Market View

The U.S. market remains in a Confirmed Uptrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq held slightly above 21-DMA support
(S&P 500: 4,086; Nasdaq: 11,981) this week, consolidating sharp gains off recent lows in choppy fashion. The next level
of logical resistance for both indices is the sharply falling 50-DMA (S&P 500: 4,249; Nasdaq: 12,773). Following Tuesday’s
rebalancing volume spike, volume came in well below average for the remaining three sessions allowing the distribution
day count to stay at one each.

XLV gained 3.3% last week, sharply underperforming 6%+ gains for the broader indices. Despite the lag, its RS line is still
trending upwards. The ETF now faces resistance directly at its 50-DMA ($134.08). Should it clear above this level, the
next level of resistance is 138.42. Support is now the curling 10- and 21-DMA ($131.05).

Market View

The U.S. market is in a Confirmed Uptrend. The Nasdaq staged a day five follow-through on Thursday, gaining 2.7% in
higher day/day volume. The index regained both its 10-DMA (11,687) and 21-DMA (11,925) which will now act as nearterm downside support. The rolling 50-DMA (12,920) is now the next level of logical resistance. The S&P 500 rallied in
lower volume, but also regained its 10-DMA (4,024) and 21-DMA (4,066), with the 50-DMA (4,277) now also the next level
of resistance.

Eight of 11 sectors gained 5% or more this week, led by Energy, Retail and Consumer Cyclical, which gained 7-8%.
Energy continues to push further into highs and is now trading ~30% above its 200-DMA which is the biggest extension
since June 2021. Technology gained ~6%, clearing above its 10- and 21-DMA with the 50-DMA now trading ~6% above
current levels. Energy and Utility are still the only sectors trading above both the 50- and 200-DMA. The best performing
industry groups this week included Consumer Electronics, Department Stores, Discount Retail, Specialty Retail, Lodging,
Oil & Gas, Solar, Semiconductors and Banks. The worst performing groups included TV Media, Biotech, Pharma,
Outpatient Care, Generic Drugs, Agriculture, Mining, Staffing, Water Utilities, and Internet.

Market View

The U.S. market is in a Downtrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq staged a follow-through day (FTD) Tuesday, before
quickly failing on Friday by undercutting year-to-date lows. This is now the third failed FTD this year. Since 1971, there
have been 33 S&P 500 corrections (9% off highs and below 200-DMA) of which seven turned into bear markets. These
seven bear markets had a median of six failed FTDs. Support is now ~3,700 on the S&P 500 and ~10,500 on the
Nasdaq. Near-term resistance remains the declining 10-DMA (S&P 500: 3,985, Nasdaq: 11,670).

The U.S. market is in a Downtrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq declined 2.4% and 2.8%, respectively, each falling for a
sixth straight week. Despite another steep weekly decline, both indices are now two days off recent lows (S&P 500:
3,858; Nasdaq: 11,108) and set to again face resistance at the sharply falling 10-DMA (S&P 500: 4,063; Nasdaq: 11,965)
and 21-DMA (S&P 500: 4,167; Nasdaq: 12,430).

XLV reversed from 200-DMA ($133) resistance, closing down for a fourth straight week. Despite another pullback, the
ETF’s RS line is making highs, outperforming the broader market. There is still support between ~$127.50 to $129, before year-to-date lows of $124.06.

Market View

The U.S. market is in a Rally Attempt. The S&P 500 reversed from 21-DMA resistance giving up early week gains to close down for a fifth straight week. Despite the reversal, the index is still holding above the May 2 intraday low (4,062), which keeps the attempted rally on this index intact. The Nasdaq also reversed sharply from its 21-DMA, however, did undercut prior lows, killing the rally attempt on that index. Though a follow-through day (FTD) on the S&P 500 can still result in a market upgrade as early as Monday, the earliest the Nasdaq can stage a FTD is now Thursday. Both indices face resistance at the sharply rolling 10-DMA (S&P 500: 4,214; Nasdaq: 12,620) and 21-DMA (S&P 500: 4,285; Nasdaq: 12,944).
