October 18th – It’s Still A Rough Ride

The release of the FOMC Minutes really didn't seem to have any meaningful or lasting reaction in the markets.  It may have added a little knee jerk reaction or volatility, but overall there was no big directional change.   Let's take a look at our markets, and again, there really are no major changes from yesterdays report to discuss, but we'll still review what we have...

Thursday – Hanging On

I have been mentioning that the markets were due for a drop into an ICL, and I used this chart to show the potential downside -

.  

NASDAQ AUGUST -  I thought that we might run to the top and then drop into an ICL just like the drops we saw in the beginning of 2018, and ...

 

This chart looks to be a lot of what I was expecting, but I wouldn't just jump in here.  The NASDAQ broke & closed below the 200sma. Even though this could be a shake out, there is no need to try to catch this falling knife. We'll monitor it along the way.
