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.) BRIEFING: The markets took a big hit on Thursday with the tech sector/Nasdaq really getting crushed. On our charts, we have added the possibility of a SPY 375-395 trading range. Technically we are still inside of the uptrend channel, but barely. One has to ask themselves, is this another dip to buy or something else? A tell? Keep an eye on the 50-day moving average. Currently we are still above it. We are still inside of the uptrend channel and above the SPY 375 stop/support line. ** - Repeating - But, how long can this uptrend continue? The possibility of a consolidation, sideways market, or pullback of some kind may happen at some point. But not necessarily. Positive momentum and easy money can keep driving us to new highs. Note: The Russell 2000 (small caps) are definitely leading the markets so far this year.IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * CHANGES: Testing the bottom of our uptrend channel. POSITIVES: The MACD is positive.The Money Flow is positive.We are over the 50-day moving average, which is rising.We are over the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: We are under the 20-day moving average.Possible market top someday?What about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Politics, The FED, etc.?Some things out there to worry about still! Or a wall of worry to climb as the saying goes. OPINION: Currently we are below the 20-day MA.Currently we are above 50-day and 200-day MAs. (Bullish).The MACD and the Money are positive.On the 4-month chart it appears we are still 'buying the dips'.O the 8-month chart we are in a strong uptrend channel.The possibility of settling into a trading range 'someday' is a possibility.At the moment, bulls are in control with easy Fed money and more stimulus.Momentum continues to the upside, but pay attention and be careful.But, we still say "Use Caution" for a reason. Do not over risk yourself or over leverage yourself.We are still susceptible to large drops or dips.A bit concerned about the recent Nasdaq/tech pullback.Look for trading opportunities that could result and have your trading lists ready. * Be careful if using MARGIN at this time, be certain of your trade! *INDICATORS: The MACD is positive. The Stochastics are neutral. The Money Flow is positive. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (379.36)(+0.35) and the 200-day MA (341.81)(+0.47) The 8-month chart (below).
