Blog Post: Day 21 of $QQQ short term up-trend; but 48 US new highs and 61 lows, and 16 ATHs; GMI=5; critical week coming.

I am concerned that there were more US stock new lows than highs on Friday. In addition, SPY closed below its declining 30 week average. This could be a deepening Stage 4 down-trend, especially if it cannot close this week above it. IWM and DIA look even weaker. However, QQQ closed above its flat 30 week average. So which index is the leader? I think this week’s action should tell us. Meanwhile, I own a little GLD and IBIT (GLB last week).  I will exit quickly if weakness materializes. GLD has been nicely tracking my blue dot bounces, see daily chart. I explained my Blue Dot of Happiness indicator in my presentation last week to the Boston IBD meetup.

The GMI=5 (of 6) but look at how my most sensitive components in the GMI2 are weakening.

While we have had a nice rebound from the April lows, this weekly chart shows that SPY (as well as DIA, IWM, QQQ) still has a 10 week average below its declining 30 week average. During bull advances the 10 week can remain above the rising 30 week average for months. See also the weekly chart from 2016-2019. Until the 10 week crosses above the 30 week and the 30 week turns up, I remain very cautious and mostly on the sidelines. The May 21 Boston IBD Meetup is full.

The GMI remains Green and at 6 (of 6) but QQQ is still in a Stage 4 down-trend.

Blog Post: Day 11 of $QQQ short term up-trend but all major indexes remain in Stage 4 down-trends, see weekly 10:30 charts of 4 indexes and the GMI table.

As long as the 10 week avg (dotted) is below the 30 wk avg (red) and the 30 wk is sloping down, I need to remain very cautious and on sidelines. The gray line is current weekly close and is trying to retake the 30 wk avg. Can it?  Sometimes it does and then craters. $IWM looks the weakest of the 4 indexes.

THE GMI=4 and on a  Green signal.  It is not where I prefer it to be to be long. It is much more profitable to buy strong growth stocks when the GMI=6.
