Weekly Commentary
Market Signals Remain Negative Although the major indexes recovered this week, they did so on volumes that were well below the 50 day average, indicating that some of the enthusiasm has gone out of the markets and our market trend signals remain negative for each of the major indexes. The NASDAQ outperformed the DJI and S&P 500 with a 5.3% gain for the week but closed on Friday for a slight loss after strong morning trading. The recent sharp downturn has greatly reduced the number of stocks meeting our pattern algorithms and the number of breakouts is reduced as a consequence. Those breakouts that did occur generally performed well as our breakout summary table below shows. Nevertheless, I believe caution is appropriate until our trend indicators turn positive.
