Weekly Commentary
Trend Signals are Negative

The NASDAQ has held up better than the other two major indexes but our trend signal turned negative on Friday as the index closed below its 50 day moving average. The NASDAQ was the last to turn negative as it was help up by the mega cap tech stocks which have a heavy weight in the index.

This was a volatile week with uncertainty over the impact the Omicron will have on the economy and a statement from Fed Chairman Powell admitting that inflation my not be transitory and support for the economy through asset purchases may be reduced sooner then previously anticipated. (See an analysis of Powell's remarks here).
NASDAQ Chart
Inevitably, the markets' downward trend has meant a sharp reduction in the number of long position breakouts, and the strength of gains that they may bring.
Chart of the Week

There were no cup and handle pattern stocks selected as possible breakouts on Friday for trading on Monday.
