The view from Alert HQ --
The buildup in BUY signals on our Swing Signals list gave us a suspicion that a rally was on the way. Sure enough, that's what we've had this week. The number of Swing Trading Signals today has receded but the majority are BUY signals. If they are truly a leading indicator, the outlook now should be that the rally is slowing down.
On the other hand, our list of Trend Leaders continues to bulk up. It has been steadily growing and reflecting the return of bullishness to the market as more and more stocks and ETFs begin to display strong uptrends.
A further confirmation of the positive tone is found in our Trend Busters list where BUY signals dominate SELL signals three-to-one.
