COMMENTARY
Terrible news on the fundamental front was not enough to derail the most recent rally. Non-farm payrolls came in WAY under expectations, along with a slew of other revisions and data points, which is usually enough to take the wind out of the market’s sails and send prices lower. Yet we still saw prices move higher.
A few more distribution days fell outside the measurement window and off the count, but price action remains elevated (5+ distribution days).
Per OEW, the latest bull market has been anything but typical, so it stands to reason that the switch from bull to bear will be the same. Looking across the indexes, some are showcasing late-stage bull market characteristics, such as the Nasdaq, Russell 2000, S&P500 within spitting distance of their all time highs. The NYSE and DJIA price action is more inline with early stage bear markets.
As always, watch your holdings and keep your losses small. Any stocks that have managed to avoid your sell rules over the past few months are probably All-Stars at this point!
