An Observation of Recent Market Directions

Today we observed new record highs in the Dow and the Russell, SPX at the time of writing was about flat, and the NASDAQ was down sharply.  This is an interesting signal, but what does it mean?

To start, we currently have NQ trading at AbleTrend support on our daily chart, which means prices may be able to stabilize for a period.  We would expect prices to find support, and bounce slightly, before determining the next leg up or down.

If alternatively, prices continue down through to a deeper level of support, we may expect a short-term reversal signal, but prices would still likely see a bounce up to a newly defined price ceiling.

To put this further into perspective, we can take a step back to consider the story for the market this year.  This year has been all about equities, and recent reports show there is little money left on the sidelines that are not positioned in stocks.  Comparing YTD returns by the major US indices, we see a clear winner:

YM(Dow) – Blue, ES – Green, NQ – Pink, TF – Red

NQ (in pink) was up over 32% YTD before this pullback, and has led the market all year.  If we are to believe reports that there is little cash left on the sidelines, we may conclude that investors are heavy into tech.  Some have suggested that if investors wish to continue seeking returns, they may have turn to consider rotating into something else.

Investors may rotate from equities to some other asset class – but today we didn’t see assets go into bonds and gold.  In fact, both bonds and gold traded lower today.  Alternatively, investors may rotate into a different sector within equities.  It may be difficult for tech to keep going up at this pace, but Dow and Russell components showed us today that prices can still go higher.
