It was a very bullish week in the US Equity markets with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) closing up 5 days in a row and ~6% higher than last week’s close: We are now sitting at the top of the 1 SD boundary of the shorter-term downtrend channel and back within the 2 SD lower […]

US equity markets started the week quietly but showed more volatility towards the end of the week closing up modestly from last week’s close: Although we closed slightly above resistance (and the prior high) at ~4400 we are still within the 2SD boundary of the downtrend channel – so I am not ready to call […]

After Tuesday’s strong breakout to the upside, US Equities calmed down into consolidation mode but ended the week up ~2.5% from last week’s close: I think we can say that we have broken out of the downtrend channel that we have experienced over the past 3 months and may be gearing up for Santa’s rally […]

It was a relatively quiet week in US markets as many investors celebrated Thanksgiving: The SPX is still sitting below the resistance zone at ~4600 that we really need to see broken before the recent uptrend channel can be considered sustainable.

Despite the respectable performance […]

It was the second straight week of trading in a narrow (~50 point) range and below the important 4600 level in the S&P 500 US Equity index (SPX) although the index did move slightly through the prior pivot high intra-day on Friday but closed slightly below it: we will wait to see whether Santa can […]

Well, Santa sure pulled us through that strong resistance zone at ~4600 in the SPX (S&P 500 Index) and US equities closed the week up ~2.8% from last week’s close after 2 weeks of sideways consolidation: now the challenge will be to see whether we can reach the January 2022 all-time highs at ~4820. Despite […]

It was a bit of a rocky week for US equities with a scary drop in prices on Wednesday and poor liquidity as investors/traders focussed on the holidays. However the SPX (S&P 500 Index) still managed to close up close to 1% from last week’s close and now sits at about the same level that […]
