I am not a chaser of momentum as I continue to see the stock market indices in areas that we don’t want to be chasing.
Two important observations from Tuesday’s price action:
1). The Nasdaq Composite has achieved its MFU-4 target at 9345 which we have been highlighting for some time.
2). I see a shift starting in Momentum (MTUM) vs. Value (SPLV).
This looks like the start of a pullback in MTUM.
The S&P 500 Index had a gap higher on Tuesday and stopped at its 200-day moving average and ellipse area.
The Nasdaq Composite also had a strong rally and achieved its MFU-4 target at 9345. This would be a good area to look for a pause/pullback.
Both the Russell 2000 (IWM) and Mid-Cap (MDY), which have lagged, had a strong move up with the MDY gapping to its 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
