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.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: -3.01% (YTD: +17.09%)
Notable Leaders: TZA TPR AGCO
Notable Laggards: EH GRWG SUMO RUN LYFT MTCH

The market faced fairly heavy selling across the board with few stocks spared. The prospect of quickly rising rates scared growth investors, and my three most speculative stocks were down on average 20% in just the week. My feeling is that this is just a digestion process and we could move higher once this phase is over, but there's still a lot of unbalanced portfolios that need to adjust further. Now is the time to start looking for those growth stocks that still have some kind of justifiable valuation basis.

Holdings: TZA AGCO TPR FDX QRVO LYFT SNAP SUMO MTCH GRWG EH, cash 24.5%

With my cash and TZA hedge, I'm closer to neutral than I've been in quite a while, but I will be looking to add exposure on dips from here.

Hi Saleem,

Bought some speculative GIK @ 13.76

It seems they might have a deal to supply Amazon delivery vans. You never know these days, but seems a decent try.
