About market, TAPE was green and closed near high of the day, Nasdaq was the strongest. This was a deeply oversold rally and cannot be taken as change in direction. Tomorrow is the last day of trading which may reflect IF losses are being booked or 2023 allocation is kicking in. Please look @ your portfolio for 2023 exposure, IF changes are needed, then selling losers may not be a bad idea on last day of trading.

Difficult US stock market continues....

 As we are in the-most bullish week in trading calendar, which IS week of Christmas .....

What will happen IS NOT the question BUT which sector will benefit remains very elusive.

This market rewards different stocks sporadically

Market is still trying to handicap US economy and its winners or losers

So far results are mixed....

The minute you think some stocks are looking strong, then comes the news either from China or Fed and everything is taken to cleaners bar no one......

SO we keep going back to drawing board more confused than ever....

SO...here is the confused take on current state of US stock market....

Based on my only indicator which guides which IS RSI.......

GLD is is the undisputed leader as of Friday above both 50 DMA & 200 DMA with an RSI of 55.99

XLE is in second place above 200 DMA but below 50 DMA with RSI of 52.60

Ironically I have zero exposure in both.....DOW is in 3rd place above 50 DMA but below 200 DMA with RSI of 48.73

Guess which IS the weakest, It was a given ...world famous NASDAQ below 50 & 200 DMA , RSI of 39.00

2nd worst Is TAN / Solar below 50 & 200 DMA, RSI @ 40.86

Based on the above and based on the-best week of the year IF you are exposed to GLD & XLE you are in great shape relatively speaking depending when & where you got exposure...see nothing is a given on wall & broad...too many variables.....

For others like me who are into other sectors which IS making new lows, It Is a long wait.....

Some sectors of market is really really out of favor like Technology and Semiconductors and Semi equipment makers.

There is not much one can do in this hyper-rotation market where each sector is beaten down day after day.

Popular focus among technician Is that AAPL & MSFT must make new lows for market to make a real bottom.....

Hopefully this week may bring some $$ to beaten down stocks to celebrate Christmas week.

Good luck with your own exposure and your take on future direction of this market.

US stock market reversal ?

 US stock market is in deep trouble.

Fed has given another " double dose of pain "

US stock market is below support in S&P 500 & Nasdaq

Most traders have lost hope for any relief

BUT like everything else in life, there is a ray of hope....

DOW is above 50 & 200 DMA

DOW has made a Golden Cross...a very bullish formation

TAN / Solar ETF is also above 50 & 200 DMA

XLE is also above 200 DMA but below 50 DMA

Can we get this Comatose market into life on Monday with the above positivity, very good chance of that.....

Worst performing sector is XLF much maligned Financial ETF@ 38.87 RSI....GS just announced layoff of thousands...just what Fed was hoping for....

2nd worst ETF is Russell 2000 with an RSI of 39.96

Based on RSI of 46.81 SOX is the-best performing ETF in my universe...

Based on all my rehash of numbers.....stay the course....we are going to get benefit of our CONVICTION / PATIENCE / DUE DILIGENCE

Big gains in US stock market is made when SENTIMENT is this NEGATIVE.....

PESSIMISM is rampant which IS a sure sign of REVERSAL coming soon on Wall & Broad St

Good luck with your own thesis and comfort level.

US Stock market fighting the Fed......

 US stock market has only one known obstacle....It IS FED policy

NOISE is very loud for Wednesday's Fed policy statement

PPI has thrown FEAR in traders trading strategy and they are selling in FEAR

Like in life, nothing IS predictable all the time, when you are most sure, opposite happens

WHO KNOWS CPI may be below consensus......

IF CPI is below....party on Wall & Broad will start like magic

That is why...NEVER be out of market,,..,, more so near end of hyper tightening cycle where we are now

Despite PPI and possibly CPI numbers, FED may very well decide to PAUSE with minor hikes...they know US economy is teetering on serious recession....

SO stay calm and focus on your own portfolio instead of listening to " chart laden pundits "

Every chartist or technical guru is so right @ bottom, BUT we make money in positioning for future which may start next week.....

Looking @ overall market @ Friday's close, there is room for some optimism...a silver lining...DOW is only 250 points away from making a " golden cross "

Of all the sector XLF is ready to make a " golden cross " which is only 42 points away

XLB materials sector is strongest and is above 50 & 200 DMA

DOW is above 50 & 200 DMA

TAN is above 50 & 200 DMA

XLF is above 50 & 200 DMA

SO after being down for most of last week, internals are giving hope.....

Based on RSI reading XLB & SOX are 2 strongest sector with 55.04 & 54.49

DOW is 3rd strongest with an RSI read of 51.01

SO sit back and relax, we may be @ the end of this painful bear market.

About market, TAPE was under selling pressure again on nervousness about strong US data and its impact on direction of Interest rates. Fed will announce its decision @ 2 PM tomorrow about hike & its current take on its policies, I expect it to be 50 basis increase and then gradual increase as needed, this should give a boost to bullish sentiment after 2 day slump.

About market, TAPE was in sell mode thanks to strong US$ as recent economic data in USA accounts for stronger than expected numbers reigniting fears about higher Interest rates scenario. Internals were weak. Nasdaq was the weakest. Turnaround Tuesday is here for bulls.

US stock market wants to go higher.....

 US stock market has been confounding market bears and hot shot technicians.

Even hot hot jobs report could not put any dent in any averages....

Bulls Bears ratio is also confused with bulls @ 38.4% and bears @ 31.5%...who could have predicted a total stalemate when DOW is breaking out

Bears are firmly restating that new lows are on track

Technicians pointing their arrows south....

This only means that there is all the buying left in this TAPE....

By the time Bears & Technicians are convinced no more new lows, we should be making new highs in many Indices.

RSI reading are showing many indices are in 60 area with XLB & DOW @ 68.97 & 66.00 these are number 1 & 2 best relative performance

Worst one from RSI point of view is XLE @ 51.43....lowest ranked

This is a market where you ignore the noise and stay in the market with your best ideas

This Stock Market is definitely looking six months ahead and see lot of good things in US economy thus a very strong stock market.

Market has a mind of its own, stable when noise is very loud and unstable when everyone is calm.

Biggest lead signal is " never fight the TAPE "

Fed meeting & decision is all baked in, looking ahead is the name of the game....

Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

About market, TAPE closed mixed while Nasdaq closed UP. Internals were mostly positive. Earnings are mixed with guidance being lower than expected. Tomorrow it is all about Jobs report, IF in line more or less rally continues, IF lower than expected big sigh of relief from all participants which confirms Fed moderate policy and rally goes on full steam ahead.
