Some additional insights from today’s stock market outlook video:
- As a result of that Dollar weakness, many foreign stock markets have been perking up lately; Russia and Australia appear to be the current leaders.
- China is the only major foreign stock market with a bearish intermediate posture and it sits at a critical juncture (exactly on its downtrending 30 day moving average).
- After the strong performance in the last two weeks, the only U.S. sector with a bearish intermediate posture according to the Market Forecast technical indicator is Utilities; Materials and Industrials have bearish two-day candlestick patterns.
- The Sector Selector rankings mostly favor defensive sectors, but it’s interesting to note that Consumer Discretionary had a big surge on a week-over-week basis.
- Our trade application example featured selling a bear call spread on Boeing (BA) due to its continued down trend and its struggles the last couple days to get above the falling 30 day moving average.
