A Wait & See Market November 21, 2020

Nov 19, 2020 – Kind of a Ho-Hum / Wait & See Market this week. Actually, earnings were pretty good considering and some companies are actually starting to give forward earnings guidance. The chart below shows the increase in volume but prices really didn’t change much. The wait and see now focuses on stimulus relieve and political drama.

We’re trading within the ranges of 12074 on the high side (previous high) and 11425 on the low side (previous swing low). Money & Flow Flow indicators are positive as is the Sentiment indicator; price strength is neutral. The US heads into the Thanksgiving holiday so market volume will tend to be light next week.

As far as sector strength goes there doesn’t appear to be a strong dominate group of sectors, though “clean energy” is showing some strength. Technology has improved but we need to see some follow though.

Short Term Sector Strength –

I didn’t do much last week and likely will only observe next week as well. I’m about 50% invested, so I’m looking for a reason and candidate to buy (or sell) as we head into the end of the year. I’d rather see “Ho-Ho-Ho” than “Ho-Hum”; the “jury is still out”.

Have a good week. ………… Tom ………….
