almost in overbought range....

Russell 2000 is lagging, but not by much.....

YES....we are in a " pause area "

We may have couple of days of UP days, then reversal  / pause is not out of question.

Most common strategy is to book profit when any stock hit couple of days of new highs.

OR...you can sit tight and hope that couple of days of pullback is all we are going to get, then party will restart.

I personally think, we are going much higher going into new year...

November remaining 3 weeks may see digestion of huge gains....

I will recommend looking @ " rotation angle " by end of November.....

Expecting December to be a strong month......

Ready or not....a pause in rally may be in store....

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