Economic Modern Family Has Divisive Weekly Charts

Over the weekend I covered the Daily charts on the Economic Modern Family, featuring the Russell 2000 () and Retail ().Both are lagging behind the benchmark and in the middle of their January trend calendar ranges.As Semiconductors, NASDAQ, the Dow, and the S&P 500 continue to post new all-time highs and clear the January trend highs, I keep looking for evidence that the rest of the Family will either soon follow or anchor.Hence, I turn to the weekly charts.Only Semiconductors () and Transportation () are in weekly bullish phases (when the 50-WMA-blue- is above the 200-DMA-green- along with the price.)While SMH is off to new highs, IYT has a distance to go even in its bullish phase.What about the rest of the Family?The good news is that none are in bearish phases.Regional Banks (), and Biotechnology are in resistance and in recovery phases as both are priced below the 200-WMA.Plus, the 50-WMA is below rather than above the 200-WMA.As KRE and IBB are in the weakest weekly phases, both areas are vulnerable to a sell-off.Retail () sits right on the 200-WMA and is in a weekly accumulation phase.I believe that the Retail sector is the key to what happens next given:

  • The widening ratio between the price of growth and Family sectors
  • Earnings of beg tech
  • Fed meeting end of the month and interest rate policy
  • Inflation numbers and particularly the price of food
  • The consumer sector has been in the game, but now, shows some signs of fatigue. XRT will tell us what comes next.More By This Author:Drilling Down Into Gold And SilverBetting On The Fed: Three Likely Scenarios That May Determine 2024Markets: Recap Of This Week’s Market Daily’s
