Recap July 26 - The S&P opened with a 14 handle gap down and then continued another 38 handles lower into a 12:01 PM low. From that low, the S&P rallied 19 handles into a 1:12 PM high. From that high the S&P declined 23 handles into a 3:08 PM low of the day. From that low, the S&P bounce 9 handles into the close.
7/26 – The major indices had a moderate down day to finish with the following closes: DJIA - 228.50; S&P 500 - 45.79; & the Nasdaq Comp. - 220.09.
Looking Ahead – Tuesday had a moderate decline for most of the day. However, in overnight trading the market has rallied enough to wipe out most or all of Tuesday’s decline. This in combination with Wednesday being a Fed day says to me, Wednesday looks like a good time to take the day the day off. The next major change in trend window is for a three 3 way cluster coming on 7/28 PM – 7/28 AC. Please see details below.
The Now Index has moved back to the NEUTRAL ZONE.
