Technical picture of market......

Here is an in-depth analysis of market :

RSI :

S&P 500 @ 56.39

Nasdaq        57.28

Dow            58.31

How far from all time high :

S&P 500 4.08%

From Golden cross :

Dow...closest

S&P 500 2nd closest

Nasdaq Farthest

Nasdaq above 50 but below 200 DMA

CMF :

S&P 500 0.256

Dow        0.239

Nasdaq   0.185

It is extremely important to do these type of analysis to understand current market trend.

It is very obvious from above stat that S&P 500 is the strongest followed by Dow, Nasdaq is showing relative weakness.

It is safe to conclude that Nasdaq may lag other averages going forward, Nasdaq earning picture may not be as strong as previous quarter, thus more pressure on Nasdaq.

Many traders are extremely Nasdaq centric, which needs to change to benefit from other sectors which has made tremendous moves, Oil, Gold Base metals to name a few.

There seems to be a shift away from retail stocks.

This is an extremely volatile market, which needs to be understood to capitalize on volatility.

This is also a very good stock picker market but with quick focus on booking profits, this may not be a buy & hold TAPE.

IBD is cautious as they are saying "uptrend under pressure"

SO...tread this TAPE with utmost caution and daytrader mentality or maximum swing trading with 1 week window.

Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
