Market Summary

MARKET MOOD:

We’re two weeks into 2021 and all 5 of the major indexes (S&P 500, NADSAQ, Russell 2000, NYSE, and Dow) continued to push into fresh all time highs. However, whereas last week every time frame (monthly, weekly, and daily) were all uptrends, the daily timeframe has shifted to sideways.

This shifting back and forth from uptrend to sideways subtley on the daily timeframe has been the pattern for about 2 months now. It’s indicative of what many refer to as a ‘lockout rally’. Basically that means that its difficult for the bigger players to get in. Fortunately for us, we’re a lot more nimble and can get in and out instantly.

Looking to the # of Stocks making New Highs vs. New Lows on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ (shoutout to Stuart for the pinescript for the NASDAQ), we’re seeing more stocks hitting fresh highs. In fact, looking from left to right it looks like a wave! Seeing more stocks participating in the rally is encouraging to see.

Checkout the charts of the indexes below. What you’ll notice is that despite this uptrend continuing to persist since November, support is still nearby.

Heading into next week, we have more stocks setting up that hit the focus list. The pullback on Thursday and Friday, while causing some stops to be hit, also helped form new consolidations as well as highlight new leadership.

With about 50% of my portfolio in cash, I’m ready to test several ideas next week should they breakout. However, my last two trades were duds. AMD and TGTX both quickly reversed for losses. This isn’t a problem and losses are expected. However, on the heels of losses, I get back in a bit lighter. My next entries will be for half positions risking 0.5% of capital. When those prove themselves, I’ll begin stepping up my size.

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. You are responsible for all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to loss. If you do not fully understand these risks you must seek independent advice from your financial advisor.
All trading strategies are used at your own risk.

marawealth.com or Mara Wealth LLC. is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of using any of our trading strategies. Loss-limiting strategies such as stop-loss orders may not be effective because market conditions or technological issues may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of options and/or futures positions such as “spread” or “straddle” trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions.
