Weekend Stock Market Outlook - February 23 2020

The stock market outlook starts this week in an uptrend. The ADX directional indicators turned bearish on Friday, but price/volume remains mixed and OEW charts still show an uptrend.

Watch for more high volume selling this week, especially if the 50-day moving average doesn't hold.

Weekend Stock Market Outlook - February 2 2020

The stock market outlook switched over to a downtrend early last week, as markets reacted to uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.

While the pandemic was unexpected, the reaction by financial markets wasn't. Uncertainty creates a fear of losing money, which drives investors to reduce their risk of loss.

What can you do? Adjust.

Stock Market Outlook - 2019 Performance Review

It's that time! Time for the annual review of the Stock Market Outlook's performance, 2019 edition.

With such a great year in the books, I expected to see some money left on the table, so to speak. It’s the “cost” of avoiding really bad downtrends. So how did we do?

Weekend Stock Market Outlook - January 26 2020

An uptrend remains in place for the stock market outlook this week, but the signals do indicate that trend has weakened a bit.

Chart-wise, the S&P continues to plod along within the price channel we've been following, but remains extended from moving averages (3% above the 50-day, and ~10% above the 200-day).

Per Factset, about 30% of the S&P 500 will report earnings this week. Hopefully you get an Intel (INTC), and not a Discover Financial (DFS)!

The stock market outlook continues to signal an uptrend. The ADX, price/volume, and OEW indicators remain bullish.

Another week, another deluge of headlines. Earnings season, U.S.-China Phase 1 trade deal, North American trade agreement, impeachment, etc., etc., etc.

Don't forget that all U.S. markets are closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
