The S&P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) proceed to trek upwards, together with the Dow Jones (DIA). Whereas the DIA and QQQ nonetheless must clear their 200-DMA, the 4th main index is flashing a warning signal.
When watching the foremost index, it’s at all times vital to notice when one is straying away from the pack. Strikes the place all 4 are aligned could be highly effective and present that the general market is in an settlement. With that stated, the small-cap Russell 2000 (IWM) doesn’t agree with the remainder of the pack, because it has but to clear key resistance over $209. Due to this fact, alongside the 200-DMA sitting as the subsequent resistance level for QQQ and the DIA to clear, we have to look ahead to IWM to clear its double high of $209.
If these ranges aren’t cleared, this may present weak point and a doable retracement in direction of the 50-DMA (blue line) within the indices.
On one other observe, volatility by means of the S&P 500 VIX (VXX) has proven its skill to carry over the 200-DMA (inexperienced line).
Whereas the latest spikes in value have failed to carry, as seen on Mondays and three/15, the VXX continues to be holding its main transferring common.
This reveals we ought to be additional cautious, because the VXX, which tends to maneuver inverse to the indexes, is standing its floor.
