market rise analysis
It’s been a disappointing week for the struggling market as Friday’s decline dampened hopes for a resumption of its steady uptrend.
The market is probably still in its September range, and in a slightly larger range than it has been in the past two months, and the 50-day line is cutting through all of that. This makes it easier for market bulls to move quickly from bullish or bearish signals without having to take any decisive action.
The underlying trend is weaker than the major indexes. The Nasdaq’s advance/decline line is at a long-term low, but overall new lows tend to outweigh new highs.
As the Russell 2000 struggles to maintain its 200-day line, once-leading sectors such as software and industrials are under increasing pressure.
Chips was already struggling, but SMH is now starting to lose sight of its 50-day target as Nvidia fell below that key level. Taiwan Semi is reportedly experiencing delays in chip equipment deliveries as weak final demand added to the semiconductor industry’s woes.
Housing inventory has been struggling over the past few weeks. lenner (Len) Friday didn’t help, despite surpassing the number of views.
It won’t take long for the major indexes to regain their 50-day lines, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are just above their August 29 follow-through day lows. A close below the FTD low would be a very bearish sign that the market rally will ultimately fail.
The index rose on Thursday despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, but rising market interest rates have clearly weighed on stock prices in recent weeks. Stocks are likely to come under further pressure if the 10-year Treasury yield hits new highs. A fall in yields could be a flashpoint.
Therefore, the prospect of a Fed rate hike on Wednesday could be critical to the recovery of a sluggish market.
Timing the Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
what to do now
There’s nothing more dangerous than a volatile market. The market appeared to be recovering on Thursday, with some stocks issuing buy signals. Investors certainly could have made additional purchases. But on Friday, many new buyers came under pressure. If you hold back, you may incur big losses. Cut ties and the market might just go back to normal.
This was not only the case in September, but also the general trend over the past two months.
Investors should have exposure through long-term holdings or recent successful buys. However, to limit the risk of getting caught in the market torrent, avoid increasing your exposure at the first positive signs.
Investors should focus on preparing for the next steady uptrend, rather than trying to force the issue. Work on those watchlists. Pay attention to stocks that are showing relative strength.
