Blog Post: Day 49 of $QQQ short term up-trend; $QQQ, $DIA and $SPY remain in RWB daily up-trends, but there were many new lows last week; the GMI=4 and Green, see table.

However, last week Wednesday (141), Thursday (149) and Friday  (130) had 130 or more new US yearly lows. On Friday there were only  86 highs. T2108 shows that only 32% of NYSE stocks closed above their 40 day averages. This market is very split with many stocks refusing to climb to new highs with the market averages. I have one foot out the door in my trading account. I am a chicken. But the old saying says to come back at Halloween!

 

Blog Post: Day 39 of $QQQ short term up-trend; Much weakness on Friday: more new lows than highs and only 8 at ATH, lowest since April 24! Another possible head and shoulder’s top forming, see daily chart. GMI=4 but Green, see table.

Last August I wrote that I saw a possible head and shoulders top pattern forming, but the market broke above the right shoulder and moved higher instead. I have drawn in another possible head and shoulders pattern in QQQ that has been forming. This week we will see if it is resolved like the earlier one, or is really a top. The  steep decline on October 10, noted by an arrow on this chart, occurred with the largest trading volume in months and is very troubling to me. But our job is to react and not to predict. So let’s see what this earnings filled week brings. A close below 589.05 would be a sign of extreme weakness. I am ready to go long or short once this pattern is resolved.

The GMI=4 but is still Green.
