Weekly Commentary
Doji Patterns and Falling Volume Imply Market Direction Uncertainty

The major indexes retreated this week in the face of stalled trade negotiations with China and NAFTA, and a continued rise in Treasury yields which hit 3.11% on Wednesday before slipping back to 3.07% on Friday. These more attractive yields likely pulled some money out of stocks, especially as the risk of trade wars and potential damage to the economy continued.

The NASDAQ Composite has been in retreat since Monday and gave up 0.7% for the week. Falling volume on Thursday and Friday and two doji patterns indicate uncertainty about the direction the market will take. Our market trend indicators for the NASDAQ and other major indicators remain positive.
