Weekly 360° view – 04 / 2012

.

Price Action

[neutral]

Volatility continues to decrease on multiple time-frames (F) as the market remains overbought (E). A combination of very low volatility within an overbought market triggers a negative signal (J).

..

Seasonality

[positive]

Seasonality is bullish for week 4 (C/D).

.

Breadth

[negative]

Market Breadth (J) is up, though significantly overbought.

.

Sectors

[negative]

Sector leadership (K/L) changed during the week. While XLI (Industrials) continued it’s run, XLY (Consumer Discretionary) came in second. XLI/XLY combination signals a healthy environment. Combined with an intermediate oversold filter we’ve got a slightly negative setup.

.

Bonds

[positive]

The bond market (M) continues to improve as risk willingness is increasing. Given the small sample size this setup has a lower significance.

.

Outlook

Last week’s call worked out! While the overall environment continues to improve the market is significantly overbought and due for a pull-back. For the coming week I expect a lower  low than the week’s open.
