Breakoutwatch Trend Indicators Confirm Market Rally

Our trend indicators turned positive on Monday, January 14 and the three major indexes continued to advance on the strength of the financial sector and growing optimism that tariffs on Chinese imports may be eased and the China may reduce the balance of trade between the two countries. This benefited the DJI and S&P 500 more than the NASDAQ which nevertheless gained a healthy 2.7% and leads the three major indexes for the year to date with a 7.9% gain.  Historically, the NASDAQ tends to outperform the other two indexes and our data shows that breakouts are more likely to come from that index.

The chart shows that volumes are still below average indicating there is still some reluctance over the sustainability of the rally and this constrained the number of breakouts we confirmed as having met the 1.5 times average volume requirement. I expect these reservations to dissipate as the rally moves forward.
