U.S. Equities Sending Bearish Message To Investors

This continues to be a time where investors don’t want to get too aggressive on the long side. We are in a wait-and-see mode.

Both the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq 100 Index are trading into an area of price resistance that is accompanied by a momentum divergence.

I am outright bearish on small cap stocks and the Russell 2000. The index has reversed from its two-month downtrend.  This looks like a distributive top forming.

The Mid-Cap Index (MDY) is stuck between a support and resistance zone. I am on alert for a break either way.

We saw strength in the Dow Transports in recent days with the help of the rails moving higher. The airlines are holding above their recent lows. I need to see if the index can break above near-term resistance at 15100.
