Weekly Commentary
Bearish Double Top Bodes Ill for Major Indexes

All three major indexes completed a bearish Double Top formation on Friday when they closed below the support level defined by the lowest price between the two tops.  Friday's nadir was prompted by a sobering briefing by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan warning that Russian invasion of Ukraine could begin at anytime. The markets were already in decline in response to an increase in inflation reported on Wednesday and anticipation of 1% rise in interest rates by July 1.

As for the week's breakouts,rising optimism early in the week brought a total of 72 but gains were severely reduced by the reaction to the rise in inflation and fears of war.
Chart of the Week
Following on with my search to find beaten down stocks that are recovering, I'm pleased to say that HRB has gained 9.8% since it appeared in this section 2 weeks ago and last weeks selection BILL, gained 2.2% after a mid-week gain of 13%. This weeks choice is Great Panther Mining which broke above its upper Average True Range boundary on Friday with strong volume and high Average Directional indicator indicating a strong upward trend.
