Pre-Market Update: The market followed a similar pattern on Thursday, as the major indices were mixed with continued divergence between the blue-chips and tech. The rotation has punished momentum stocks that aren’t in the mix, which is either a sign of continued weakness or a buying opportunity.

Pre-Market Update: The market finished mixed on Wednesday despite getting off to a good start. Oil rose as OPEC decided to cut production, but it ran into key resistance levels at $49-$50. Economic news has been good of late, and traders are anxiously looking ahead to tomorrow’s jobs report.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls returned to their winning ways on Tuesday following some opening weakness, as the market finished mostly higher. The small-caps slacked, but tech tapped another all-time intraday high. Today’s action could see wider swings as a result of OPEC’s decision and the subsequent reaction in oil prices to a possible cut in production.

Pre-Market Update: The bears made a brief appearance on Monday following three weeks of hibernation, but they did little damage in their efforts to slow the momentum. The small-caps had their 15-session win streak halted, although the pullback held rising support and last Monday’s levels. The close off of the lows was slightly bullish, but volatility rose to a level that needs to be respected.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls kept their post-election momentum going on Friday, as the market closed higher for the third-straight week. With three trading days left in the month of November and the bears still in hibernation, record highs are still possible, as fund managers will be forced to chase as they come back from a holiday week.

Pre-Market Update: The market continued its traditional Thanksgiving rally this week, as the major indices pushed record highs again on Wednesday. Tech was a little slack, but the small-caps extended their winning streak to 14-straight. Today’s half-session is expected to be flat, as volume will be light and much of Wall Street will be taking extended vacations.

Pre-Market Update: The market enjoyed another banner day on Tuesday, as all of the major indices continued their assault on all-time highs. With my fluff targets now in play, all we have to do is try and relax during the Thanksgiving action. Trading will likely be light today ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, but we will still be watching for warning signs of a market top while we nibble on bullish positions.

Pre-Market Update: The market continued its run to record highs yesterday, as the bulls got off to another good start for the week. I have been talking about the early hibernation by the bears into December and, with volatility falling below a key level of support, this week looks “all clear” to stay long.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls started last week on another high note, with the Russell 2000 joining the Dow in setting fresh 52-week peaks. However, the divergence continued, as the broader market and tech showed weakness. The bears tried their best against rising support, but they struggled for back-to-back sessions.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls continued their thirst for higher highs, with the small-caps leading Thursday’s pack. The financial stocks showed strength again, which put the bears back on defense. Wall Street might be hesitant to go long over the weekend, but my current outlook shows blue-sky territory now continuing into the first week of December.

Pre-Market Update: The talking heads were finally patting themselves on the back yesterday, as they blamed Wednesday’s “pullback” on a market that had gone too high, too fast. However, that theory was broken by last Friday’s close. In reality, the market was split and closed mixed, with tech continuing its rebound. The financial stocks held the bulls from what would likely have been clean sweep, but momentum is still on their side.

Pre-Market Update: This week’s morning choppiness continued on Tuesday, and the market moved within a narrower trading range for much of the session. However, momentum picked up in the afternoon, led by the Nasdaq, and the Dow extended its win streak to seven-straight sessions. Higher highs continue to appear to be on the horizon, and volatility is also relaxing.

Pre-Market Update: The market was mixed during much of Monday’s action, as both the bulls and bears split the session. Some of the baby bulls showed up to push the financial stocks to fresh highs, but the bigger story was the small-caps, which tapped a fresh all-time peak.

Pre-Market Update: The market was oversold as it came into last week following a two-week pullback and backtest to the major moving averages. While a rebound was nearly a given on a Hillary Clinton win, a Donald Trump presidency wasn’t, and that caught Wall Street off guard.

Pre-Market Update: The Dow surged to all-time highs on Thursday despite the pullback in tech. The action has caught Wall Street off guard, as most thought a selloff would occur as a result of a Trump presidency, but they were wrong. More follow-through today would be bullish for next week.

Pre-Market Update: The market shrugged off a rocky start and some overnight jitters to push higher highs and additional layers of resistance yesterday, registering its third-straight win. The gains helped put all-time highs back in reach, and the VIX closed below 15 for the first time since late October.

Pre-Market Update: Despite a slow start to the session, the bulls got their second-straight win on Tuesday. The slight dip on the open was a simple backtest to fresh support and one that was expected following Monday’s huge rally. The rebound to higher highs was also a given, with the bears holding resistance ahead of the presidential election.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls registered their best session since March following Monday’s blowout rally, which put an end to a nine-session slide. The bears were caught off guard, and they gave back more than half of the losses over that time period, but they still hold an edge as additional layers of resistance come into play.

Pre-Market Update: The bears pushed lower lows to end last month, and November also started off weak, with a break below the October lows ahead of the Fed news mid-week. The zombies’ decision to leave interest rates unchanged was certainly not a shocker from a hand that has been read worse than a fish at a poker table filled with sharks.

Pre-Market Update: The nervousness on Wall Street went up a notch following Thursday’s continued pullback and ahead of this morning’s jobs report. Good or bad, the lower lows came on continued volatility, as another key level of resistance was cleared. The upcoming weekend and presidential election will make it hard for investors to stay long, and buying on weakness seems to have gone out of style.

Pre-Market Update: The market pundits were accurate in predicting that the Fed would stand pat on raising interest rates, and the December meeting is now in focus. Still on the radar for this week is Friday’s unemployment report, which could come in weaker-than-expected based on another private sector jobs report released on Wednesday.

Pre-Market Update: The market pulled back on Tuesday, with the major indices falling below the previous October lows. The stretch below support and the lower lows could lead to further weakness, as Wall Street is finally noticing the spike in volatility.
