Despite a small bounce rally, the major stock market averages are in uncertain territory.
Many investors are stuck thinking about whether this is a buying opportunity or something more bearish. Patience is probably the key here.
Why? Well, there’s an index of 50 stocks telling us to be patient. That is the IBD 50 Index by Investors Business Daily. These 50 stocks show a blend of strong fundamentals and relative strength.
BUT, the index has been weak (mirroring what we are seeing in many stock indices).
Note that the following MarketSurge charts are built with Investors Business Daily’s product suite.

The price action speaks for itself. Price is below all 3 moving averages. Again, patience here.
