Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video
The weight of the evidence is bearish for stocks. The Composite Breadth Model turned negative on Monday, yield spreads widened significantly over the past week and SPY broke wedge support. Risk for stocks and stock-based ETFs is above average right now. This includes groups that held up and showed relative strength, such as tech based ETFs. QQQ, XLK and some others have pullback patterns working, but I would respect the immediate downtrends until conditions improve. Elsewhere, money is moving into bonds as a safe haven and precious metals as an alternative. The Dollar broke short-term support, but could catch a bid because it is a safe haven currency.
