View From The Hill (Jan – 5 – 2016): Markets Stuck In The Mud

Performance Summary

*Trends: ST = short-term; MT = Intermediate-term; LT = long-term

Market Condition

Don’t be fooled by today’s price action. Equity markets have not stabilized yet. Although momentum showed signs of being less bearish, market internals remain weak. A significant number of stocks advanced on lower volume (distribution) while the majority of those declining in price did so on lower volume (apathy) as well. We’re still stuck in the mud until either bulls or ears decide to commit in volume.
