I am all for an enormous rally with a hammer printing on the long-term weekly chart, particularly at 20-week EMA help. That is precisely what occurred on Friday on the Dow Jones Industrial Common ($INDU). This index of conglomerates had been underperforming different areas of the inventory market badly and, on Friday, was on the verge of printing its lowest weekly shut since again in January. The April low weekly shut was 37983.24 and Friday’s low was 38000.96. So after posting an all-time excessive weekly (and every day) shut at 40003.59 simply two weeks in the past, the Dow Jones was on the verge of shifting to a detailed that wasn’t too removed from a 2024 low weekly shut.
Then the shopping for occurred:
Throughout secular bull market advances, it is essential to carry onto 20-week EMA help and the Dow did simply that. The Dow climbed over 300 factors within the final 20 minutes. It was a implausible end.
So what’s to not like about it? What is the reverse of a “silver lining?” Possibly “each rose has its thorn?”
Effectively, here is the thorn:
That backside panel reveals that, whereas the general market made a HUGE reversal, with the S&P 500 climbing all the best way again to the place it was early within the week, the XLK lagged WAY behind on a relative foundation. Rotation is part of the sport and typically, even throughout stable bull markets, we’ll see cash rotate away from know-how. However let’s hold one factor in thoughts. Know-how (XLK) represents 29.2% of the S&P 500. Know-how represents 49.29% of the NASDAQ 100 ($NDX), whereas representing simply 18.6% of the Dow Jones.
My level right here is that if we’re witnessing rotation away from know-how, even for only a transient time period, we should always count on to see outperformance of areas with out as a lot know-how publicity – just like the Dow Jones. And after seeing that Dow reversal off its 20-week EMA, I consider we’ll see the Dow Jones outperform throughout the month of June.
