Trading the Trend with Strong Weak Analysis

After Wednesday I was afraid the market might have turned on us, but we rallied late to close the week green, this is our 8th up week in a row, all major US indexes are following the DOW. Speaking of the DOW, we are sitting at ALL-Time Highs, S&P is just below its ATH and the NASDAQ has a bit to go yet which is a bit concerning as you want a true Bull market led by the NASDAQ and not the DOW. What the market is telling us is the big institutional buyers are still leaning toward safety

Not sure that I’d agree with this.

Nsq is lagging for sure - techs (XLK) lagging in the S&P - it’s Christmas and market thin, I’d watch more in the new year.

Past week all sectors green except XLP. - a little bullish sign.

Happy and Holy Christmas and peaceful new year to all members.

Obviously they’re bullish, they’re all at or near all time highs with a very strong Santa rally. But the risk of recession is high and it totally makes sense that big companies are favoured which is what Denis is saying.

I am traveling this week, I will post updates when I can, Santa rally continues

There are many ways to find a trend, and enter a trend to trade it; what is your favorite for this year?

March / April, close enough, Dennis probably hungover, Happy New Year to all, still to arrive for some!

Please add that extra column for 2024, it’s a real memory helper, very clear for noobs and fact checking.

From Trader Tom

Quote

"A very long time ago I got a modicum of fame on business TV around the world, because I was the “man who can predict the big turns”.

Well, as it happened, I was simply just using a cycle that I had discovered in the markets. I called it the 500 calendar cycle, or the 72 week cycle.

So I am posting this chart here because I thought it was relevant for you as traders. Here I am showing the Dow Jones index and the proposed Change in Trend right now.

caveat emptor - as the saying goes, but I would be remiss if I didn’t inform you.

Have a peaceful and restful weekend.

Tom"
