Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video

Stocks surged in July and this surge was enough to trigger a bullish breadth thrust in the S&P 500. However, we have seen this movie before with bullish breadth thrusts that failed in late March and late May. The Composite Breadth Model needs more than just a bullish breadth thrust to turn the corner. Elsewhere, yield spreads remain elevated, industrial commodities are weak and oil is testing its spring lows. The vast majority of ETFs are in downtrends (90+ percent) and several key ETFs are hitting resistance-reversal zones. Today’s video will pay special attention to ATR Trailing Stops with examples using ICLN, TAN, XBI, PPA, XLV and PALL.
