The major indices are all pretty much where they were 12-months ago, and with this earnings season limping into its last few days, the most likely outcome for the summer is more tepid performance.
The markets
Last week I said that choppy conditions were like to continue through earnings, and that was a good call.
I also mentioned that the bearish setups generally looked tidier than the bullish ones, and this week we can see that there are actually more bearish Big Money Footprint setups than bullish.
Market Outlook:
Again, with some notable exceptions, earnings has been pretty dull and will likely continue in that vein. Moribund earnings seasons are typically followed by moribund conditions.
Watch the video for more detail.
The Main Indices:
The S&P is moving sideways above its Key Levels but it’s not looking particularly ‘compelling’. The QQQ looks, if anything a bit overbought. The IWM looks like the path of least resistance is down. The DIA looks wobbly as it bounces just on top of its 50-dma.
Market Timers:
- Longer Term Market Timer (OVIsi): Still half-green and likely to stay half-green this week.
- Medium Term Swing Timer: Neutral.
- SPY OVI: Marginally positive over the last few days, while the DIA’s has been negative, QQQ’s OVI has been positive, and the IWM’s has been negative.
Fast Filters Stock Selection:
As we complete earnings season I’m not expecting huge drama either way this week, but with so many consolidations forming, there could be some fun to be had not too far afterwards.
Here is a smaller list of stocks that look interesting for our consideration. Remember to reference the video so you know what my sentiment is on each one:

Software Upgrades:
Today I’m showing you some design improvements we’ll soon make to our latest deployments. Functionality is always important, but so is design, because it adds to your enjoyment and convenience.
Also, a huge upgrade to the Watchlist area is close at hand, which will give you more control and clarity.
Soon, we’ll make available the bearish version of Shrinking Retracements. This pattern is a game-changer, and we’ll make improvements to its accessibility in both directions for the December 2023 London Summit members.
By then we should also have our new charts, which will be among the biggest game-changers we’ve ever deployed.
During the summer we’ll release a whole new Journal app with an inbuilt calculator for you to be in control of risk at all times.
Then there will be the TV component so you can watch our education content or your mentors right next to the chart you’re looking at.

Events:
Stay tuned for our events to have a more practical based approach moving forward. Our technology advances allow this to happen, so you can “learn, practice and apply” all at the same time.
The Stocks Summit in London on 2nd December will be accompanied by huge new releases. We’ll also do a Foundation Day online the Saturday before the big event.
