Weekly Commentary
Market Signals Turn Down for the Three Major Indexes

Our market signals for the three major indexes all turned down on Friday. The NASDAQ closed below its 50 day moving average while the DJI and S&P 500 remain above that level, for now. This change in trends indicates that extra caution is necessary when opening long positions. The NASDAQ has slipped 10% since its September 2 high putting it in 'correction' territory. This may not be a bad thing, as the index was overextended, and a period of consolidation was overdue.

While a move down was anticipated, it may have been influenced by the Senate failing to pass its $300 billion coronavirus relief bill, which could have added some stimulus to the economy and the pause in the AstraZeneca (AZN) vaccine trial in the UK,
