Are you watching the Dow Jones Utility Average? Well, you probably should be. Utilities have been a strong sector, especially off the recent market bottom for stocks.
Below are a couple of charts showing the 3 drives higher. Both are similar but get at the same points. Utility stocks appear to be racing to a top.
As you can see, the Dow Jones Utility Average is pushing higher into my target “SELL” zone with a monthly bearish divergence. In my opinion, this is a big deal and begs of caution… in the past 26,854 days Utilities have never gone longer without a “major” correction.
I’m also going to show another chart of the Dow Jones Utility Average from a little different angle… watch closely here – that upper target is pretty darn close. And it comes on a third drive to a high. Since the low in the 1940’s this time horizon has brought a major pullback. Looks like we are coming due… or overdue.
Thanks for reading and good luck out there.
