About market, TAPE closed lower after being overbought, internals were negative. Solar stocks came to life again led by FSLR. Fed meeting will start tomorrow and pindits will weigh in with their predictions, I expect change in wording which should be enough for this rally to get into overdrive on Wednesday.

US stock market on fire.....

 US stock market has been on fire.....

October 2022 will go down in history as when US stock market rocketed UP fast & furious....

DOW performed the-best...went from a low of 28,725.51 to high of 32889.80 a gain of 4164.29 or 14.49% ....all in one month of October 2022

This is DOW 30 DUD stocks where most of the "dogs of DOW resides "

What happened to Nasdaq

What happened to SOX

That is the sad part of the story......

BOTH Nasdaq & SOX are sitting below 50 DMA & 200 DMA 

Only TAN ( Solar ) stocks has performed worst based on RSI of 48.20..also below 50 DMA & 200 DMA

" what happened to ....world we knew "

As you have gathered by now DOW is healthiest RSI @ 71.34...above 50 DMA & 200 DMA

Second place goes to XLE @ 70.43...... also above 50 DMA & 200 DMA...

Third strongest sector is JETS Airlines ETF @ 65.71 RSI...above 50 DMA

Message of the market is clear......

Nasdaq & SOX needs to be " underweight "

DOW & S&P 500 is where the action IS and could be going forward...

Russell 2000 or IWM is behaving much better @ 62.53 RSI

For the curious mind who wants to know Nasdaq & SOX are @ 52.98 RSI & 54.03 RSI....only above from the bottom

This is what stock market is all about, IT CHANGES ON A DIME

We may get policy moderation from Fed this week in terms of " language " which may propel this market in buying euphoria......

Factor reality of this market in a well diversified format not ignoring overweight & underweight sectors

NEVER FIGHT THE TAPE

Good luck with your own strategy & comfort level.

Make or break week for US stock market....

 Lot of earnings, news this week which will set the direction of US stock market.

On news front most important will be China's delayed Q 3 GDP report which may show slowest growth this year....

US GDP is also will be released slower growth of the year

UK Prime Minister may be in place to fight rising inflation

Australian inflation data to come out which may show 30 year high inflation

Earnings from technology giants are in the card Alphabet, META, AMZN & AAPL most will show slowest growth in Sales, EPS & Margins.....

Non Technology stocks like CMG may show improving Sales & EPS....

ENPH in Solar can be the key for this sector

All of the above can be quite stressful to think clearly as of the direction or impact for stock market, most will be negative....

SO...the question IS.....

How do we adjust to a very heavy news week.....

By staying the course is the-best strategy

Stock market seems to be on the mend after 2 years of downward move....

As stock market looks 6 months ahead....It may be looking @ lowering of interest rates...

Current stressful scenario may turn into optimism...

World GDP may be on growth path...

Thus go through this rough patch with hope & future optimism about future bull market..

Good luck with your own take of current & future environment.

Message of US stock market....

 It has been almost 2 years since US stock market started its topping pattern.

After 2 years of relentless selling, this bear party is not over.....

Indices are experiencing turbulence more frequently than before, this may be a sign of capitulation is far from over.....

Using Fed's terminology, more pain to come and frequently than before.

Everyday is becoming a watch & suffer story as close is extremely weak....

S&P 500 is displaying that support is not found yet.

Most predictions are in the range of 3200 to 3500......for S&P 500

My gut tells me round number of 3000 can be breached easily

I am looking for support in 2900 area......

Worst target possible is as low as 2200.....

Support is far from where we are as of Friday.....

% more loss can be as low as 11% more to come or as far as 38% more downside.....

Bear market can be more painful than what most players may be ready for, thus extreme caution is warranted.....

Look @ bear market from DOW 1000 to low reached several years later after almost 30% decline

Looks like something needs to break like UK situation or something else before we get climactic selloff

NOW to something more cheery, XLE or energy @ 54.72 RSI is the strongest group in my universe. XLE is the only sector which IS above 50 DMA & 200 DMA...technically very strong....

TAN or Solar stocks are the-worst with RSI of 28.99, remember how they were the strongest only few weeks ago......

Be prepared for long haul before we see the light.

Bottom line is, manage your risk prudently, by not adding exposure.

Good luck with your own take on markets.

Are we ready for 3 day bounce in US stock market....

 This was the week when Fed Governors took every mike they could find and kept repeating " pain is to come "

Markets obliged by tanking on every news like rising yield, higher jobs data, higher Oil prices

So we are deeply oversold again......

Based on bearish pattern which IS nicely evolving, we got 1 day oversold bounce then 2 days oversold bounce.....this week could be 3 day oversold bounce ? ..pattern points yo this kind of trend.....

Based on my famous non-patented read on RSI......only XLE RSI of 61.40 is bullish...only 1 sector survived Fed speak.....

Remember how Solar was the-strongest sector few days ago...guess what? Solar / TAN is the-weakest @ 34.41 RSI in my universe.....

The above 2 sectors which flip flopped in opposite direction proves in bear markets " nothing is safe or strong.....based on this " repeat theory...XLE may be ripe for southbound action.....

NOW that we fully understand that it IS bear market until Fed pivots.....it is good to book profit IF we are so lucky instead of hoping against hope...or looking for homeruns 

IF you are well diversified and get some stocks participating in these sporadic bounce then book profit as they go away in next 72 hours....

Based on my universe we made new lows for 2022 in S&P 500, DOW, SOX & XLB ( Materials )

Nasdaq escaped new 2022 lows by hair which may happen IF we open lower on Monday.....

XLE is the only sector which is above 50 DMA & 200 DMA but far from making new highs.....this may be as good as it gets...

Bear market goes on, we must pursue some kind of survival strategy of selling @ any profit

Please rethink your portfolio based on reality of bear market.....

Good luck with your own take on market and your own comfort level.

About market, TAPE came under selling pressure due to hawkish Fed statement and tomorrows jobs report, It Is all about inflation coming down not jobs data meeting or missing expectations by bean counters. More & more Fed officials are very hawkish and they are getting vocal, so no pivot anytime soon.

About market, TAPE continued its deeply oversold bounce for 2nd day with the help of lower yield and Australian Central Bank raising rates by only 25 basis which gave hope that Fed may be see the light from other major Central Banks actions of 3 in a row. Internals were strong and just about every stock participated in today's rally.

About market, TAPE gave a much awaited deeply oversold bounce as 10 year yield slumped and UN made an appeal to all Central Banks of the world to stop raising rates. Internals were strong many sectors were UP. Oil went sharply higher on anticipation of OPEC+ output cut by 1 million barrels.

US market in deep bearish mode.....

 We closed @ low of the day on Friday.

Deeply oversold bounce are lasting just for a day

We are heading much lower .....

How low is undetermined but 10% more lower is a safe bet

Bank of England & Bank of Japan are going against mighty Federal Reserve of USA but failed in changing bearish tide.

Based on current determination of Fed, unless they pivot, this bear market will continue.

IF you have to plan your investment dollars deployment then after 1st quarter of next year may the most opportune time

SO there is much more pain to endure and may be much more painful than Fed prediction.

SO...think hard and listen to your rational self...

YES....6 more months of same same which we have endured in 2021 & 2022

While we all want to be " lucky " and then call  " genius " but it will all taken back with next wave of intense selling...

Bear markets are never fun, because it takes good & bad stocks down with same intensity

SO do not feel bullish with oversold bounce, may be raise some cash or reduce exposure, because 6 months is a long time to wait & suffer with reduced equity.

Understanding of current bear market is more important than just being in market and hoping for the best outcome ......

Never heard in 5 decades that any Fed wanted to " inflict pain " but this Fed is hellbent on doing it....

Stay extremely watchful & defensive.....

Good luck with your own take on Fed & markets....
