Weekly Commentary
Trend Indicators Still Negative as Volatility Constrains Long and Short Position Breakouts Despite a winning week for the NASDAQ our trend indicators remain negative even though Friday delivered a 4.3% gain on above average volume. This followed a 2% loss on Thursday, also on above average volume. Volume earlier in the week was also low due to the holidays and so the indicator remains unconvinced that an upward trend is in place. Nevertheless, Friday's strong jobs report and moderating comments from Fed Chairman Powell may lead investors to believe that Christmas Eve marked the bottom of the current correction. The markets are not clear of concerns over a global recession, led by China, and domestic issues may mean we will continue to see high volatility. Both breakouts and breakdowns failed to deliver satisfying gains as volatility swings whipsawed both long and short positions.
