A Shaky But Serviceable Foundation

The strength today seen in the XLF, financial sector ETF, could easily be the long-awaited breakout in the space that many have been expecting, what with rising rates and an oversold Berkshire Hathaway (the largest XLF component).  But, as you can see on the daily chart below, the XLF is already screaming overbought, punching up through its...

VE Day Levels to Watch

In light of the post-jobs number gap up today, the small caps in the IWM, ETF for the Russell 2000 Index, are focused on the highs from the last day of April. Specifically, on the 30-minute chart, below, note the significance of the $123.40 area, as being the next hurdle for buyers to clear. In addition, with the massive gap higher in the S&P...

Taking Inventory of the Ranges

Equities are not the only asset class which has been mired in a whippy range in recent months.  In addition, precious metals have seen fits and starts for a while, albeit in an established bear market while equities are still in an overarching bull.

Whole Paycheck in Aisle 40

Looking at a multi-year chart of WFM, or "Whole Paycheck," as it is affectionately known as, note the significance of the $40 level, especially after this earnings gap lower. As they say, price has memory. And the prior 2007 bull market top for Whole Foods actually occurred in 2005, as the stock peaked several years in front of equities in...

After several reversals in the futures market, spilling over into the cash open this morning, there sure seems to be plenty of duels at critical levels on the major averages.
