About market, TAPE closed near high of the day, Gold made a new all time high and a brand new intraday high also. Earnings reaction so far has been " sell the news ". Keep an eye on internals which is so so and also IF stocks are making new all time highs, that too is missing these days. It is called " churn near highs "

Challenging week ahead in US market.....

Coming week is extremely challenging when major technology companies are reporting.

NXPI on Monday

AMD & EBAY on Tuesday

FB PYPL QCOM SHOP on Wednesday

AAPL AMZN GOOG MGM on Thursday

As you can see from the above list, most of the above stocks have made series of new all time highs and are extremely vulnerable. most have been rewarded with one time upgrades or additional hardware due to work from home because of COVID-19.

I expect most of them to beat expectations by a wide margin.

Guidance may not be as rosy, that is where I think stocks may give some recent gains.

There has been too much euphoria given an unfortunate impact due to Corona Virus.

Impact has been extremely positive for few groups and devastation for other groups.

As far as COVID-19 is concerned, it is in neutral mode in terms of positive & negative.

Stocks has to earn multiples going forward.

Earnings may not be the catalysts as everything may be priced in.

We need a digestive / pullback phase for many many stocks which has created trading genius in some traders.

Markets have seen many gurus, whose time comes and goes with each cycle.

I am expecting difficult and challenging time for many stocks after earnings, thus it will be wise to lock any gains before it evaporates, in some cases, it is coming out of thin air.

Until next earnings report, it may be a very dull and boring market for many traders, no more 10% move every morning in same sector.

Market has been very good and predictable which is extremely unusual in normal trading.

For those who may not be aware, long term average gain in S&P 500 is around 8% annually. So be happy IF you are beating this by 2000%.....

Good luck with your thesis about market going forward.

Indices all set to rally....

Last week was digestive phase for market where Nasdaq rested and pulled back along with SOX.

Market was adjusting to highest rate of infection in Florida and other states where infection has spiked UP resulting in closure of many planned openings.

California, Texas, Colorado and many states are struggling with COVID-19 issues.

Earnings are going to be a catalyst to market...

Nasdaq & SOX went sideways last week and are all looking to make new all time highs

Microsoft & Tesla reporting on Wednesday which may give very strong close for the week.

S&P 500 is only 4.97% away from making new all time highs, it should make major progress towards that goal this week.

Nasdaq big guns rested or pulled back last week, which was very healthy.

Vaccine news is a daily phenomenon, overall markets are not reacting to it, it is only becoming stock news or sector news.

TSLA technicals are very strong and many technicians are highlighting for option play into earning, could 2000 be in the cards.......

Microsoft which also reports on Wednesday is a much more steady as she goes play. A very long term hold.

United Airlines reports on Tuesday may be a tell tale of what is inside the head of CEO as to how they will manage through this sudden spike.

American Airlines the cheapest play for daytraders reports on Thursday, biggest speculative play in airline industry.

TXN reports on Tuesday bell weather for technology.

SWKS reports on Thursday, may spark a rally for SOX....

SO lot to look forward to this week, but trend is UP.

Good luck with your own thesis and comfort level.

Pandemic or no pandemic market keeps chugging along....

It has been exactly 7 months since COVID-19 started in WUHAN China on January 12th 2020, first concentrated in WUHAN then in other Chinese cities, it was generally downplayed initially even by WHO...but soon the whole world was alarmed and Pandemic was declared.....

Despite COVID-19 spreading fast, US indices maintained their rapid ascent to new all time high in mid February, then came the plunge in all indices breaching all key support levels, after 1 full month of relentless selling, all indices found their footing and started its climb back above and has been all clear since mid May.....into series of record all time highs in SOX & NASDAQ......

Ironically Russell 2000 is still 16.31% below its last high......

DOW is still 11.91% below its all time high..

S&P 500 is still 6.55% below its all time high....

Why do I give all the background of COVID-19 and its impact is to give a broader perspective of reality in markets.....

US market technicians were the-most reluctant to acknowledge strength in Nasdaq & SOX...always using S&P 500 chart in their thesis......

Trouble with stat is you can show whatever you want, but new all time highs are a real story and cannot be ignored by rational being...be it fundamental or technical.....

Judging from current flare up in Florida, Texas and other places, there is too much doom and gloom and ignoring all the accomplishments of Northeast...NY, CT, NJ in particular.....and majority of countries around the world.....

SO one must take lessons from what was accomplished within USA to get a better handle, even El Presidente is wearing a mask today......

YES it is bad wherever it is rising, but the flip side is, soon it will go down to a manageable level.

Market looks ahead usually 6 months .....

Everyone in USA and world sees a much better economy 6 months down the road.....

Moral of the story is " have patience " it gets darker before it gets better......

Stay with your own ideas and have very high comfort level with selected stocks, market have a habit of thrashing most popular stories quite often...so do not be a trend follower for too long...you may overstay your welcome....

Good luck with your own ideas!

About market, TAPE closed mixed with Nasdaq being the only winner, Internals were mostly negative. There is another negative for market now, Joe Biden utterance today did not help, instead of capitalizing on unpopularity of current administration, he was busy alienating investors, not a winning strategy.

About market, TAPE recovered from flatline to close @ high of the day on rotation despite grim news on US infection tally. Market is dying to get some hopeful news on COVID-19 front despite lack of leadership in USA where it is still undermining infection controls. IF there is improving news on US infection, market will explode on the UP move.

About market, TAPE was under selling pressure after touching green, indices closed @ low of the day. Most traders are realizing that we are deeply overvalued but are playing for the last $. Market is in a topping pattern which gives many signal like negative CMF which is @ lowest level in a while. We have to keep an eye on how we close daily for confirmation.

About market, TAPE continued its euphoric run to record highs in Nasdaq just to prove Carter Worth wrong in his technical outlook. Nasdaq RSI is @ 68.15 which requires booking of profit ASAP. VIX actually went UP also a red flag, CMF is negative also a red flag. SOX also in euphoric mode. Have seen this type of TAPE many time and is cause for concern.
