Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Crashes Through a Bearish Double-Top Support Level

On Tuesday the NASDAQ crashed through the support level between the two double tops shown in the chart. When a double top forms, the support level is the low between the two tops. The pattern is considered completed when the price falls below the support level and is considered to be a very bearish signal. While trade negotiations continue unresolved, and possibly complicated by uncertainty during the impeachment inquiry, the markets must additionally contend with political uncertainty as well as the ongoing Iranian situation and weakening in world markets, especially Europe. A further complication arose on Friday when Bloomberg reported that the administration may curb investment flows into China and de-list Chinese companies on US exchanges. The week closed with the NASDAQ shedding 2.2%.

The downturn limited the number of breakout stocks to just 6 from the cup and handle pattern with only modest gains resulting.

Our trend indicators remain positive, and the economy remains strong, but there are increasing reasons to be cautious.
