US stocks have bounced back from the brief dip into Friday’s lows and many indices have pushed to new highs. The evidence points to more ‘churning’ hereabouts as top extensions continue to appear, so we wouldn’t follow this strength. Here are two examples of those signals from the many that are possible. Today also marks the month’s biggest turn (see the current AlphaMail) so another dip (at least) seems likely from hereabouts.
Meanwhile some other financial markets are generating compression signals. Ten-year Treasury notes are compressed at a weekly scale, while the $ index has made a couple of daily-scale compressions. There is an increase in volatility coming and probably new trends – watch for the break:
In Europe, where stocks have not ‘caught light’ as they have in the US, there are some equity index compressions, at daily and weekly scales. These are not yet widespread, but here are two examples from the North and the South. They also warn of new trends coming soon:
