Over the last seven days both Significant Buying and Selling has been marked (see chart) with recent price action oscillating around the 60day poc at 1628. First Level Resistance remains the 1/2R off May high at 1641 which was Resistance on Friday and again pre-open today. Until ES prints some time above that Resistance (preferably with Significant Buying being marked) I am not considering new long trades.
Breadth: CP Market Timing System turned neutral (from positive) for Nyse and R2000; remained positive for Nasdaq and turned negative for UK.
%Stocks>50dyma numbers: Nyse 52%, Nasdaq 61%, R2000 61%, UK 35%. Numbers >50 are considered supportive. Numbers >80 are considered overbought.
First Level Resistance = is the price area ES 1641 (minor 1/2R) to 1645 (24dy poc)
First Level Support = ES 1628 (60dy poc)
Sentiment: my version of the Rydex Assets Ratio ended the week at 4.22. Thursday’s ratio at 4.00 was a 32 day low and showed (at last) some bears emerging. Watching the ratio relative to its recent high which was 5.43 on 22nd May (May’s high day) and its recent low which was 3.27 on 25th April.
