Blog Post: Day 36 of $QQQ short term up-trend; With the GMI= RED and only 20% of Nasdaq 100 stocks rising on Friday, time to be very careful; Only 5 stocks at ATH and more new lows than highs.

GMI2/6
GMI-23/9
T210821%

While the market indexes remain above key moving averages, I am concerned about what is happening under the hood. Few stocks are hitting 52 week highs or all-time highs. There were more lows than highs on Friday. And the GMI=2 and is flashing RED. I remain mainly in cash in my trading accounts. I will not retreat in my longer term university mutual fund accounts until I see longer term averages give way and turn down. I am also concerned because so many stocks I have been following have had non-stop advances. Many persons  may have been waiting until 2025 to take their gains so that they will not  incur 2024 taxes. We must be very careful right now.

Blog Post: Day 35 of $QQQ short term up-trend; $SOUN reached ATH again after successfully retesting its GLB; $RGTI has a GLB, see charts

On December 16 and 18 I told you about SOUN, which my stock buddy, Judy, loves. You can search my blog to find the posts. On Thursday it hit another ATH on above average trading volume. I have a position and will exit if it CLOSES below its green line, at  18.14. SOUN is 10.9x its price 250 days ago and is in the AI field.

RGTI had a GLB on Thursday with above average trading volume. It is up 15X from a year ago. I always sell a GLB stock if it CLOSES below its green line.

Blog Post: $QQQ short term up-trend continues but the GMI remains RED; On Friday, QQQ and 75% of its stocks traded at or below their 15.2 daily lower Bollinger Bands. Friday’s low for QQQ, 509.29, needs to hold. See my weekly 10:30 and daily modified GMMA charts; Santa rally?

Friday was Day 32 of the current QQQ short term up-trend; It held. However, 79% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks advanced, compared with 58% of all US stocks. Growth stocks are again leading the market up. But my GMI=2 and is RED for the second day. QQQ, DIA, IWM and SPY reached very oversold levels on Friday. These levels are where these indexes typically bounce. If these lows do not hold, I suspect a larger decline is imminent. The good news is that QQQ remains in a solid longer term up-trend, as shown by my 10:30 weekly chart. QQQ is above its rising 10 (dotted) and 30 week (red) averages. Several closes (gray solid  line) below  the 30 week average would threaten this Stage 2 up-trend. Until then,  QQQ is still in a sustained  up-trend.

The modified GMMA daily chart shows that QQQ remains in a RWB up-trend. Note Friday’s bounce up off of the longer term, blue averages. Dotted line shows daily closes. Is the Santa Claus rally upon us?

Here are the components of my GMI. T2108  is at 21%, far above the levels where a major decline ends. But is this a major decline? Happy Holidays to all!
