Blog: Day 20 of $QQQ short term down-trend; GMI=2, see table; QQQ is below its 4wk and 10wk average but is holding its critical 30 wk average, see weekly chart.

GMI2/6
GMI-23/9

This week is critical for telling us whether QQQ will hold. It remains in a Stage 2 up-trend, above its rising 30 week average. But it may retest its last green line break-out at 637.01. A weekly close below that level would be a major sign of weakness.

A GMI of 2 is too weak for me to trade growth stocks now. The weekly 10.4 stochastic is now down to 30. A value above 80 is a sign of a strong up-trend. The post-earnings period could be very bad. Cash is king right now.

Blog: Modified Daily Guppy chart shows the current trend for $QQQ. QQQ is very oversold with Friday’s SFS (super fast stochastic) below 10. So QQQ may bounce this week. GMI remains RED, however. See Guppy charts for QQQ, AAPL, JNJ and the GMI table.

Modified Guppy chart tells the story. Best time to trade QQQ type stocks is when the index is in a RWB up-trend with all Red shorter term averages climbing well above the Blue longer term averages with a White space between them. The RWB pattern was evident from mid-April to early June and trading break-outs in tech stocks  worked very well for me. The dotted line shows the daily closes. In a solid up-trend it leads all of the averages higher. The dotted line is now declining below all of the averages. When we get a close above all of the averages, and a RWB, we might see a meaningful change in trend.The market’s behavior reveals all.

Modified Guppy charts also work for stocks!! Before I buy or sell, I always check out the modified daily Guppy charts.

Blog: Day 10 of $QQQ short term down-trend; as expected, QQQ found support at lower 15.2 daily Bollinger Band; See how modified daily Guppy chart would have gotten you out of NFLX well before its post-earnings swoon last week. GMI=3

QQQ might bounce this week but still looks technically weak. Last Friday it did have a blue dot signifying an oversold bounce. Note the 30 day average, solid red line,  is curving down, a major sign of weakness.

NFLX has been in a daily BWR decline since May. Always monitor the daily modified Guppy chart.There are 12 exponential averages and one average=1 to show daily closes as a dotted line. The dots show daily low prices.
