GMI: +3; Interest rate indicator gaps up

To my visitors: I am only one trader, not a guru, and not a financial advisor.  I am presenting my own opinions and my own experiences and people are welcome to decide for themselves what, if anything, on this site is of value to them.  Please refer to the additional comments, highlighted in red, at the end of this post.

I managed to steal a few minutes before I start my vacation toGmi628  update the GMI.  It is still +3 after a strong day today.  80% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks rose, along with 86% of the S&P500 and 93% of the Dow 30 stocks. The Daily SPY Index is too close to call but the QQQQ looks like it is still in a down trend (D-3).  I could easily be wrong, but this looks to me like a weak bounce from the selling of last week.  The QQQQ volume on the rebound is a lot lower than when it declined. It would take a close or two above 37.75 on the QQQQ (now at 37.15) to turn my daily indicator positive.

I am a little worried (conundrum?) about interest rates.  Irx628 The short term interest rate indicator gapped higher today to yet another new peak.  (Click on chart to enlarge.) I think we will know in a few days whether the speculators are right.  I don’t think it is good for equities.

I will post again Friday evening.
