THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a good guide but when a tweet or news item can jerk the markets around, they mean a bit less.) The markets were higher on Thursday, but did come off the highs at the end of the day. This creates what some would call an 'Evening Star' candle, which sometimes marks a topping point. There were no big changes to our charts, except due to the later day pullback in the market the Money Flow did decline a little bit while remaining positive.[Repeated] As far as the technical indicators go; the Stochastics are at short-term overbought while the MACD and the Money Flow are positive. With the Stochastics this high and such a large move upwards recently, we would expect some kind of breather or pullback to be possible. As long as the 300 level holds as support that pullback should be bought. The current set-up under 'normal conditions' is telling us the next move is up or sideways. We notice the 20, 50, and 200 day moving averages are all in alignment and are all moving higher. Even so, we do remain a bit cautious and would not go all-in or use excessive margin. The Vix is under 14, which is full risk on for the markets. Keep an eye on all the trade news, political, Fed news, and Trump tweets as those things are capable of raising the Vix and risk quickly. The MACD is positive. The Stochastics are overbought. The Money Flow is positive. We are above the 50-day MA. The 20,50,200 day moving averages are in a positive alignment and heading higher.
