The consensus is for a 0.7% increase in durable goods orders.10:30 AM: Dallas Fed Survey of Manufacturing Activity for September. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a guide, do other research as well.) BRIEFING/OPINIONS: The markets had a mixed day on Friday. The S&P 500 managed a small gain as it stayed above it's 50-day moving average.On our chart indicators, we notice all the readings are neutral. The MACD has stopped it's decline and the Money Flow has improved up to a neutral after being negative for quite some time.It appears for the moment the market may try to resume it's previous uptrend.(Some people are telling us that September is a weak month historically for the markets.) ** - Looks like they were right - ** The longer-term trend was broken last week. Now we wait and see if the previous pattern resumes or not. SPY 425 has been our strong support level and we expect this to hold. This level could also be considered a stop area for some traders. * If you have any questions, opinions, or comments to add please do so! * 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: MACD and the Money Flow have gotten back up to neutral readings. POSITIVES: We are above the 50-day moving average, which is rising.We are above the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: Below the 20-day moving average.Possible market top or trading range in the future?Thinking 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. OUTLOOK: Longer-term we are still bullish, But we could see a sideways range bound type of market for a while.Risk of drops or pullbacks still exist. Increased periods of volatility are a possibility as the markets try to figure things out.Longer-term questions to ask: When will the Fed's easy money and the stimulus sugar run out?Will higher inflation cause the Fed to raise rates? Covid still hurting the economy?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.Look for trading opportunities that could result and have your trading lists ready. * Be careful if using MARGIN, be certain of your trades! *INDICATORS: The MACD is neutral. The Stochastics are neutral. The Money Flow is neutral. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (441.74)(+0.21) and the 200-day MA (408.50)(+0.39) The 8-month chart (below). We are above the 425 strong support level, but our previous support a well as the long term trend line were previously broken. Next step is to see if the previous trend resumes or if some kind of sideways trading range develops in the near term. STOCK PICKS: (For trades and/or investments.)
