Last week's indicator review concluded that it was premature to fade the rally equally long equally the indicators were strengthening. We did cash inwards one's chips a mild pullback early on inwards the week, simply 1 time once to a greater extent than the lower prices works life buyers together with nosotros unopen terminal calendar week on a potent note, amongst most sectors displaying an increasingly bullish trend. (Note: the charts inwards a higher house are updated for Monday's close). As the forenoon Twitter post noted, 28 of the twoscore stocks that I rails inwards my handbasket are currently trading inwards uptrends, vii are neutral, together with exclusively five are inwards downtrends. Particularly noteworthy is the dramatic upside breakout inwards banking stocks ($BKX, bottom chart), which has been a marketplace leader to the downside (during the decline) together with right away on the rebound.
A bullish designing that I accept been emphasizing for a spell is that we're seeing the marketplace remain at overbought levels inwards the Cumulative Demand/Supply Index (top chart), amongst pullbacks leading to higher toll highs. What this way is that nosotros accept persistently potent upside momentum: many to a greater extent than stocks are closing inwards a higher house the volatility envelopes surrounding their short-term moving averages than closing below them. This persistence is exclusively seen inwards bull swings; it was non acquaint during the bounces during the market's decline.
Similarly, we're seeing consistently elevated levels of novel 20-day highs versus novel lows (middle chart). On Thursday, nosotros registered 903 novel 65-day highs against 57 lows, the highest degree since September. This tells us that the marketplace is potent on an intermediate-term footing together with gaining forcefulness over time.
Again, we're at those levels inwards the Cumulative DSI when pullbacks are common. Pullbacks that remain inwards a higher house terminal week's lows volition continue the inwards a higher house bullish film intact. Signs of problems for the bulls would endure a notable increase inwards the position out of stocks registering fresh 20-day lows together with a reversal of the bullish sector themes noted lately (growth sectors outperforming defensive ones). I volition endure updating indicators via Twitter (free subscription) to continue tabs on developments during the week.
