THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a guide, do other research as well.) BRIEFING/OPINIONS: The markets had a mixed day as we await the Fed talk/meeting here on Wednesday afternoon. We also have to watch the Evergrande fallout.We still would expect a rebound attempt and some dip buying, followed by a sideways or range bound market for a while. On the chart indicators, there were no major changes. The MACD now shows a steep decline. We need to see that stop falling. (Some people are telling us that September is a weak month historically for the markets.) ** - Looks like they were right - ** The longer-term trend was broken this week. Now we await the next pattern. In the meantime, it is no man's land. SPY 425 has been our strong support level and we expect this to hold. These levels could also be considered stop levels for some traders. * If you have any questions, opinions, or comments to add please do so! * IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * CHANGES: MACD noticeable decline. POSITIVES: We are above the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: MACD decline.Money Flow negative.Below the 20-day moving average.Below the 50-day moving average. (Don't like this.)Possible market top or trading range in the future?Thinking about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Politics, The FED, etc.?Some things out there to worry about still! Or a wall of worry to climb as the saying goes. OUTLOOK: Longer-term we are still bullish, But we could see a sideways range bound type of market for a while.Risk of drops or pullbacks still exist. Increase of volatility a good possibility as the markets try to figure everything out.Longer-term questions to ask: When will the Fed's easy money and the stimulus sugar run out?Will higher inflation cause the Fed to raise rates? Covid still hurting the economy?We still say "Use Caution" for a reason. Do not over risk yourself or over leverage yourself.We are still susceptible to large drops or dips.Look for trading opportunities that could result and have your trading lists ready. * Be careful if using MARGIN, be certain of your trades! *INDICATORS: The MACD is declining. The Stochastics are low. The Money Flow is negative. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (441.29)(-0.04) and the 200-day MA (407.35)(+0.36) The 8-month chart (below). We are above the 425 strong support level, but our previous 437 support a well as the long term trend line were broken. Next step is a rebound attempt and then some kind of sideways trading range should develop in the near term. STOCK PICKS: (For trades and/or investments.)
