The SPY is continuing sideways and not giving much evidence for which way it will head next. Many large tech names, like Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOGL), are overbought and show signs of flagging or pulling back soon.

One more day ‘till February is in the books and as long as the market doesn’t implode, it will probably stay over the monthly 10-day moving average (MA). This MA has been a line in the sand for me. The fact that the market is closing over this MA means there is some positivity. Of course nothing is guaranteed, but it’s certainly progress. Let’s see how this is working: Traders need to be aware of probabilities and possibilities. As this market keeps bouncing along, members of my Moxie Indicator™ Mastery … Read more

All last week I was guiding the Moxie Indicator™ subscribers into the idea that the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) was likely to pull back and that the target would probably be the daily 50-day simple moving average (SMA). That target was hit Wednesday, and now we need to see if this area will be support or if it’s just another bounce in a downtrend.
