All the major averages turned in gains this week. That doesn't hide the fact that bulls and bears are currently battling to see whether stocks can break to decisive new highs. The S&P 500 looks tired while the NASDAQ looks ready to push onward and upward. The Dow is also looking good while the Russell 2000, having failed to regain its 50-DMA, looks ready to capitulate. As you can see, there is little agreement between sectors, styles or investors.
That leaves us to try to read the intentions of Mr. Market from the clues provided by Alert HQ. As I have been saying all week (and last week, too) BUY signals greatly outnumber SELL signals; therefore, the primary trend is still UP. Looking for stocks that are not already at their peaks? Then the Alert HQ daily BUY signals, the Swing Trading Signals and the Trend Busters are providing plenty of candidates. This suggests that the market has room to move higher. With the Trend Leaders list holding less than 300 stocks or ETFs, we have another indicator saying that stocks still have room to run.
To give the bears their due, however, the choppy action of the last few days has definitely put a damper on our signals. The fact that, for the first time, we have absolutely no Alert HQ BUY signals based on weekly data shows that stocks could be bumping up against some serious near-term resistance.
With earnings season coming to a close, investors will need some new catalysts to justify a push to new highs, something besides a falling dollar. There have been some positive signs like M&A in the tech sector. Let's hope the coming week's retail sales and industrial production reports are equally positive.
