Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video

The Composite Breadth Model remains in bear mode, yield spreads show stress in the bond market and the major index ETFs are in downtrends. Other groups are not picking up the slack because most precious metals, industrial metals and agricultural commodities are also in downtrends. Oil and some energy-related ETFs are holding up relatively well, but oil was also hit the last six weeks. Bonds, a typical safe-haven in bear markets, got an oversold bounce within a downtrend. The downtrend, however, is strong and bonds are not a viable alternative either. The Dollar stands out with the strongest uptrend by far as it trades near a 52-week high. In short, there are not many places to hide right now.
