Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video
The Composite Breadth Model hit its moment of truth and failed to turn bullish as stocks moved sharply lower the last five days. Correlations rose as the vast majority of stock-based ETFs declined. Only energy-based ETFs were spared. The short-term reversal in SPY is concerning because of the long-term trend remains down and we are moving into a seasonally weak period. Bonds do not offer an alternative to stocks as TLT broke down. Outside of energy, agriculture-based ETFs are showing strength and offer possible alternatives to stocks.
