Money Wave Alert! Aug 17, 2020

XRT Chart
The Retail Fund (XRT) made a High today.

Markets were slightly higher today as the S&P 500 Index is trying again to get up to the Feb High. Markets seem to be waiting on more Stimulus Fuel to go higher, but Congress is not helping. Many Leading Stocks pulled back recently to create Money Wave Buy Signals, but several of them Gapped Up more than 4% today which makes the Buying difficult. 

Normally the S&P 500 Index will have profit taking up around the Feb Highs and it needs to stay above the Pink Line (10-day avg.) of 3354, to remain Bullish.

Please WAIT for more Leaders to pop up out of the Green Zones for Money Wave Buy Signals soon. The better trades happen when the S&P 500 Index is also in the Green Zone. (Now the S&P 500 is back up in the Red Zone).

Please remember that the Markets are up 51% from the March Lows, and are over-bought from “Good News” Buyers. 

Bonds  were up today. 

Crude Oil was down $0.96 today at $42.84.

NEW TOP 100 LIST Updated Aug 4, 2020

Many like to Buy the day before, near the Close, if the Money Wave is going to create a Buy Signal (Closing > 20 and out of the Green Zone).

Don’t Buy if the Investment has already popped up too much. Money Wave Buys are usually good for a 3-6 %  move in a few days.

We will “Not Log” trades if the Reward/Risk is not at least 2:1.
