Stock Market Rally Struggles: What To Do Now
On Monday, the stock market finished with modest losses, extending Thursday’s sharp declines.
Even though the underlying uptrend is still intact, it’s time to proceed with a greater degree of caution. Be wary of most new purchases and focus only on stocks that have exceptional fundamentals and heavy-volume breakouts past correct buy points. Also, be flexible. The market may rebound and move back into “confirmed uptrend,” or the heavy selling could persist and lead to a correction.
Thursday’s The Big Picture column cautioned, “The Nasdaq has wiped out all gains from its March 18 follow-through and is below its 50-day moving average. The S&P 500 is still above its March 16 follow-through, for now.”
