U.S. Market
The U.S. market is in a Confirmed Uptrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq regained their respective 50-DMA this
week and are now testing resistance at October highs (S&P 500: 3,550; Nasdaq: 11,965). The 10- and 21-
DMA have begun to turn back up and will now act as near-term resistance should a pullback occur. The distri-
bution day count stands at seven and five, respectively, with one day expiring on each Monday.

U.S. Market
The U.S. market is in an Uptrend Under Pressure. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq broke below their respective 50-
DMA this week and are now testing support near September lows, followed by the rising 200-DMA (S&P 500:
3,129; Nasdaq: 9,833). We will likely downgrade the market to Downtrend for the first time since the April
2 follow-through day should either index close below September lows (S&P 500: 3,209; Nasdaq: 10,519).
Should that occur, we will be looking for another follow-through day before advising an increase in risk.

only 3% over the last quarter as it has been consolidating, however, it now looks to be rounding out the right
side of its base
