Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report Summary

Fri-Despite strong stock market bearishness, the Dow Utilities-(Chart) was bullish, albeit not very much. However, its bullishness in the face of strong stock market bearishness suggests, as it has many times to the past four-years, the stock market bear can only pester, as opposed to dominating. Unfortunately, the Dow Transports-(Chart) endured a bear signal along both the near-term and quick-term cycle as it fell into Yellow Bear status. The Dow Utilities is now preventing bearish unanimity along the short-term cycle. There were no new bears along the Mid-term Indicant cycle, but the related attributes are increasingly bearish. There will be more about that in the Weekly Stock Market Report.

Thu-The stock market was bullish this past Monday, only to be undone by the stock market bear on Tuesday. The good news about Tuesday’s strong bearishness was the Dow Utilities bullishness on that particular day. Although recent bearish is a bit unsettling, similar such events have happened before with benign results. The Dow Utilities-(Chart) enjoyed new near-term and quick-term today, despite recent bearishness, as it attained Red Bull status. The stock market bear can only pester until all major indices are committed to support that bear. That is not occurring. Also, contrarian VIX-(Chart) is not expressing enthusiasm despite being up 43.0% since the Indicant’s Oct 5, 2018 bull signal. Partially contrarians TLT-(Chart) and GLD-(Chart) enjoyed buy signals today. Anticipated inflation could be traced to that, but with declining energy costs are arguing that. Those buy signals could be short-lived. The more stable Mid-term Indicant for the major indices this weekend will indeed be interesting, as the market is now solidly inside the heart and soul of bullish seasonality.

Indicant Volume Indicators

Fri-Dec 7-Volume as down significantly on strong late day stock market bearishness. Both Indicant Volume Indicators are losing stock market interest, but remain in the domain of high interest. As long as they are losing interest, some stock market timidity should soon replace recent volatility.

Thu-Dec 6-Volume was up significantly on mild bullish and bearish behavior. Early day to mid-trading was strongly bearish but ended the day basically flat.

Wed-Dec 5-Market endured an unscheduled close due to George H.W. Bush funeral.

Tue-Dec 4-Volume was up even more so on bearish aggression of greater magnitude than prior day bullishness. That does not bode well for the stock market bull.

Mon-Dec 3-Volume was up mildly on strong stock market bullishness. Short-term attributes, however, suggested that bullishness as fake.
