New Year – New High January 7, 2018

Jan. 5, 2018 –  Happy New to all.  Well we didn’t have to wait very long in the new year to see if tax selling at a lower rate would influence the market.  It didn’t.  The broad NASDAQ Composite Index (below) just kept on moving higher, and is now in a rather “over bought” condition (that being above the upper price channel).

I’ve raised the support levels to 6924 and 6668 based on the lows of significant weekly bars.  This is where buying come in and thus a violation of the lows of those strong bars could be a sign of a change of character.  So far the sellers are holding and everyone else is buying.  So be it.  The Money Flow indicator has kicked up after registering the low holiday volume and reverting toward a neutral (zero) reading.  Volume flow and Market Sentiment remain positive.

Not much more to say except the Up Thrust that I was concerned about does not appear to be forming; I’ll likely drop the tentative label next week.  This is looking more like continuation.  Other than that, here is a list of short term sector strength.

This is generally where I like to position my stock holding.  I remain fully invested for the time being.  Have a good week.   ……..  Tom  …….
