COMMENTARY
The uptrend remains intact, as big money continues to rotate through the different sectors. Last week, basic materials, financials, and healthcare took the spotlight, while utilities got thrashed…not to mention Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
Price/volume action was a mixed bag last week, thanks to weak earnings and lower trading volumes.
OEW maintains an uptrend label as well. At the onset of the bear market, OEW also mentioned the possibility of revisiting bull market highs before the selling really started. So far, that prediction looks spot on.
Continue to watch for weakness in your holdings (high-volume selling, etc.) and prune as necessary.
