In yesterday's blog on the broad stock market and our current short position in it, I wrote:
"We can have a stop loss for this trade now based on the DOW exceeding its June 16 high (34,589), the S&P 500 closing above 4,500, and the NASDAQ closing above 14,000. "
Well, today the S&P 500 is closing above 4,500, and the NASDAQ is closing above 14,000. The DOW, however, is acting bearish and seems to be staying below its June 16 high. Both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are rallying strongly today, but the DOW is not, so we are getting mixed signals in this market. I am tempted to stay short as a correction could be imminent, but it seems like there is now a good chance this rally could continue with a high into next week's reversal zone (July 18 - 26). I am going to cover (unload) my short position in the broad stock market now with a small loss. We may be able to recover this loss by selling short any new highs in this new reversal zone over the next two weeks.
