The weekly chart (on the bottom) shows that SPY and RSP were highly correlated until early March. After March, we have seen the two separate in YTD returns. The correlation coefficient confirms this break in trading. The breakdown in correlation between the RSP and SPY is most evident between May and June when RSP lost value and SPY gained value. In the last...
On Wednesday, TMUS reports its quarterly earnings. The last earnings report saw a gap on the surprise earnings, but overall the price did not do much.

With the MACD and Stoch flashing signals of bullish divergence and a gap that has not been filled, it seems likely that MCHP is getting ready to test its channel upper bound. To reach the channel upper bound it must clear another previously two unfilled gaps, the 21EMA and 63EMA. We are also seeing a cross in the 21Mom, Stoch crossing over sold and the MACD...
AVGO has returned to its post-March 2020 point of control. Stepping down a time frame to the daily chart, we can see a cluster of Dojis. Combined with volume falling under the 50day average, MACD crossing its signal, and Stoch recovering from oversold shows hesitation in the selloff. An aggressive trade would be to enter now, while a more conservative entry...

Week Previous The thought that seeing three white soldiers means you missed most of the move held last week. SPY and QQQ made smaller gains while IWM failed to hold on to any. SPY and QQQ cleared their EMA's while IWM still flirts with EMA's. Week Ahead I expect the bullish trend to continue this week. SPY and QQQ seem ready to grind higher, but IWM is again...

Week Previous SPY and QQQ managed to close below the low set on the week of Jan 24th. IWM closed just south of its resistance line. During the previous rally, IWM's refusal to break its channel warned the rally was weak. IWM may be warning again that this bearish move lacks strength. Going back to Jan 24th, we see that volume is trending down on the daily...
Last week ended with a lack of conviction from all the indexes. SPY, QQQ, and IWM failed to close above their resistance line or the low set on the week of Jan 24. Looking at the intra week action, we see that none of the indexes could last a day over their resistance line. IWM found resistance at the 2% filter off the channel and 40 day EMA. SPY found resistance...
