The major index ETFs got big bounces last week, but these are still oversold bounces within bigger downtrends and within the context of a bear market. Despite some breadth thrusts, the Composite Breadth Model remains bearish and yield spreads remain very elevated. Gold is struggling to hold its breakout as the Dollar and Treasury yields pull back within a bigger uptrends. Oil remains strong as it extends on its early May breakout and energy-related ETFs are leading the pack. There are a number of short-term breakouts working over the last few weeks (XME, MOO, PPA, DBB, CPER, GLD). Today’s video will highlight these breakouts and show some techniques to prove them wrong (support level and ATR Trailing Stop).
