The GMI and GMI-S are all at their maximum values. 65% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks closed above their 30 day averages. 64% of the IBD 100 list from 2/5 rose on Friday and 20% of them hit new highs. There were 256 new highs in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Friday. Friday was the third day in the current QQQQ up-trend. The SPY has closed above its 10 week average for 29 straight weeks. With so many people skeptical of this rise, this up-trend may have further to go. CEPH still looks like a cup with handle in the making. GLD (pegged to the price of gold) also appears to be in an up-trend. NUAN, a cup with handle break-out, also looks strong.
GMI: 6; GMI=S: 100; buy QLD again?
The GMI is back to 6 and the GMI-S is now 100, indicating that all of the four short term indicators for each of four index ETF’s (DIA,SPY,QQQQ,IJR) are now positive. 56% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks rose on Thursday, along with 58% of the S&P 500 and 43% of the Dow 30 stocks. There were 369 new highs in my universe of 4,000 stocks. 65% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks are now above their 30 day averages. The QQQQ is now in its second day of a new up-trend. It may be time to wade into the QLD ultra QQQQ ETF again.
Please note the disclaimers at the bottom of yesterday’s post.
GMI: 5; GMI-S: 81; NUAN, ATHR, CEPH
Sorry I missed posting on Wednesday. The GMI is still 5 with the daily trend of the QQQQ too close to call. 80-90% of the stocks in the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and Dow 30 indexes advanced on Wednesday. There were 422 new highs in my universe of 4,000 stocks. The GMI-S rose to 81, indicating renewed strength in my short term indicators. Still keeping an eye on NUAN, ATHR and CEPH, some of which I own. These looked like cup with handle patterns and I wrote about them in prior posts. Check out my disclaimers below.
