Market Summary:
The S&P 500 had a Day 6 follow through day (FTD) on Wednesday, April 8th. As I mentioned in recent videos, after a FTD you want to see sideways digestion on light volume, minimal distribution, the major indexes continue to hold above their key moving averages, growth stocks to act well, and eventually a SECOND FTD. We’ve seen all that since April 8th. Technically, we didn’t get a second FTD on the S&P 500, but we did see two strong accumulation days on Monday, April 13 (+1.02%) and Tuesday, April 14 (+1.18%). I say “technically” because the old definition of a FTD used to be 1% or greater. The whole point is who cares? After the April 8th FTD, the price action has been strong and we’ve seen continued accumulation. Regarding the Nasdaq Composite, we did see TWO follow through days this week on Tuesday, April 14, and today, Wednesday April 15. Again, these are all positive signs of the institutions coming back into the market.

From here, keep things simple and stick to my main guidelines during power trends: 1) Use the 21-day as your guide. In other words, if we are extended from this level, don’t be surprised to see minor pullbacks through price and/or through time. 2) Expose yourself to strong stocks and ETFs. There are plenty of ideas in these videos. 3) Get strong entry points near the 21-day and 50-day moving averages. 4) Manage your trades as best as possible based on your timeframe, risk tolerance, and overall investment plan. I can give guidelines, but ultimately, you need to decide what position size to use, the number of positions to own, when to take profits, and where to set your stop losses. Thank you and good luck for the remainder of the week.
