DP Weekly Wrap: A Gap I Don't Like

Last week we were looking at a possible bearish island reversal on one hand, and nascent parabolic advance on the other. This week's decline filled the island gap, making the island proposition moot. The decline also reached down to touch the parabolic arc, but so far that 'support' has held. Of more immediate interest is the gap between the most recent VIX top and the top Bollinger Band. More on that to follow.

Since the semiconductors are GROUND ZERO for the trade war, it will most likely depend on the outcome... Electronics compose the bulk of the trade with China... So a deal cannot be ruled out on this... and that could be the possible enabler for one more run in these stocks as well as Nasdaq...

 

Here's something to watch... the 2000 "Dotcom" high on the SOX index is 1362.10

 

Friday's close - 1360.77.

The small caps still appear to be in their topping process... the unknown is whether wave-5 extends... and if so, for how far.  The momentum indicator line is still above the 100 support and its UTL... so despite a decent amount of negative divergence of momentum against price, the up trend is still in tact.
