Only 6 trading days ago, we slumped to lows matching October 2019 lows.
All indices are struggling below 200 DMA , DOW being the-worst which is way way below 200 DMA....looking worst among all indices.....
Nasdaq and SOX are above 200 DMA....which is comforting...so far....
Corona Virus news is getting more and more attention with death & infections on the rise.....
Over 105,000 infected and close to 4,000 death......worldwide......
China Korea Iran Italy are the hotbed of increasing number of death.
It is NOT the absolute numbers worldwide, but it is the enormity, almost 100 countries infected globally which IS causing major alarm bell...
When psychology of fear and unknown takes over, then rationale analysis do not hold water.....
Market IS stuck in ' fear of unknown "
That kind of " hysteria " can take these indices below recent lows.....
On the other side, we got a friend in Central Banks / Reserve Banks worldwide all cutting interest rates aggressively and willing to go to ZERO or even NEGATIVE IF need be......
Never fight the fed mantra may neutralize some fear of unknown.....
Based on all of the above, It IS NOT about RSI or oversold conditions which we do have, but it is all about " news flow "
Russell 2000 has 29.90 RSI on the low side and SOX has 39.82 on the high side...I never thought I will define high & Low RSI with these numbers.....
Most of us are spectators in this fast moving news flow which directly affects stock price movements.....on a minute by minute basis.....
SO...keep your high comfort stocks with patience and WAIT for news flow to go in the background, then only normal TAPE will return.
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level

About market, TAPE staged another pullback due to growing infection in USA. Once we get an handle on infected numbers which is not expected to be large, fear of unknown will subside. Market reaction is pretty much correct as we still do not know the impact / severity of economic slowdown. Until then keep buying what you know and feel comfortable holding it.

About market, TAPE proved critics of Fed's action totally wrong, it IS the psychology and confidence building matters more than economics 101. Those who were telling their huge audience only bullish thing to do is to buy gold, now looking @ hourly oscillators to justify their changed thesis. Stay the course, there is a very simple indicator to follow call it RSI or oversold or overbought conditions, most of us know to keep it simple.

About market, TAPE was down then UP on Fed .5% cut in interest rates then closed down near lows of the day. Fed move is being criticized by lesser paycheck commentators as it is popular to do so. I believe Fed move was the right move and it will show in stock market UP move going forward. Exposure needs to be near optimum around these bargain basement level in just about any stock.

Market reaction to " corona virus "
Corona Virus played havoc with world stock market, everyone trying to understand as to why?????
A little perspective may calm few nerves.....
Market was extremely overbought and ignored Corona Virus in first two weeks and kept making new all time highs....
Corona virus casualties so far is low thousands and infection may be less than 100, 000 worldwide..so far....
Corona Virus is being blamed for market collapse and relentless selling...
I will allocate only 30% blame on Corona Virus which became a factor after being extremely overbought in the first place...
NO I am not undermining economic impact of Corona Virus which has taken world travel & congregation to new low point......
BUT IF we look @ some hard facts......
Death due to other ailments whose cure is still missing......like some cancer far outweighs current fatalities even on a daily basis worldwide.....
THUS...we need to take a "deep breath "
We must thank Chinese Government for taking such a "pro active " role in shutting down cities and completing a brand new hospital in 10 days in WUHAN...all to contain this virus.....
All affected / afflicted countries are all taking extremely pro-active actions to deal with Corona Virus....
All this coordinated actions must / will show results before it is too late....
SO....need to calm down and gather focus in going about daily lives....
Common sense approach like washing hands when in contact with any dirt / dust / dirty things needs to be done without exception....
Good hygiene cannot be over emphasized.....
NOW...back to market.....
SO MANY stocks are beaten down that it may not be a bad idea to keep adding as we build our confidence with this TAPE....
SOX made its turn UP on Friday.....
Gold made its U turn on Thursday with severe pounding on Friday....
VIX hanging on to its last breadth....southbound is the journey...
SO....relax and focus on TAPE and look for opportunity to make money.....
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.
