Some Improvement, But Caution Remains September 15, 2018

Sept. 14, 2018 – Late last week overall conditions improved, but just a bit.  You can see on the chart below that Money Flow & Price Strength got “better”, but the other indicators remain “Bearish” overall.

What I do find interesting is the volume bars at the very bottom, especially on Friday (the last day).  “OK” but certainly no one was rushing in to buy bargains off of this dip.  The spread between my Support (red) level at 7976 and my Resistance level (green) at 8105 is very tight.  That pretty much echoes the tightness of the daily bars and the sideways consolidation as well.  It just looks like there is too much indecision out there for anyone to be excessively Bullish or Bearish right now.

Looking at where industry sectors within this economy stand (in the short term) I note in the table below are generally defensive or stable (boring?) sectors.  There is not much leadership coming from Financials, Technology or other (typical) leaders in a bull market.  Now, that could change, but for now it goes back to indecision.

The boring stalwart of Industrials and Rising Rates seem to be the strongest areas for the time being.  I’m keeping some powder dry for the time being. That’s about all for now.  Have a great week.    ………  Tom  ………
