U.S. Market
The U.S. market is in a Confirmed Uptrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are trading at all-time highs after clearing above multiple levels of resistance throughout the week. On Friday, the S&P 500 cleared above longer-term
resistance along its weekly upper channel line. Going forward, we will be looking for indices to consolidate
gains constructively, avoiding any big pick up in distribution, while support along the 21- and 50-DMA catches
up to current prices.
Seven of 11 O’Neil sectors are now trading 2% or move above their respective 50-DMA, led by Health Care,
Technology, and Capital Equipment. Defensive sectors, Utility and Consumer Staple, as well as Energy, continue
to lag all, trading flat to down over the last week. Industry groups under significant accumulation this week include Biotech, Medical Products/Equipment, Semiconductors, and Electronic Products. 71% of S&P 500 stocks
are trading above their respective 50-DMA, up from 68% last week.
