Taking Water

Small Caps and Tech are the downside leaders with widespread selling en vogue last week.

No change to Neutral bias. Keep a tight leash on anything, bullish or bearish. These market bellwethers will do their thing, but it’s not yet clear if everyone else will sing.

Biotechs, one of our favorite tells on market sentiment, took a heavy, high-vol hit last week, and should be watched especially closely for any strong move south of its 50 and 200 MA’s..

Bulls are intact on the charts for this week’s screen. Interpret any crumbling here as another dent in the bull’s potential.
