THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a good guide, but when a tweet or news item can jerk the markets around, they mean a bit less.) BRIEFING: We had a mixed day on Monday with the Nasdaq higher, but the Dow and S&P went lower. On our charts, we still show the 'Bearish Engulfing Candle' from last week. Sometimes this can signal a change in trend or a market top. Also could just be another dip to be bought. So keep watching it. The only change to our chart indicators today is the MACD while still a positive reading has crossed down and is currently declining. This is also something to keep an eye on. "The possibility of a consolidation, sideways market, or pullback of some kind may happen at some point." * We still have our 'Bull Flag" formation pictured on our chart, as we have definite gap up and breakaway. We still are using a bit of caution as this market has come up a long way and some uncertainties still remain. *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: The MACD is still positive, but now declining. POSITIVES: The MACD is positive.The Money Flow is positive.We are over the 20-day moving average, which is rising.We are over the 50-day moving average, which is rising.We are over the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: We now have a 'Bearish Engulfing Candle' to watch.Possible market top.What about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Election issues, Politics, The FED, etc.?A lot of things out there to worry about still! OPINION: Currently we are above the 20-day, 50-day and 200-day MAs. (Bullish).We were thinking about a sideways - range bound type of market for a while, but the market may keep rising.So - The possibility of making new highs is on the table as the technicals are looking well.This new bearish candle could mark a short-term top in the market / or not.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. * Do not use MARGIN at this time unless absolutely certain of your trade! *INDICATORS: The MACD is positive/declining.
