Don Worden of Worden Brothers (makers of Telechart software) used to keep a trend table before his health issues got in the way. I always found it useful. Mine is slightly different. Hopefully helpful. Up? or Dn? means loss of momentum. ? by itself means trend is neutral. ?+ or ?- means trend is neutral with bias of up(+) or down (-)

Daily update 5/10

A little selling on the tariff news, but buyers showed up around noon.

SPX made a wide range bullish engulfing bar. Breadth was +62% which is quite strong for this situation. New highs were stable at 72. New lows were down considerably at 60.

The futures tested down to new lows this morning, but bounced strongly. This looks like a good bounce off the 200 SMA.

The stage is set for a bounce next week which is option expiration. The bulls just need to show some follow through. I have not heard how China will retaliate for the increased tariffs. What that means for the market when they make their move remains to be seen. First things first though. Lets see if the bulls show up on Monday.
