Upward Continues December 7, 2019

Dec. 6, 2019 – And so the upward move continues.  A test of the lower trend line (via negative China trade news), then back up.  This shows that the markets are factoring in some type of “trade deal”; maybe not the whole thing, but something.  Interesting that small cap and mid cap stocks came alive over the past week; generally a positive sign.  Now with earnings season well behind us the focus will be on trade and retail sales for the holiday season.  If either disappoints . . . . well we now have a taste of the result.  It will be sharp & swift.

In the mean time one must follow the trend and it continues to be upward.  Call me skeptical, but I remain an uneasy long investor in here.  Part of my logic is that we’re closer to the top (likely) than we are to the bottom.  The regular chart is back and the software upgrade issue has been resolved.  🙂   (click on chart to enlarge)

I’ve moved the Resistance (at 8705) and Support (8542) levels tighter to try and be responsive to any negative news.  IF these levels are violated on the Close that would confirm a possible trend change or correction.  Until then, the other indicators are positive and we go with the current trend.  Let’s look at the percentage of stocks in the broad S&P 1500 index and see where they stand.

That’s it for now.  Have a good week.   …….  Tom  ……..
