How will this move end?



With a big breadth thrust.

So far it has not seen brutal selling. That kind of selling leads to capitulation bottom. Low intensity selling is more in line with correction after a big up move.

So far the Primary indicator has not reached extreme zones indicating probability of  bottom forming. More time spent in range might create that bottom.

So far the market has corrected around 8%. Overall US market is holding up well compared to other markets.
The low breadth on the move down indicates possible view by funds that the Europe crisis may not dent US.

It is time to start making tentative buy list.

Task cut out for dip buyers


The markets have had 13 down days and 6 up days in last 20 days. The attempt at stabilization at this level is normal behavior after back to back selling days.

Today the gap down will test the buying pressure. Let us see if dip buyers step in.

A series of buy days like yesterday can be constructive. A failure of the move will probably result in volatile range like we saw last year for some months. 

5/29/2012

The market continues to be in correction mode



Nothing in this brief buying phase indicates trend change. The market continues to be in correction mode.

Weak buying so far does not set us up for a enduring rally. Big rallies start with big breadth thrust.

We have not seen a 300 plus day to upside since start of correction. That indicates low buying interest. Even counter trend rallies in bear market have higher breadth days than we have seen so far.

A bounce from oversold condition

A low volume bounce after a severely oversold condition. What happens next. We will likely get few days follow through to work through the severe oversold condition.

Markets are stretched to the downside and most stocks are below 40 day moving average so time will be required for stock to setup again for further move.

However some stocks have held up well during this correction and they are the one worth having a look.

Some of these stocks are:


  1. pcyc
  2. mlnx 
  3. avd
  4. abmd
  5. crus
  6. swi
  7. fire
  8. vrtx
  9. wibc

T2108 is approaching extreme zone



If you have been reading about the market, you would have noticed many are pointing out , this is one of the longest streak of back to back losses for market going back many many years. What it tells you is lack of buyers.



 Breadth continues to deteriorate and is not yet near the December low. The T2108 readings are at 16.31, indicating that almost 85% of stocks are now trading below their 50 day moving average.



A severely oversold market , that can not put together a bounce for a day tells you the impact of external catalyst and lack of confidence.

Slowly most stocks are breaking down as selling has accelerated. This is a good thing as we want to see less and less stock holding up.. That kind of action will in the long run lead to explosive rally.



A bounce here has to be extremely convincing to get excited. Absent that it might get sold aggressively.

Straight down

The markets have been in down trend for last 2 weeks. Typically down moves tend to be punctuated by counter trend rallies. So far we have not seen those.





5/15/2012

Breadth continues to deteriorate

The breadth trends continue to point down. The intraday bounce attempts have not had much success.



The T2108 readings are currently around 28.92, readings below 20 tend to create good washout. Rallies that start from those zones tend to be powerful. 

5/14/2012

Gaps and breadth

Another gap down open. In last 5 days gaps have been common. But the intraday follow through on gaps has been absent. Gaps have lead to weak turnarounds.

The underlying breadth patterns are bearish.


As long as breadth patterns continue to be bearish weak bounces are not going to help much. A breadth flip from negative to positive will signal change in market direction. As of now there is not enough breadth thrust for that.

5/11/2012

JPM and the bounce

A JPM bad news induced  gap down, if bought aggressively will show that there are buyers at this level. 




In last 4 trading sessions there have been several attempts at a reversal but they have not been very successful. A oversold bounce that does not stick by end of the day is a sign of weak buying pressure. That tells you a lot about the market.Today offers another opportunity for the bullish crowd to take a stand.

5/10/2012

Overall breadth trends are in negative territory



Buyers have stepped in 3 days in a row on weakness. Which makes a probability of a short term bounce here higher. But overall breadth trends are in negative territory.



Previous bounce attempts have not been confirmed by breadth. We need a bounce with huge 500 to 700 plus day for a meaningful rally. that kind of breadth will also need follow through breadth day.

Till then range bound action with bearish bias.

5/09/2012

Breadth is negative



The breadth trends were not in line with intraday reversal yesterday. A turnaround day typically tends to be huge positive breadth day.



So as of now we are back to range scenario if the early morning weakness does not follow through.

Action on individual stocks shows the risk is increasing as lot of stocks are breaking down.

5/08/2012

Stocks down 25% plus in a month


Indexes are down 3 to 5% in last few months. However some stocks had big drops. Some were going up for last 3 year and now may have topped for long period of time to come.

. The Stockbee 401k Lemonade Strategy



Weak breadth during the bounce attempt was a sign of weakness. In last couple of days we have seen the market giving up the gains.

The Market Monitor numbers never moved big during the rally attempt.



A 8 to 10% correction would be good. But let us see. As of now the breadth on sell side has not been really high.


The market will offer yet another opportunity to make money in 401K. The key is to be focused and not miss the turn opportunity. The Stockbee 401k Lemonade Strategy has been in cash since March, that way we protected the gains from October bottom signal. The Next Lemonade strategy signal will be on  MM extreme readings and a  breadth flip.
