The Market’s Traffic Lights

I wanted to offer up a simple metaphor for where I think the market is by way of a traffic light. In each of the five charts below:

+ the green tint represents the level which, should the price drop beneath it, meaningful weakness in the market is affirmed;

+ the yellow tint represents the level which, should the price go above it, further weakens the bear case (which has already been weakened by staggering market strength);

+ the red (OK, magenta) tint represents the level which, should the price go above it, means the bears are pretty much screwed once more.

So here we have the Dow Jones Composite:

1025-comp

 

The NASDAQ Composite:

1025-compq

 

The Dow Industrials:

1025-indu

 

The Russell 2000:

1025-rut

 

And, a favorite of mine, the high yield index fund:

1025-hyg
