Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Teeters on Bearish Head and Shoulders Top Completion

This week our trend indicators remained negative and the NASDAQ narrowly missed completing the bearish head and shoulder top we wrote about last week. As the chart shows, the index touched the neckline on Thursday but did not fall through it, which would have completed the bearish pattern. Technology stocks were hurt by fears that China could retaliate against the sector following threats against Huawei. The NASDAQ Lost 2.3%, significantly under performing both the S&P 500 (-1.2%) and the DJI (-0.7%).

NASDAQ Chart
I had a question from a subscriber asking why we send out email alerts for long position stocks when our market signals are negative. The answer is that even in a down trend some stocks will make significant breakouts. While the overall number of breakouts was down, there were still several that made gains.
