The market regime remains bullish, but breadth continues to wane and more breakouts are failing. Overall, ETFs related to tech, healthcare, communication services and REITs are leading, while ETFs related to industrials, materials and housing are lagging because their breakouts failed to hold. I am also watching TLT and the Dollar because they are typically risk-off assets and strength in these two could be negative for risk assets, like stocks. SPY and QQQ are mildly oversold after two week declines and IWM has a bull flag working. Within the ETFs, I am seeing some potentially bullish setups in the Clean Energy ETF (PBW), Biotech SPDR (XBI), Baltic Dry Freight ETF (BDRY) and Healthcare Providers ETF (IHF). See video for details.
