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.

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.
