The market did not get rattled by China drop

We are clearly at a extreme bullish breadth levels. Such high levels lead to corrections. Many such corrections can be sudden and vicious. But a overbought market can remain overbought fr long. In a long running bull market such overbought levels correct slowly and then the move resumes. At this stage we do not know how this move will play out. But you should be in a pullback/correction anticipation mood. Protecting profits made so far should be one of the prime objective. The market did not get rattled by China drop, which is a good sign.

  • A series of 300 plus negative 4% days will be negative for market.
  • The #of stocks up 25% in a quarter going below 200 would be bearish
  • So far we have not seen these things.
  • So breadth is showing you a good bull market currently.
  • Which is getting reflected in our trading.
