US Market On a Rocket!
Yes, the US market truly is on a rocket right now with the Dow making its 8th straight positive day yesterday! The S&P500 also made a new historical high close yesterday despite going deeper into short term overbought territory. Interestingly, the Nasdaq doesn't seem to be participating in this rally that enthusiastically so far. In fact, no new highs have been made this week. Since the Nasdaq tends to lead the Dow and the S&P500, does that show that the profit taking I predicted is still very real?
Well, from the recent short term overbought signals triggered by the S&P500, the 8 straight bullish days by the Dow and the non participation from the Nasdaq composite as well as confirmation from a sudden drop in total equities put call ratio in favor of call options trading (yes, a sudden drop is always an opposite suggestion), I would say the profit taking is still very real and may start as early as today. However, I do expect this to be a fairly mild profit taking, probably just a couple of days to wear off the short term overbought condition before the market continues its rocket to the moon.
Yes, I continue to think that this is a primary bull trend that has at least another year to go as long as Trump remains in office and nothing changes.
Today is also FOMC announcement day.
However, since the feds are not expected to do anything with the rates today, I don't foresee any significant impact on the stock market apart from the usual uncertain trading behavior in the morning and perhaps for the rest of the day as well.
I started a new feature in Optiontradingpedia.com in order to help beginners to options trading learn on their own for free, called "Options Reading Courses". This is like "playlists" in youtube whereby I organize those 652 tutorials that I have written for the website into themes like "Options Basics" , "Covered Call Course" etc so that anyone who wishes to learn about these for free can do so at their own time. Yes, it can be very confusing to have to surf through that much information about options trading on your own so I hope this feature can be a valuable tool to your options trading.

For now, the market remains in all out bull trend.
