The daily charts in many of the stock market indices I review have negative wedge patterns in place.
I expect this will lead to some near-term weakness.
The Dow Transports and Utilities are in a weak position and we expect more weakness in the days to come there.
The S&P 500 tagged the 0.618 Fibonacci price retracement and an MFU-2 target area with last weeks high. The wedge pattern on the daily timeframes has us concerned “short-term”.
I see the same setup for the Russell 2000, Mid-Cap (MDY), and Dow Transports.
The Dow Utilities had a hard break below 787, which we pointed out last week. There is a negative MFU downside target in place, so I am a net seller.
I believe the MOB bands which held many of these stock market indices have marked the lows and don’t expect a full retracement back down to the March lows. My expectation is we see near-term weakness that will ultimately provide a good buying opportunity.
