Market Summary
MARKET MOOD: YELLOW
The market mood shifted from red to yellow this week and is pretty close to getting into a green condition. Here’s why:
Conditions are constructive on the indexes. For the first time in about 4 weeks, the market was not choppy. It was a smooth breakout to the upside nearly across the board (S&P 500, NADSAQ, NYSE, and Dow) across timeframes. The Russell 2000 remains the laggard. Additionally, I’ve started monitoring FFTY (ETF that tracks the IBD 50) and it just broke out of a downtrend.
The New Highs vs New Lows list is beginning to stabilize. New Highs on the NASDAQ are pushing toward triple digits and new lows are beginning to dry up. On the NYSE, the list was back to normal for a market at all time highs this week, triple digit new highs and new lows in the teens.
Distribution Days are falling off. Neither the S&P nor the Dow picked up any distribution last week. Over the last 10 days there have only been 2 and 3 distribution days respectively which is on the low and manageable side.
There are 24 setups this week, up from 17 last week. There were 40 ideas of interest in total. I found 4 setups that had a ‘gut feel’ of 5. I ran these through the gauntlet and only DOCU had a solid score of 7.79. The others had scores in the high 5s. This is a big part of why I’m keeping the market mood in a yellow condition for now.
100% of open trades are positive. I have 3 open swing trades in CROX, NVDA, and ZIP.
5 of my last 10 trades were winners. This is within my historical batting avg about 40%.
I’m planning to start with week with 4 open orders. In total I’m only putting on 1.5% risk. See the ‘Action List’ in the tab above for details.

DISCLAIMER: Futures, stocks, and options trading involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks, and options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses, or can work for you, leading to large gains. If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account.
