What started off as a strong reversal last Friday quickly ran out of momentum. The major indexes ended at a point that may help define a clear downtrend line from the start of the 8-week pullback. Volume fell off sharply this week.
To be fair, this was leading into the Thanksgiving holiday, and perhaps the institutional traders were just looking forward to time off with the family and watching football – maybe the Patriots/Jets matchup would turn into a good battle to the end.
At this point I'm not expecting the markets to begin another downward thrust resulting in a lower low. A slight pullback/consolidation may be in order. But watch the downtrend line that's now obvious on many of the major indexes and sector ETFs. A strong breakout, or reversal downwards, will set the tone for the next couple of weeks.
Of course, there's much more you need to know and many more stocks you can capitalize upon each and every day. To find out more, Click Here: www.markettamer.com/seasonal-forecaster
