Market Summary

MARKET MOOD: Red

Last week we mentioned to be ready for some chop. Well, it only took 2 days for the market to shift from yellow back to red. Recall that what makes for these conditions (red, yellow, and green) are completely data driven and rules based. From where we are right now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see additional flipping back and forth. Details below.

The summary below is my interpretation of the data in the ‘Market Mood Log’ in the spreadsheet above:

  • Indexes continue to transition: The monthly charts are still in downtrends while both the weekly and daily charts are sideways. Each of the indexes have been living below their 10wk lines for about 1.5 to 2 months. They rallied up underneath them last week and paused. This is a not only a logical area to pause, but given the downward trajectory of the moving averages and the near term overhead supply, there’s plenty of reason for sellers to step in. HOWEVER, the rally off the lows and consolidation last week was constructive. The short term MAs are tight and turned up. There’s reason for buyers to step in as well. As far as price action goes, this is the perfect recipe for chop.
  • New Highs outpace new lows but barely: Mid-week new lows began outpacing new highs. This caused an immediate switch from yellow to red condition. On Friday, new highs barely outpaced new lows. The reason this didn’t flip the condition back to yellow is because of the lack of follow through in stocks setting up.
  • Distribution falling: The distribution count is down to 1 over the last 10 days on the Dow and 2 on the S&P 500.
  • There are 66 stocks total on the trade ideas list. This week is saw 1 A and several B level setups. Seeing more setups and higher quality setups has me cautiously optimistic here though the market has a long way to go.
  • Open Trades: I’m still holding KOS (+15%) and CNQ (+7%).

HOW I’M PLAYING THIS HAND: I’m placing orders for AFG and EC. Each will be at 6.5% of capital. The total amount of capital at risk between the two will only be about 0.6% of capital.

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.
