Let’s make this real easy.
After inflation data, speculation on the next moves from the FED, fears of recession, calls for soft landing and so forth and so on, I want, no crave, simplicity.
Calling on my Economic Modern Family, we got 2 of them offering us the easy answers of what comes next in the overall market.
Our dear Granny Retail XRT will tell us a lot after the economic data already out, and then the retail sales and earnings reports.

This is a weekly chart.
With price sitting right on the 50-weekly moving average, if IYT closes above it or below it, next moves will be obvious.
For those playing along, that number is 64.25-write it on a post it and paste it to your computer screen.
Yes friends, with some patience and a plan with real numbers, you can do this.
