about 1 year ago by Dr. Duru Diagnoses Markets @ Dr. Duru Diagnoses Markets

Today was a "day of the fade" where I saw an increasing number of stocks going quickly from excited buying after an earnings report to a mad scramble to sell and exit positions. This kind of reversal is generally bearish and suggests follow-through selling is on the way. The bearish implications are even worse when the general market is in a bullish mood.For more market narratives, hit the subscribe button and check me out at www.drduru.com/onetwentytwoStocks and indices covered: S&P 500 ($SPY), NASDAQ ($COMPQ), iShares Russell 2000 ETF ($IWM) Rivian ($RIVN), Maplebear ($CART), Veracyte ($VCYT), The ODP Corporation ($ODP), Sage Therapeutics ($SAGE)

Stock Market Internals Deteriorate, Generating Lower Price Targets For Indices
about 1 year ago by Guy Cerundolo @ See It Market

The stock market is under duress and internal breadth readings are deteriorating. Earlier this week, the S&P 500 Index closed below the MFU-3 price level of 4211, signaling the MFU-4 price target of 4079 is in play.

about 1 year ago by StockCharts TV @ StockCharts.com YouTube Channel

Bruce Fraser reviews secular trend charts for the major indexes. These secular bull market uptrends are more than a decade in duration.
