In the truncated week, the markets largely wore a corrective look as the key indices lost ground during the week. In the previous technical note, it was mentioned that on the one hand, no runaway moves should be expected, and on the other hand the support for Nifty exists much below at 20-week MA. The markets ended up trading precisely on the expected lines. Not only they did not move higher but also ended up...

The S&P 500 is down 5.5% this month and volatility is rearing its ugly head. This is a good time to get some perspective by putting the move into context. My goal is to see the forest, as opposed to a few trees. First, we need to know if we are in a long-term uptrend or long-term downtrend. Once we know this answer, we can answer the second question. Is the current decline a primary...

While our major equity benchmarks showed incredible strength in Q1 2024, breadth conditions have been deteriorating since mid-March. Despite the weakening breadth readings, and the initial breakdowns of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, leading growth names, including the formerly-described Magnificent 7 stocks, had remained in clearly-defined uptrends.

What a difference a week makes. Last week, the stock market changed its tune from up, up, up,… to up, down, up, down. That made it feel like investors were uncertain, yet the CBOE Volatility Index ($VIX) wasn’t high enough to confirm the fear. This week, the market’s singing another tune emphasizing the word “down.” This week, the selling pressure was more dominant, especially in the Tech sector. Does this mean the bear is coming...

I admit that some other aspect of the report could be a contributing factor for the crash, but let’s look at the...
