wednesday’s Factors and Events
The only technical events of import was the SPX (page 2) closing below its short term uptrend line turning said trend to neutral from positive while the VALU (page 5) closed above near term resistance.
The rest of the indexes are in near term uptrends as are the cumulative advance/decline lines for the All Exchange, NYSE and NASDAQ.
High “volume at price” (VAP) levels remain supportive.
However, we reiterate that the stochastic levels remain overbought, suggesting some potential for some market weakness. Moving form overbought to oversold is a regular phenomenon. The question is “When will the signals present themselves?”. As yet, they have not.
