Blog Post: Day 13 of $QQQ short term down-trend; IBD calls market back in confirmed up-trend after follow through day; My 10:30 weekly charts show $QQQ and $SPY still in Stage 2 up-trends, see charts and list of 21 stocks with weekly green bar

GMI-24/9
T210821%

Note that the 10 week average remains above the 30 week average. I am looking for this ETF to climb back above its 10 week average and for that average to turn up. For now, I remain partially invested in growth mutual funds in my university pension accounts. The gray line tracks the weekly closes.

SPY is a little weaker.

These 21 stocks had a weekly green bar last week (recent ATH and 4wk>10wk>30wk and bounced up off of rising 4 wk and 20 wk high in RS) and are worth monitoring. They are sorted by price/lowest price past 250 days.

 

The GMI= 2 (of 6) and is still RED.

Vas, from @TCLTrader, comes to my class each year to teach his technical analysis based on the works of Al Brooks. Vas draws trend channel lines, TCLs,  below a down-trend as I have drawn in the daily chart below. It is amazing how some TCLs predict in advance exactly where support or resistance occurs. You can learn Vas’ techniques by attending  online the Northern Virginia IBD monthly MeetUps. The blue arrows designate the sentiment survey (% saying QQQ will rise near term) from my weekly undergraduate class.

Blog Post: Day 11 of $QQQ short term down-trend; Put/call ratio=1.31 and T2108 hit 12.6 daily low–tradable oversold bounce likely as earnings are released next week; see also my list of 6 stocks hitting an ATH on Wednesday and weekly chart of $SKWD

The unusually high put/call ratio, the low T2108 value, plus the fact that earnings are coming next week suggest to me that we are about to experience a meaningful bounce. 89% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks rose on Wednesday, the highest percentage since August 29 (91%). These 6 stocks on my IBD/MS recent watchlist hit an ATH on Wednesday. They are sorted by price/lowest price last 250 days. SKWD has no value (…) because it is a recent IPO. See its promising weekly chart below.
