  • Oil prices have gained about 3% this week even after the most recent profit taking.
  • North Korea Increasingly Defiant  –   North Korea said on Monday it had successfully conducted a mid- to-long-range missile test and would continue such launches “any time, any place”, defying UN Security Council resolutions and warnings from the United States.

  • Dow 30 – Currently at 20,896  – essentially neutral trading this morning (might be catching its breath after running up hard)
  • Nasdaq – Currently at 5,687 – Some bullish pre-market open momentum but the negative report by the Fed may dampen that.
  • Russel 2000  – Currently at 1390 – Still within its trading range (an iron condor trader’s dream)

Market Sectors:

When looking for bulls and bears remember that “a rising tide lifts all boats” so choose your bulls in a bullish sector and choose your bears in a bearish sector to get an edge.

XLE (Energy) has been the most bearish for the last few months though it has been having a bullish retracement since last week.

XLK (technology) has been very bullish followed by XLY (consumer discretionary)
