This leg down could be the worst yet. Panic selling has not yet hit. Put/call ratio Wednesday was only .94. Watch for T2108, currently at 19%, to decline to below 10%.

Blog Post: Day 16 of $QQQ down-trend; 29 US yearly highs and 563 lows, 6 at ATH; IBD calls market in correction; It is still the time to be on the sidelines. When the GMI turns Green it will be worthwhile going long again. Check out the weekly 10:30 chart of $SPY
This weekly 10:30 chart of SPY shows the trend of the market. Until the 10 week average rises above the 30 week average, the down-trend persists. Look at the pattern in 2021. Note the close (gray line) below both averages leading them down.
Blog Post; 35 US new highs and 438 new lows; $INSW is one of 4 stocks at ATH, see daily chart of $INSW and how I evaluated it
I am writing this post to show my students a way to evaluate a company that comes to one’s attention because of strong technical action. TC2000 showed me that INSW is one of four stocks that hit an ATH on Monday and that it came public in 2016. INSW had a GLB with above average volume on 9/6, closed below its green line the next day and retook it on 9/8. It advanced to a new ATH on Monday with the highest daily volume since last April. Note how INSW has found repeated support at the 8 day exp average (blue dotted line), which has been climbing above the 21 day exp avg. since mid-July. Its price has doubled from a year ago, a nice sign of technical strength.
MarketSmith shows the company to have a composite rating=98, Acc/Dis=A+ and group RS=98. While it has not made a profit yet, sales were up triple digit the last two quarters, fund ownership is climbing and expected earnings per share this year are $5.03. This shipping company is becoming profitable with a projected P/E ratio around 7. If I made a pilot buy today I would place my sell stop below today’s or yesterday’s low. Any stock that can come through this market at an ATH is showing incredible relative strength.
Note the weekly RWB up-trend.
The weekly chart shows INSW is in a Stage 2 up-trend and closely following the rising 4 wk avg (pink dotted line). It has closed the last 11 weeks above this average–a sign of a rocket stock, as long as the 4wk>10wk>30wk averages.
