MARKET SUMMARY

- On cue the stock indexes bounce.
- A little M&A, a little China stimulus hopes (thanks to terrible data), and an excuse to trigger the move.
- SP500, SP400 bounce nicely as expected. NASDAQ bounces, but not as strong as anticipated.
- Big names lag a bit while other groups try to move up. Yes, but a lot of oversold bouncing for the most part.
- Now, more than two days of a rebound this time?


"It's the end of the world!" 'The Birds' (1963)

The stock indices were set up to bounce, at least some of them, and that they did. The surprise, if there was one, was how NASDAQ lagged. It moved well, gapping off the Friday doji at the 61% Fibonacci Retracement, but it failed to move back through its lower trendline as stocks such as GOOG, NFLX, FB, BWLD failed to participate in the rally. Now that may end as afterhours GOOG announced that GOOGL and GOOG would be under a new company named Alphabet. Both are up substantially after hours. Not really sure how a name change 'unlocks value' as they say, but traders are eating it up.

Back to the market. NASDAQ was decent, did what it had to. SP500 posted a nice move up through its lower TL on rising, above average volume. SP400 gapped and rallied off the bottom of its trading range and right shoulder of its inverted head and shoulders pattern. Moved through the 50 day EMA on the close, looking strong.

DJ30 decent, making it back just base its lower support in its range. RUTX gapped off the Friday doji at the March low, rallying just through the 200 day SMA. SOX gapped and rallied to the 20 day EMA off of its short double bottom on rising MACD.

Again, nice test of key support by some indexes, and when the upside move triggered, they surged and took the other indices with them.

SP500 26.61, 1.28%
NASDAQ 58.26, 1.16%
DJ30 241.79, +1.39%
SP400 +1.49%
RUTX +1.31%
SOX +2.49%

VOLUME: NYSE +4.5%, NASDAQ -12%. Kind of tells the story as NASDAQ lagged with lower volume.

A/D: NYSE 3:1, NASDAQ 2.2:1.

As noted, that was the expected action. The more interesting action is the lesser impact the big NASDAQ names and other recent market leaders exerted while other names, with good setups mind you, made the stronger moves, e.g. AMBA, NXPI, GPRO, ULTA. Energy stepped to the upside as did metals. The latter perhaps are not all in the best patterns, but they are continuing to work on them as they continue their recovery attempts.

Positive to see money moving their way, PARTICULARLY when many continue to talk about a market top. Typically the money would not rotate to new areas, just leave the market, if a top was setting in. That the beaten down sectors and others that have put in bases are seeing good moves shows money not leaving, but instead moving around the market.


THE MARKET

LEADERSHIP

Energy: May be a false move or just an oversold move, but there are some interesting stocks. XEC crossed the 200 day SMA. HAL is rising off the six week lateral move with rising MACD. SLB is the same. Some drillers are bouncing as well, e.g. DO, RIG.

Financials: BAC is in very good shape to move higher with the nice pennant. JPM is moving up off the 50 day EMA. V is in a nice test of the 20 day EMA and the gap. This group is still hanging in nicely. But . . not surging.

Big Names: EBAY gapped upside to a doji, still solid. MSFT continued the rebound. NFLX did not rally but it is setting up well. GOOG didn't participate but will tomorrow. SBUX broke below the 20 day EMA, heading to test the 50 day; that works.

Software: Nothing really new; some moving decently, others trying to recover from selling. BLKB still working higher, PANW in a weak bear flag. SPLK trying to break back up in the range.

Chips: Not a great group but NXPI looks good, and AVGO is not bad. Not great, but not bad. SWKS, ARMN bouncing but not great.

Commodity Stocks: Some rebounding, e.g. AKS, STLD -- and not bad patterns though, again, not great. FCX is just bouncing from selling.

Lots of stocks are bouncing after selloffs, but that does not mean they are buys and it does not mean the market continues upside with no issues. TEX, CAT

SENTIMENT INDICATORS

VIX: 12.23; -1.16
VXN: 15.87; -1.03
VXO: 12.52; -2.24

Put/Call Ratio (CBOE): 0.56; -0.67

Not really enough to warrant any major new bounce.


Bulls and Bears:

Bulls: 42.2% versus 43.3% versus 49.0% versus 43.7% versus 44.8% versus 49.5%

Bears: 17.5% versus 17.5% versus 15.6% versus 15.6% versus 15.6% versus 15.4% versus 15.4% versus 16.5%

Theory: When everyone is bullish and has put all their capital to work, where does the ammunition to drive the market come from? There is always new money to start a new year. After that is used will more money be coming? That is the question.




Bulls: 42.2%
43.3% versus 49.0% versus 43.7% versus 44.8% versus 49.5% versus 51.6% versus 45.5% versus 47.4% versus 51.5% versus 47.5% versus 51.5% versus 48.5% versus 50.5% versus 50.6% versus 47.5% versus 52.5% versus 57.4% versus 52.5% versus 50.5% versus 50.4% versus 54.5% versus 55.6% versus 52.0% versus 53.6% versus 58.7% versus 59.5% versus 56.6% versus 52.5% versus 49.0% versus 53.1% versus 49.0% versus 48.0% versus 50.5% versus 56.4% versus 52.5% versus 49.5% versus 51.5% versus53.4% versus 56.5%

Background: Last undercut 35%, the threshold for bullishness, in early June 2012.

Bears: 17.5%
17.5% versus 15.6% versus 15.6% versus 15.6% versus 15.4% versus 15.4% versus 16.5% versus 16.5% versus 15.8% versus 14.9% versus 15.8% versus 13.9% versus 13.9% versus 15.2% versus 13.9% versus 14.2% versus 14.2% versus 14.1% versus 14.3% versus 14.1% versus 14.1% versus 14.1% versus 14.1% versus 15.2% versus 16.3% versus 16.3% versus 17.4% versus16.3% versus 15.2% versus 14.9% versus 15.8% versus 14.9% versus 14.8% versus 13.9% versus 13.8%

Background: Over 35% for bears is the threshold to be really be a good upside indicator. The best indication is when bears cross up through bulls as the two merge. Right now bulls are coming back down from the 60 level that has consistently marked market tops over the past two years. The rapid decline in progress is pushing the bulls/bears lines toward one another. Still far from a cross with bulls falling faster than bears are rising, but bears are warming up to the notion of market weakness.


OTHER MARKETS

Bonds (10 year): 2.24% versus 2.17%. Back to the 10 day EMA in what is a seemingly daily ritual: bounce up nicely off the 10 day, test it the next, but trending higher all the while.

Oil: 44.96, +1.09. Trying to bounce off of the support.

Gold: 1104.10 +10.00. Finally breaking upside from that three week lateral move.


TUESDAY

The data starts back up and while important, the afterhours news regarding GOOG reorganizing into Alphabet has stocks higher. We will see how that holds into the morning, but if it does, we stand to make some good money on the GOOG options as both GOOG and GOOGL are up nicely.

We picked up some new positions as the market started its bounce off that 7 day DJ30 decline, putting SP500, SP400, and NASDAQ in good position to bounce. GOOG will hit near our target tomorrow if this surge on the name change/reorganization holds. If it does, it will help the market continue the bounce.

After that, we see how the move holds. The last attempt posted two great days and stalled. That set up a better pattern, and now we see, again, if it can hold more than a 2-day gain (hey, just a one day for now, taking it one day at a time) and rally SP500 back up to the three peaks near 2130-2135 from May to July. That again is the initial target on the move and we will see if stocks can be true to that move. After that, big decisions need to be made. We will, of course, have banked some nice gain by then.

Have a great evening!
