Blog: Day 11 of $QQQ short term down-trend; GMI=1 and could flash Red Tuesday. This modified daily Guppy chart clearly contrasts the current market environment with that during the wonderful May rally. I am mainly in cash in my trading accounts.

I am very worried about the strength of the current market. There are times for me to step away. If growth stocks announcing good earnings this week weaken, I fear that the markets are in for a steep decline. Too many young persons who have only been trading for a short time will learn the hard way that minimizing losses is the key to success. This modified daily Guppy chart shows that QQQ is leading all 12 moving averages lower. The dotted line shows daily closes. A new advance will occur when the reverse happens. Look at the pattern last May during that wonderful rally. That is what I am waiting for. I ignore the news and the media pundits and follow the market’s actions.

Blog: Day 6 of continuing $QQQ short term down-trend; Technical weakness resumes but QQQ has not broken out of its current consolidation yet.

QQQ was down on higher volume Monday than Friday and the 30 day average is curving down, a major sign of weakness. QQQ also closed below its 50 day average (green dotted line). Will QQQ find support at its lower Bollinger band (@700) again? We must react and not predict. Wait for Mr. Market to reveal his intention.
