MARKET SUMMARY
- Stocks get more upside help from the Fed, trade possibilities.
- Instead of another pause into the weekend, the news fuels more
upside and pushes indices to next resistance.
- Some really solid moves on the week leave less positions to consider
for next week. A pause Monday and Tuesday would cure that . . .
- Still waiting on Trump/Xi meeting resolution, but based upon the
likely outcome it likely won't add much more as the market has priced in
expectations for some minor deal.
- Would not be surprised to see the indices pause to start the week
given a lot of good news is build into the past week's move.
Friday the market did not give us the perfect setup; as noted Thursday, it
often does not. That does not mean it was a bad session. Hardly. The
indices rallied nicely.
What we wanted, however, was another pause following Thursday's sluggish
session, a pause to better setup a new move higher in the coming week to
continue the move with a new breakout.
Stocks did start lower pre-market and by the open improved but were still
mixed and near the flat line. The problem was the Fed was active again.
Wednesday Powell confirmed the Fed-speak of the Fed vice chair Clarinda,
i.e. that the FFR was just below neutral. Friday the New York Fed
reiterated the FFR was not far from neutral and indeed the FFR was to remain
'low.' Okay, the top three on the Fed all agreeing rates were near neutral,
meaning quite limited upside in terms of more rate hikes. Ultra-ultra Fed
dove Kashkari also threw in that the Fed should not hike rates when job
creation is strong and inflation tame. What more could you want?
How about the administration suggesting a US/China trade deal Saturday was a
done deal. Mr. Lighthizer, a White House advisor who has been very negative
about the possibility of a deal, stated he would be 'surprised' if the
Trump/Xi dinner was not a success. Okay, so even the negative folks were
pushing for a deal.
The market, of course, liked it. Stocks opened, rallied, tested into
midday, then sprinted higher to the close. Volume surged, but it was month
end and stocks had posted quite a rebound. Thus there was some position
shuffling to take place before the new month.
SP500 22.41, 0.82%
NASDAQ 57.46, 0.79%
DJ30 199.62, 0.79%
SP400 0.64%
RUTX 0.52%
SOX 1.49%
NASDAQ 100 0.82%
VOLUME: NYSE +90%, NASDAQ +26%. NASDAQ back to just over average, NYSE
surging to the highest since expiration in September. Beginning of the
month, a rally that the big money did not expect, and now a lot of money
getting put to work suddenly.
ADVANCE/DECLINE: NYSE +1.2:1, NASDAQ +1.2:1. Puny breadth, more a large
cap session. Nothing new there.
There was more news that proved perhaps helpful.
China's PMI came in at a 29 month low. It just keeps getting better and
better for China as the Shanghai index tests the early 2016 lows after an 11
month selloff.
The move pushed the indices higher, pushing the indices into resistance.
DJ30 at the 50 day SMA. SP500 rallied to the 200 day SMA. NASDAQ moved
closer to the 50 day EMA up at 7400 (70 points higher). SOX is at the 50
day EMA. SP400 pushed closer to the 50 day SMA, RUTX held more or less
steady just over the 20 day EMA.
Big name 'Dow-type' stocks enjoyed solid moves, e.g. big drugs, VZ, PEP,
CAT, AXP, HD. Other big names as well, e.g. INTC, and a bevvy of software
stocks such as DATA hitting our target.
Again, there was no pause as the move took a one-day breather and renewed
the upside. That leaves the large cap indices moving into next week at
resistance. Oh well, the market moved on good news. The yearend rally is
showing good strength. Good stocks are moving quite well. The setup for
the continuing rally remains solid as many are now waking up and realizing
the market got what it wanted from the Fed, and most were not looking at the
good patterns as we were and picked up some great positions right at the
start of the move. Now they are buying and driving our positions higher.
That works, though we would have preferred to get the lateral move and set
up new buys. With the continued move upside that leaves fewer entries as
the week starts, but that may change if we get a little pause Monday and
Tuesday.
THE MARKET
CHARTS
DJ30: Upside 4 of 5 sessions, moving off the Thursday doji up to just below
the 50 day SMA. Solid double bottom bounce but now at some resistance.
Lots of good news built into the move (Fed, trade) and a 1250 point move on
the week. It would appear DJ30 needs to rest a bit, but with a yearend
rally the moves are not necessarily standard.
SP500: Also rallied off the Thursday doji, moving higher to close just below
the 200 day SMA, a significant resistance point. Four of five sessions
upside here as well. Basically the same pattern as DJ30 in application,
i.e. the double bottom rally up to a resistance point.
NASDAQ: Continued higher Friday off a Thursday pause, moving closer toward
the 50 day EMA. The big upside days were Monday and Wednesday while
Thursday and Friday were more a coast upside. A bit of slower trade here
leaves NASDAQ with some more room to rally though both 50 day MA's and the
200 day SMA overhead for the next 175 or so points.
SOX: Very similar to NASDAQ in terms of approaching the 50 day MA's though
a bit closer after the Friday rally. Chips are improved with many having
put in longer bases and SOX' pattern is better itself. Still, it is more in
a position of having to prove it can make the break over the 50 day MA and
rally to that early October gap lower at 1300 (closed at 1240ish).
SP400: Similar to SOX in its pattern of the past three months, moving up
near the 50 day MA's where it failed in early November. Put in a higher low
the third week in November, bounced off that, but at this point is still a
follower not a leader.
RUTX: Off the double bottom, moving through the 20 day EMA, but not much
more than that. Kind of a SOX pattern, just not at the 50 day MA's yet.
Follower.
LEADERSHIP
Drugs: Strong week for big names and some smaller issues look better. LLY,
ABT, PFE very solid. Biotech is also moving, with some large caps (BIIB,
AMGN, ILMN) working well. Smaller are getting a bit better but need work.
Software: Some nice moves for sure, e.g. DATA, VMW, CRM, TEAM. The latter
two had earnings and we did not want to get in on that. DATA hit our target
Friday already.
Food: Still chomping. PEP, KO surged Friday. MCD faded Friday but a solid
week overall. CMG struggled Friday but recovered well enough. MKC continues
to recover off the test the prior week. Still eating, still a group seen as
protection for a slowing economy.
Transports: Airlines surged on the week as SAVE reported good results and
all went higher. Rails are actually setting up some, e.g. KSU, NSC. Trucks
are trying to set up bottoms but are not there just yet.
Retail: Very mixed, most struggling. COST, ROST, BBY, WSM. AMZN bounced on
the week to the 200 day SMA.
Chips: Some good moves, some. ON broke higher late week. XLNX continued
to a higher high. LRCX showed good upside action. AMD, AMAT set up very
well.
Telecom: If you mean VZ, then yes it is doing fine.
SCAANN: SQ languishing in a non-move. CRM gapped on earnings Wednesday.
AMZN at the 200 day SMA after a week of upside. AAPL testing 2 days, in
good position to bounce. NFLX up to the 20 day EMA and showing a doji after
a bounce on the week. NVDA bounced to the 10 day EMA. None look awesome
though AAPL is due to continue its move higher after this short test -- wish
the rest of the market would have done this.
Metals: Basically crappy but FCX is one to watch.
China: Good end to the week in anticipation of a US/China deal. BABA
jumped nicely as did QIWI. SOHU still looks good, still looking for SOHU to
make good.

Bulls and Bears:
A second week below 40 as bulls slide a bit more in what is a precipitous
drop. Maybe not into the low thirties, but the magnitude and angle of
decline was enough to contribute to the bounce. Bears move over 20 for the
first time since early 2018. Significant as well.
Bulls: 38.3 versus 39.6
Bears: 20.6 versus 19.8
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.

hold there but thus far showing no other signs of bouncing back up to break
the trend.
Gold: 1220.20, -3.90.
MONDAY
Still waiting on the outcome of the Trump/Xi dinner after the G-20
conclusion and whether we will be 'surprised' by no deal or a deal as we are
told will occur. Frankly, the deal would likely be a cessation of
hostilities to a certain extent, though that does not really help the US,
just gives China a chance to save some face and perhaps then the sides come
up with a real deal that addresses the real issues.
If it is a sweeping deal the market could surge on the news, but after 5
days up, how much more and what kind of test afterward? If it is not a
sweeping deal, that is likely already built into the move into the Friday
close. Thus, it would not add much more nor would it detract.
We will have to see, but for now the indices have moved up to next
resistance on a week of upside. We wanted a pause Friday into Monday, but
didn't happen. Now we see if that occurs to start the week then takes back
upside.
In any event, outside a letdown from Xi/Trump we anticipate the market to
continue the yearend move either without a rest or taking that rest. Thus,
we will continue looking at upside plays.
Have a great weekend!
