Weekly Commentary
Trend Models Turn Negative but Quick Return to Positive Likely. New Intraday Chart Feature

In a volatile trading week, marked by rising long term rates and mid-week uncertainty about the passage of the Covid stimulus package, our market trend signals turned negative on Wednesday. By Friday, passage of the bill looked more certain and there was also good employment news, which almost doubled estimates. The major indexes all finished strongly on Friday and I expect the trends will turn positive again when the stimulus bill passes. Just how much upward movement can be expected is doubtful, as the stimulus is probably already largely priced into the market. In confirmation of the rotation out of the big tech stocks into smaller cap cyclicals, the Russell 2000 is up 11% for the year to date, while the NASDAQ is up just 0.3%.

NASDAQ Chart
The number of breakouts did rise from last weeks 11 to 24 but gains were meager. It is suggested to wait for the trends to turn positive before putting money at risk.
