Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Bearish Double Top Continues

Although the NASDAQ made a modest gain this week of 0.9%, it remains below the Double Top support level and so the bearish double top pattern remains in place. Our trend indicator for the index, and indeed that of the S&P 500 and DJI, continues to be negative.

Trade issues continue to dominate market sentiment. At the beginning of the week 28 Chinese companies were put on a blacklist that blocks them from doing business with U.S. companies without a special license. This was followed by indications that trade talks were going well and the markets surged on Friday with the announcement of Stage one of a trade deal. Details were scant, however, and it seems possible that the markets were suckered again into believing progress is being made.
