MARKET SUMMARY
- After a crazy Monday, stocks bounce, but leadership is narrow.
- The good patterns from the same sectors lead: retail, food, drugs
- Indices show upside, but nothing yet suggests more than a bounce in a continuing move lower.
- Moved into some of the leaders, looking at a few more, but buying deeper and deeper into an unproven bounce amps the risk.
'Twas the night before Halloween, and all through the market -- a rally. Not huge, not blowout, and not 'all through the market.' Well-positioned stocks, however, moved higher. FAANG stocks were not well-positioned, and their moves lagged. Spooky. Other big techs lagged, e.g. MSFT, CSCO, though INTC showed excellent action.
The real move was in the same stocks that have led thus far: food, retail, select drugs, telecom. VZ added 3% to our position. WMT added 2.6%. KO 2.5%, MCD 3%, FOSL 8.2%, WBA 2.5%, JNJ 2.3%. DATA, one of those well-positioned tech stocks and a play we put on the report Monday, showed very good volume as it posted a 5% break higher off the 200 day SMA. The good setups yielded the good moves, as they should. We already are in VZ, WMT, JNJ, and we added FOSL, DATA, MCD, WBA, and more JNJ.
Does that mean it looks as if the second relief move is on? Could be. Certainly well-positioned stocks are moving . . . well, and as noted all along, those are the ones to focus on. It is rather good to see those are the best movers while FAANG and the like struggled on what was called a 'big' up session for the market.
SP500 41.38, 1.57%
NASDAQ 111.36, 1.58%
DJ30 431.72, 1.77%
SP400 1.73%
RUTX 1.99%
SOX 4.16%
NASDAQ 100 1.43%
VOLUME: NYSE +9%, NASDAQ -1%. Solid volume surge on NYSE as the stocks with good patterns, ones on NYSE, broke higher. That is good action. Finally some solid upside volume and on patterns that are solid. That gives some credence to the bounce working and these stocks able to provide some profits for us on this bounce.

There was not a ton of change in the index charts. Of course not. Massive movement Monday makes Tuesday look like a piker. Compared to the prior Wednesday's drop, Monday was a hiccup.
But, really good stocks moved on really good volume. Any move that is going ot last a bit, big or small, is made of leadership. Those leaders tend to move the best not just on day one, but on most of the days. They tend to have more staying power. For those reasons we liked the move and it looks to be the start of the next leg -- at least for those stocks.
DJ30 worked very well because stocks such as WMT and MCD worked very well. Stronger volume than Monday on a solid move back through the 78% Fibonacci retracement.
SP500 showed excellent volume, the best since 10/11, the day it hit bottom for the first rebound of this selloff. That is a nice positive.
NASDAQ gapped lower, reversed upside on good but flat volume. That pushed NASDAQ back over the 78% Fibonacci retracement. Decent, but NASDAQ is not where the best action is at the moment.
SOX showed excellent action thanks to INTC. It has held the same support for a week and surged upside. Good start.
SP400 shows the same action as SOX, holding the same level for a week, bouncing upside Tuesday. Promising but the midcaps have to prove they are wanted versus the larger caps that worked Tuesday.
RUTX is showing the same action as SP400, SOX, and as with SP400, has to show it has some kind of power. Has to show they are wanted and that just does not appear to be the case now. Perhaps in January with a January effect.
LEADERSHIP
Same story: some software (e.g. DATA). Food (MCD, HSY, MKC, KO). Retail (WMT, FOSL, DG; ULTA had a bad day). Telecom (VZ, TMUS up afterhours). Drugs were mixed though JNJ was solid.

SENTIMENT
VIX: 23.35; -1.35. Never spiked so this suggests just a relief bounce.
VXN: 30.73; -1.02
VXO: 25.47; -1.81
Put/Call Ratio (CBOE): 1.18; -0.09. Eleven straight over 1.0 and 14 of 15. Extreme enough for a bounce.
Bulls and Bears:
Bulls continued to fall though at a slower pace. Bears almost 'jumped' for them. Stubbornly low are those bears. It is best to see the bulls and bears converge, the former down, the latter up. They are, but in very slight moves.
Bulls: 50.5 versus 51.9
Bears: 19.0 versus 18.3
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: 50.5 versus 51.9

WEDNESDAY
Okay, the indices were close to the bounce point per a 'symmetry' view as discussed Monday. Tuesday a solid upside break by the stocks that were set up the best. We picked up positions on several. Unfortunately we did not have them all on, e.g. KO, but we snagged some very good stocks making very good moves.
Now, this is a bounce so you cannot expect too much upside. Thus, continuing buying as the move progresses increases the risk. Sure it can always just continue higher, but that is something it has to prove, and that means a follow through session. By the time that happens you often get a pause then the follow through. If the follow through does not emerge, that pause turns into another selloff and a third leg lower.
Some still look great and possibly worth a buy, e.g. INTC now rallying off initially selling on earnings. We have made money on these before and INTC may pop the 200 day SMA this time. This is a more aggressive tech play. QCOM is very interesting here (earnings 11/7 after), CIEN is intriguing (11/29 before), and VRSN as well (1/24 after). These are more aggressive, not your food or retail. These are still not showing the moves yet outside INTC, so consider that in determining whether you enter. More risk, but they can move rapidly upside -- then downside if the market again spits the bit, and if this is just a bounce as anticipated . . . if you do, just be nimble.
Have a great evening!
