Weekend Video – Follow Through with Strong Breadth, Tech ETFs Surge, Industrial Metals Lead (Premium)

Check out the Premium Page (click here) [1] for articles and videos covering trading strategies, seasonality, exits, patterns and more.

Stocks surged again on Thursday, but this week’s surge was different than the Thursday’s surge the prior week. SPY and QQQ followed through after the open and S&P 500 breadth showed broad participation. Small-caps also bounced, but the S&P SmallCap 600 SPDR was not as strong and remains a laggard overall. Oil continues to power higher with a move above $82 and energy-related ETFs are leading, but some are getting extended. The banking ETFs broke out a couple week’s ago and we are seeing some short-term breakouts in other ETFs with long corrections (XLI, XLB, IFRA, IYT, ITA). Despite renewed leadership from tech, industrial metals really stole the show with new highs in the DB Base Metals ETF and upturns in the Strategic Metals ETF as well as the Lithium Battery Tech ETF. And finally, the choppy Electric Vehicle ETFs are showing signs of leadership again as they break out of consolidation patterns. All this and more in today’s video.
