The NightCap
Posted by Admin on November 11, 2015
The Market: A lower close for all 4 main indices on the WSC Scoreboard as the Russell 2000 (IWM) led to the downside while the NASDAQ (QQQ) was the relative outperformer. The Retail (XRT) sector was the biggest loser on the WSC Scoreboard followed closely by Energy (XLE). Unlike some other sectors, the XRT is not heavily weighted in a few stocks and, as of 11/10/15, has no stock weighted more than 1.27% so when you see strong moves up or down, like today, it is due to a majority of the names trading in that direction. Bucking the trend…

Huge intraday rally as Volatility continues
Posted by Admin on August 12, 2015
The Market: It is not uncommon when the S&P is down 25+ points intraday for their to be a rally but to see the index trade down over 30 points and then finish the session slightly up is surprising. Even with the recent volatility, we remain within a range from, roughly, 2130 to 2050 in the S&P. We are interested to see if the Bulls can build on today’s move off the low and gap higher tomorrow. If not, we would not rule out the S&P revisiting today’s lows in the short-term. Expect the volatility to continue. Leading sectors today…

Early gap up fades, XLE leads lower
Posted by Admin on April 21, 2015
Index & Sector performance 4/21/15 The Market: The Nasdaq (QQQ) was the only sector that managed to finish the session higher while the Blue Chip Dow (DIA) was the leader to the downside. After spending the majority of the year down, Energy (XLE) has recently rallied to up YTD but there was no optimism today as the sector finished over 1% lower. Also finishing lower was Utilities (XLU) down 0.89%, Materials (XLB) down 0.74%, and Financials (XLF) down 0.50%. Today’s clear leader was HeathCare (XLV) which managed to close up 0.68% on the session. No tracked Economic data yesterday or today…

Market churns while XLU heads lower
Posted by Admin on February 25, 2015
Index & Sector performance 2/25/15 The Market: Another day of churn as the market continues to grind with an upward bias. As we posted over at StockTwits we are starting to see a lot of negative divergence setting up on the MACD. Divergence is not a trigger itself but is showing signs that each move higher comes with less momentum and excitement. Utilities (XLU) was the leader to the downside and a name we recently posted about in the Charts section. After seeing a lot of people bullish on the name, we laid the road map we felt the Bulls…

Low Volume Slow grind Higher
Posted by Admin on February 17, 2015
Index & Sector performance 2/17/15 The Market: Monday the markets were closed in observance of President’s Day. As trading started back Monday evening, the futures traded lower but by the open Tuesday all the loses were recouped and after an early session consolidation the index pressed toward new closing highs. Volume was light but this could be due to the winter storms around the nation. All broad indices on the WSC Scoreboard are noticeably higher YTD with the Dow (DIA) lagging and the NASDAQ (QQQ) leading. In individual sectors it a little more mixed. HealthCare (XLV) was the clear leading…

Eurozone fears trigger late day sell-off
Posted by Admin on February 4, 2015
Index & Sector performance 2/4/15 The Market: Monday’s reversal in the S&P 500 (SPY) of the 200 day SMA continued Tuesday and was extending in today’s session, even with Oil trading lower, until later in the trading day when the index dropped sharply. Traders pointed to news our of Europe that the ECB will not allow Banks to use Greek government debt as collateral for loans as the catalyst. The Dow (DIA) was the only index on the WSC Scoreboard which managed to finish higher but that was greatly due to Disney (DIS) beating EPS and finishing up 7.63% on…

Heartfelt thank you to our Vets!!!
Posted by Admin on November 11, 2014
Index & Sector performance 11/11/14 The Market: A Heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the past, present, and future service men and women who work each day to keep us safe. Without you, what we have and unfortunately often take for granted each and every day would not exist. Almost zeros across the board as it was a relatively uneventful trading session. Maybe the clearest example of how uneventful is that the entire trading day’s range on the S&P 500 was 6 points and volume was again light. As noted last night, we still view the short term…

XLE hit hard on overall mixed session
Posted by Admin on October 27, 2014
Index & Sector performance 10/27/14 The Market: A rumor Thursday of a doctor infected with the Ebola virus being rushed to an NYC hospital helped take the market off the highs and then in Thursday’s overnight session it was confirmed that the doctor indeed had Ebola which sent the futures spiking lower but by Friday morning they were off the lows from the overnight session and marched higher closing near Thursday’s intraday highs. Today was much more of a muted consolidation session with the S&P 500 cash index remaining within a roughly 13 point range which while not historically small…

Early dip finds interested buyers
Posted by Admin on July 28, 2014
Index & Sector performance 7/28/14 The Market: Early moves lower in the broad market indices soon found buyers and managed to finish the day near flat on the session with the Russell 2000 (IWM) continuing to lag. The DOW (DIA) played MA pinball with the lows in the early session touching the 50 day EMA while the highs of the session back tested the 20 day EMA. The stand out sector from the WSC Scoreboard was the Utilities (XLU) finishing up X% higher on the session. Every name in the sector ETF was higher and that vast majority were up…
