May 31- CHANGE OR STILL CHOPPY?

May 31, 2019 in /by

In the markets, at times it can be a Challenge to discern early on whether or not some of the Changes that we see taking place are real changes with follow through or just continued choppiness.  Lately the choppiness has been full of whip saw moves, and for that reason,  I have admonished keeping any positions small and always honoring stops. Eventually, we will get more of a directional move, but when will we get some follow through?  Let's go to the charts and discuss this further...

SPX - We had the break of the short term downtrend recently, but the upside follow through has been lacking.  The SPX lost the 50sma, but  this may just be a back test of that trend line.  We'll see if we get a bounce Tuesday.
