) slumped 2.71% over last week. Te market remains in a Downtrend. Te index is trading 22% off its 52-week high. We view stiff resistance at the 200-DMA (~3,960). We recommend a conservative approach for any fresh additions.

US Focus Long

The U.S. market is in a Rally Attempt within a Downtrend. We are now looking for a followthrough day before shifting the market into a Confirmed Uptrend or, conversely, an undercut of Monday’s lows (S&P 500: 2,553; Nasdaq: 6,805) before shifting the market back into a Downtrend. The majority of U.S. Focus List ideas are still holding support, but few are actionable at current levels. We continue to recommend a patient approach, waiting for the follow-through day and waiting for ideas to firm and present better, more risk-optimal entry points. We maintain our cautious stance on the general market.
