Our iBullyBear Mentoring account paused today and closed with its second highest Net Liq on strength in CRWD, META, PLTR and several other gainers on Wednesday.  If you are not employing a systematic approach to decision-making in the face of uncertainty and you want to improve your skills contact us through the iBullyBear link above.

SPX -58.61, 7,706 a pullback day that stayed above Monday’s S1 level. Breadth weakened as decliners led on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ exchanges.  A rise in oil prices along with a pullback in technology stocks and mega-caps contributed to the pullback in the broad market.

RUT 2,838 fell -51.25. Oil /CL rose +2.86 and closed at 92.71.  

SPX advancers: PANW CRWD VEEV PLTR APA IR ILMN NOW ZBRA FTNT DVN.
SPX decliners: PAYX EXPE ABNB TPL BKNG MCD FSLR BBY APP UAL GEN.

SPY -5.57, -0.72%, above average volume of 54.8 million shares, pullback day. 
VIX +0.97, 15.18 rose.
NDX -0.84% pulled back from horizontal resistance at its June high.
DJI, 51,511 -0.68%, a red candle pullback day.

Up:
Down: DIA, SPY, QQQ, IWM,


Mega caps META, BRK/B, MSFT, TSLA rose, and AAPL, TSM, NVDA, AMD, LLY, MU, AMZN, AVGO, GOOGL fell on Wednesday.  AMD remained above a $1T market cap for a third day.


SPCX closed at 151.85, -6.36, volume of 60.3 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s fundamental future. 

The SPY MFC green line is up at 61.1, price-action on Tuesday is a pullback day and is short-term bullish. +9.3

One of eleven sectors was higher on Wednesday.

SPX advancers: SNDK LEN MRNA MU STX TER ALGN AMGN MTD EL SWK.

Mega caps MU, TSM, AMD, TSLA, NVDA, AVGO, LLY, BRK/B, AAPL rose, and META, MSFT GOOGL AMZN fell on Tuesday.  AMD remained above a $1T market cap and we are adding it to our mega cap list and dropping WMT which fell below $1T market cap on its last earnings release and has yet to recover.


SPCX closed at 151.85, +2.87, volume of 59 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s fundamental future.

Stay Focused on the trendDon’t be distracted by price fluctuations or subjective opinions. Even Kevin Warsh in explaining seven important principles for the Fed said “Trends matter most.”


SPX +114.20, 7,7664 a bounce continuation on Monday as the SPX makes a new all-time closing high by 1.52 points.  Breadth strengthened as advancers led on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ exchanges.  A drop in oil prices along selective buying in technology stocks, mega-caps and SPX leaders led to capital flowing into specific stocks like INTC, AMD, META, ARM, ALAB, MRVL and RKLB.

RUT 2,875 bounced +14.23. Oil /CL fell -3.50 and closed at 91.97.  

SPX advancers: AKAM MRNA INTC META WBD AMD QCOM GDDY APP DDOG.

SPCX closed at 151.85, -0.86, volume of 81.9 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s fundamental future. 

The SPY MFC green line turned up at 41.5 price-action on Monday closed above its 30 DMA and is short-term bullish. +1.7
