11/17/22W Uptrend   Nasdaq finds support at its 50-day line with a nice bounce.

THE MARKET’s MESSAGE:  UPtrend holds above its 50-day line

As said yesterday, another small pullback day after the 12% rise in the Nasdaq over 8 trading days, is not much of a disappointment.  

In fact, there is some good news in today’s Nasdaq 0.4% drop….. The Nasdaq found support today at it’s 50-day moving average line and then turned back up and closed near the top of the day’s range. And had lower volume on the last 2 days as well – showing the market is not too excited about the drops!

The small retracement today is not a deterrent to my stock buying.

Be sure to visit the Accumulation/Distribution table a little later in this newsletter – it has some GOOD NEWS for investors.

As we saw on Wednesday:

·      Looking at the Accumulation/Distribution table below, I am quite encouraged by the rise in “A” and “B” rated stocks in Investors.com’s Accumulation/Distribution counts.

·       The extraordinary 4 week recent rise from 31% A's plus B's to 56% in just 4 weeks shows some serious buying is goin' on!

Ratings to Note:

·      8 accumulation days versus 2 distribution days in the last 20 trading days says the buyers are ruling this market.

·      All 3 major indexes (Nasdaq, DJIA and S&P500) are B rated again indicating buying rules the market direction.(see below)

·      All three indexes are above their 50-day lines – showing optimism about a rising market.

The extraordinary 4 week rise from 34% As and Bs to 57% in just 4 weeks. shows some serious buying is going on!

And all of the above does NOT guarantee the future market direction.

Please read on…… for important comments on the current market.

Wishing you, “Many Happy Returns!”

 =========================================================================================

The MARKET ACTION table below still amazes me!  Only 2 distribution days (selling days when the market falls on higher volume) out of the last 4 weeks is a deep sign of strength.  

The MARKET FACTORS table (below) summarizes the current market strengths and direction. There is a lot of GREEN (rising markets, ratings and stronger ratings, etc.) - rising rtings win!

Ratings to Note:

·      8 accumulation days versus 2 distribution days in the last 20 trading days says the buyers are ruling this market.

·      All 3 major indexes (Nasdaq DJIA and S&P500) are B rated again indicating buying rules the market, as of Thursday – remember: one piece of bad news can turn the market around.

·      All three indexes are above their 50-day lines.

And again, note the extraordinary rise from 34% As and Bs to 57% in just 4 weeks shows some serious buying is going on!
