US Stock market @ crossroad......

 Much has changed lately in US stock market....

Interest rates are rising faster than expected...

FANG has lost its strength...

TSLA slumped 24%...

Nasdaq below 50 DMA

TAN / Solar ETF is below 50 DMA

Leadership of stock market is in Airlines, Energy....

The above was not factored by majority of traders or institutions

Everyone is waking up to new reality, that old strategy is failing badly

Here is a look @ RSI for further verification :

JETS             68.31

XLE              63.77

XLF              59.07

SOX             50.35

IWM            50.05

DOW           45.24

S&P 500     43.50

Nasdaq      40.18

TAN           40.26

Anyone can clearly see how leadership in US stock market has changed, weakest sector is TAN, Nasdaq, S&P 500 & DOW....who could have predicted this change so fast......

Airlines and Energy stocks are sitting pretty @ top 2 sectors to be in......many cannot make this change as they are too used to technology day & night......

Markets do change, smart Investors & traders adjust or anticipate coming changes....

DOW & S&P 500 are barely sitting above 50 DMA...a negative open is all its going to take to bring DOW & S&P 500 into below 50 DMA to join Nasdaq....

The above scenario is a reality, not a very healthy picture " technically speaking "

Market does not have any catalyst to power UP only Negatives are lurking....

Please do your own due diligence and act defensively, any bounce needs to be sold, any profit needs to be taken....

Good luck with your own analysis & comfort level.

US Stock Market in sector rotation mode.....

 Rotation is the name of the game in US stock market.

You may be very surprised which sector is the strongest NOW....

Nasdaq, Russell 2000 is resting a bit

Here are the RSI numbers for our discussion :

XLE        65.36

SOX        63.61

IWM       63.47

DOW      61.91

Nasdaq   60.69

S&P 500 60.20

SLV        55.09

TAN       45.89

As you can clearly see XLE energy stocks are performing the-best in number one spot, many traders are ignoring this biggest beneficiary of reopening world economy.

Biggest bargain is TAN solar stocks have corrected all the excess and may be ready to move higher.

SLV or silver stocks may be the big wild card now as it is an industrial metal used in many many application.

All base metals are @ 9 year high.

Lumber @ 9 year high

Economy is going to come alive sooner than expected.

Biggest gains have been in non technology stocks and going forward

Technology may have to fight for 3rd or 4th best idea

Markets go through many changes, currently writing is on the Wall & Broad street...it is the base metals, lumber, energy, casino stocks fighting for number 1 spot...

Many traders are technology focus, that needs to be changed as of November election....many new ideas are being floated around, infrastructure, energy could do well.

Worldwide there is a housing boom due to work from home which is being accepted for all time, a shift which has been played out in stay home stocks.....

Bill Gates a promoter of science / medicine is predicting almost normalcy by September 2021 which is only 6 months away......

Trips to Las Vegas, Macao & Singapore casinos may be the biggest beneficiary IF rules are relaxed due to containment of COVID-19

Please adjust your trading strategy to benefit from rolling the dice on economic resurgence.

Good luck with your own strategy & comfort level.

US stock market rotation in full swing......

 US stock market showing mixed picture.....

Russell 2000 & Nasdaq in overbought territory...

Gold deeply oversold....

Silver also oversold...

S&P 500, Nasdaq, DOW & SOX all in new all time high territory..

XLE looking very strong based on direction of Oil & Natural Gas...all in new 13 months high today....

TAN also looking attractive now...

As noted above, market rotation is happening @ a rapid pace...

This market has defied logic since October lows, it has been 4 months of rapid uptrend in many @ home stocks which has quadrupled in most cases.

Gaming stocks like MGM has surprised many naysayers by hitting new 52 wk high in this difficult environment of very little business, but participation is expected to rapidly improve starting just about now.....entire gaming industry will benefit many stocks will jump like WYNN LVS++++

Biggest question is how to participate in this changing / rotation stock market....

My suggestion is to have a diversified portfolio of many new sectors which will greatly benefit from economy opening up worldwide.

Vaccines are given rapidly in USA, UK, India which may change opening hurdles very soon.

China is almost back to pre pandemic economy......

No matter which market, I always make buying / selling decision based on relative RSI...a very good trading tool.....

There are many technical indicators, some are flashing sell sell sell now .....like bull bear ratio++

BUT some sectors are getting all warmed UP...focus on those NOT on market.....

Sometimes minor pullbacks in upcoming sectors in a market selloff is a smart strategy....

Show patience and conviction in your high comfort stocks / sectors..

Good luck with your own thesis and comfort level.

US stock market in new uptrend.....

 US stock market has regained momentum after Reddit distraction which almost shocked big money and regulators.

Reddit exposed the abuse of short trading strategy where hedge funds went overboard and bragged about their short position in media and scared small investors.

Reddit gave small investors collective power of pooling funds to alter or impose their will on stock market.

Reddit also exposed how flimsy Robinhood set up was as they had to stop trading in many stocks and had to shore up their capital by $3.5 billion dollars.

That was then and this is now.....

S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 roared into all time highs once everybody understood that power to manipulate stocks are now in many arenas and can result in huge losses IF not on close watch by regulators.

SO how does US stock market looks now, here is the RSI read now :

Russell 2000 70.40

Nasdaq          67.60

S&P 500        62.15

XLF               60.48

XLE               58.90

DOW             58.87

TAN               58.17

SLV               54.48

SOX              53.37

GLD             39.78

As you can see only Russell 2000 is touching 70 which is overbought territory. You can also see that rotation is @ play where SOX has fallen to 2nd weakest sector while Nasdaq is @ all time high.

This is a typical stock pickers market now.

All boats are not lifting now....

Most boats are digesting gains....

After doing fundamental research, it is time to put weight on fundamental research and be patient as some sectors are building a very long base like energy stocks......

Instead of daytrading, it is time to show conviction and be a very long time investor.

Market profile has changed, good ideas will work big time eventually.

Good luck with your own strategy and research.

About market, Indices closed mixed as earnings reaction has been mixed @ best, tonight its even split between good & misses. Earnings are winding down and market may be looking ahead to change in economic environment with vaccine deployment in full swing. Market may need to digest gains of last 3 euphoric months. Energy stocks may give some spark to hungry traders as oil is heading north in a decisive manner.

About market, TAPE went into bullish mode when Robinhood announced removal of 42 stocks from restricted list, only 8 were left with relaxed restriction allowing BB buyers to purchase 700 shares vs 1 share previously. Also Robinhood got additional 2.5 billion liquidity, all that meant boosting investors confidence that system is not under stress. Many stocks participated with most bullish action in Silver stocks.
