Expect Light Holiday Tradin’ ?

One would expect a light volume holiday trading week, but so far many of the charts that I looked at have normal or average volume.  Maybe it will lighten up each day, but let's take a look at what trading took place  after the weekend report.

.  

SPX - The markets have been choppy and instead of that inverse H&S pattern  breaking back above the 200 sma again, Monday the Markets dropped.

 

I used this chart in the weekend report along with the increasingly ugly charts of FB, GOOG, NVDA, and even the IWMs lack of strength, to show the current weakness.  I warned again that if we don't see strength soon, we may see an a-b-c drop that looks like this on the General Markets Weekly Charts.

Note:  we'll see how 'earnings' affect the markets going forward, but NVDA released earnings after the bell, and got crushed, down over  $33 or 16%.   We will discuss that with the NASDAQ too.

.  

SPX -  Wednesday we had a gap fill and a bounce into the close.  We need a bigger sign of strength than that, so we'd see if Thursdays trading could show some strength...

SPX - Markets sold off to a new low on Thursday morning,  and then put in a nice reversal.  It overtook more than 1/2 of the prior days candle, so you could add to positions on a day like that, with a tight stop at the lows.   Our inverse H&S remains in tact, let's see if this can power higher.
