Breadth Weakness Leads To Pull Back...AAPL, FB, Rally...


None of the sectors moved higher on Wednesday…XLU, XLV and XLI were the strongest sectors …XLE was the weakest sector…. 

Breadth weakened…decliners led advancers…3.63 to 1 on the NYSE and 3.25 to 1 on the NASDAQ…

Wednesday – weakened – decliners led
Tuesday – strengthened – decliners led
Monday – weakened, decliners led
Thursday – strengthened, advancers led
Wednesday – weakened, advancers led NYSE


SPY down 1.59  at 155.23...volume 154.1 million shares…
VIX up 1.43 at 14.21…
TNX down .49 at 18.12…
TLT up 1.06 at 118.97…
XLF

AAPL up 2.20 at 431.99…volume 12.9 million shares…
FB up 83 cents at`26.25… volume 48.1 million shares…


Technical Commentary:

QQQ - .91% led DIA- 0.77%, SPY – 1.01% and IWM -1.57% all moved below Tuesdays low on Wednesday.  Weakness in IWM, XLB and XLE along with decliners leading in breadth which were signs of the narrowness of Tuesday’s rally preceded Wednesday’s pullback. 

AAPL up 2.20 confirmed Tuesday’s inverted hammer. FB up 83 cents bounced on increasing volume.  FB is still a setup for a potential C Pattern Entry after a support bounce. 

The Euro was up 19 pips and closed at 1.2841 on Wednesday. 

Trade what you see on the chart of your position. The trend is up and traders should lock in profits when targets are reached. As always look for re-entry according to your rules.

The SPY formed a large black candle as TNX fell and TLT Bonds broke out to a new short term high.


The Market Forecast Green Line is in the upper zone.
