Charts and commentary
Concluding segment with scale of 1 to 10.
First, I do want to mention that this week the Apex Trade Alert will be our must watch stock this week but, right now lets quickyl turn to $BITO.
BITO is a Bitcoin Strategy ETF and we saw unusual calls being bought on it.
As you can see on the chart it is quite oversold and is now testing the 200 day simple moving average.
Lets keep BITO on watch for a potential bounce plauy this week.
S&P 500
The SPY chart shows a strong uptrend, with the price above the 9 EMA and 20 SMA, indicating strong short-term momentum.
The support at $542.30 has been tested recently but held firm, suggesting solid buying interest at this level. This area will be our over and under area. Meaning over the 4542 level we are bullish but, under it is where we could take profits, hedge or short.
However, the MACD shows signs of potential bearish crossover, so monitoring for any weakening in momentum is essential. The Money Flow Index (MFI) remains in a healthy zone, suggesting that buying pressure is still dominant but, it is approaching a overbought area suggesting a pullback or sideways chop period could be near.
QQQ
The QQQ chart shows a strong uptrend within a well-defined ascending channel, with the price consistently above the 9 EMA and 20 SMA, indicating strong short-term momentum.
🚨However, the increased volume on selling days raises a red flag, suggesting potential distribution.
The MACD is showing signs of bearish divergence, which could indicate a weakening upward momentum.
The Money Flow Index remains stable but needs to be monitored for any signs of selling pressure increasing. Overall, while the trend is strong, caution is warranted due to these emerging warning signs.
In other terms, the risk vs reward at these levels is not as attractive as it may need to pullback before we go higher.
TLT
Looking at the TLT chart we can see failed breakout attempt from a long term downtrend channel, with prices slipping back below key moving averages. This rejection suggests renewed selling pressure and potential continuation of the downtrend.
If TLT continues to weaken, it could signal rising interest rates, which typically apply downward pressure on the NASDAQ and SPY.
This bearish scenario for bonds might lead to a broader market correction as higher yields could dampen investor sentiment towards growth stocks and the broader equity market.
Concluding Segment on Current Market Breadth
The overall market breadth presents a mixed picture, warranting a cautious yet strategic approach in our opinion.
The SPY continues to exhibit strong short-term momentum, comfortably trading above its key moving averages and showing solid support at $542.30. This bullish scenario is further reinforced by healthy volume spikes on up days, suggesting strong buying interest. However, the MACD’s potential bearish crossover and the need to monitor the Money Flow Index (MFI) for any signs of selling pressure suggest that CAUTION is necessary.
Conversely, the QQQ, despite its strong uptrend within an ascending channel, shows increased selling volume, raising concerns about potential distribution. The bearish divergence in the MACD could indicate weakening upward momentum, necessitating a more defensive stance. Additionally, the TLT chart’s failed breakout attempt from its downtrend channel suggests renewed selling pressure in bonds, which could translate to higher interest rates. This scenario might exert downward pressure on both the NASDAQ and SPY, highlighting a possible broader market correction on the horizon.
Given these mixed signals, I would grade the overall market at a 6 out of 10 on the bullish-bearish scale. While there are still bullish undercurrents, the emerging warning signs indicate that the risk-reward balance is tilting towards caution.
This week we want to emphasize risk management and selective positioning. There is potential for gains, but it's crucial to be discerning, focusing on sectors and stocks showing relative strength. There is still some "meat on the bone," but it's essential to remain agile, ready to adjust positions as market conditions evolve. This approach ensures that we can capitalize on opportunities while protecting against downside risks.
