US stock market getting another boost....

US stock market has defied skeptics again & again.

It IS still early stage of a new bull market...

QQQ has made a new high.....

Once a new high is attained generally It IS followed by a series of new highs.

Let us examine where major stocks are sitting in terms of RSI :

SHOP        72.63

MSFT        68.59

AMZN       63.90

META        63.70

GOOG       57.60

NVDA       55.06

TSLA        53.75

CNQ         50.95

Based on the above RSI except for SHOP all others are looking like a good place to start a position. Black Friday was better than expected for SHOP which will propel it further in new 52 WK high territory BUT far far from all time high.

Q 4 is an extremely bullish time for stock market and may surprise even the most optimistic bull.

There has been too much emphasis on " sell the news " lately where good quarters were given a big YAWN......NOT SO FAST...I say....watch the same stocks take off NOW...

It is important to be with the winners in a bullish market....

Many good stocks which were hyped before have been taken to the cleaners, they should make a move now and perform better than leading stocks in terms of % gains.

Be ready for Cyber Monday in all its glory.....

Good luck with your own analysis & strategy!

US stock market may digest gains....

 US stock market has roared very quickly to overbought level....

IF we pause & digest gains here...It may be healthy...

IT IS extremely difficult to predict when market will stop going UP...

We can only rely on some overbought & oversold perimeters

RSI is the only one I use extensively in my buy & sell decisions...

Sentiment is another indicator  which I use to deal with EUPHORIA or EXTREME NEGATIVITY

Currently everyone is very comfortable with market direction.....

BUT....

It Is NEVER a straight line UP or DOWN...lot of swings along the way....

Currently RSI stands @....

XLF                      70.82

SOX                     70.71

Nasdaq                68.69

DOW                   68.32

RUSSELL 2000 60.33

Based on the above RSI numbers......most are in " overbought territory "

Russell 2000 which has been the weakest link, is also showing 60.33 RSI....NOT a bargain @ all.

Stocks in a bull market is hard to trade, sometimes low 60 is a great entry point BUT ....nothing IS GUARENTEED in Wall Street.....

Keep your list to buy stocks handy, It IS becoming a traders market.....even a day traders dream.....

SO please notice the changing trading environment.....each stocks are going through digestive period thus creating opportunity of buying lower....

Good luck with your own analysis & comfort level.

US stock market ready for series of new highs...

 In last 11 trading days Nasdaq has been UP 9 days.....it was a straight 8 days of UP move....

All major Indices have crossed their resistance points.....no more struggling with 200 DMA or 50 DMA...all have been cleared in a hurry...

WHY all this optimism Wall & Broad street ?

First of all we are in the most bullish quarter Q4, where most of the money is made and year ending Sales & profitability is in FOCUS

October generally is the most bearish month...which has departed for at least 11 months...

Most of the issues of High high Interest rates / High Inflation has been discounted and has seen its peak...

Rally will get its high throttle when 1000 of shorts try to cover in panic and eventually go long....thus a sustained UP move and spirited gains in strong sectors....

Speaking of strong sectors....none other than technology will gain the most almost 3 to 1 compared to any other sector

XHB or homebuilders are looking strong

Crypto is coming back ....

Please put your focus on leaders NOT laggards.....

YES there will be periodic pullbacks to catch bull's breath...being tired is no good.....

Expect RSI to touch 80's and stay there....

IF you are still waiting to be aggressive ...do not delay.....stars are all lined UP

Expect this UPTREND to continue into 2024....

Interest rates will see downward adjustment in Q2 of 2024 which may fuel this rally further.

Nasdaq RSI @ 63.01 is in bargain basement territory based on where its heading into 80's

Leaders in Technology will remain the stocks to be IN

SO

Do your own home work & find your best ideas and execute....

Any delay may cost you in terms of gains.

Good luck with your own take about market & sectors.

US stock market 5 days Bull run....

 US stock market, the-most unpredictable place on planet earth, did the unexpected AGAIN.....

Last 5 days saw the biggest bull run for 2023 & maybe BEYOND.....

How good was the 5 day bull run, here is the stat for select Indices/ Sectors/ Stocks :

DOW                UP 5.45%

S&P 500          UP 6.21%

QQQ                UP 7.40%

Nasdaq            UP 7.45%

AI                   UP 22.86%

PLTR             UP 30.45%

SHOP            UP 35.09%

ROKU           UP 54.03%

These stats speeds UP our strategy for Investing $....

Technology investing has remained " extremely profitable "

Broader the base IS, narrower is our gain....DOW UP 5.45%

Narrower the base like single stock, higher is gain IF you chose the-best performing stock like ROKU which is UP whopping 54.03%

BUT IF you choose middle of the road like ARKK, your gain is still stunning 19.79%

Among the established sector SOX was the leader with a gain of 9.62%...pretty good for 5 days exposure

Investing / trading is all about knowing what could happen with patience / conviction....

US stock market always goes through roller coaster motion DOWN 5 days and then UP 5 days...IF you stay put with most profitable Ideas.....results could be " outstanding "

For my strategy / patience / conviction....results are more than satisfying :

Last week UP 28.69%

YTD UP 102.82%
