Pageviews past week

Friday, June 06, 2025

Markets took off to the upside after a better than expected jobs report as the Dow gained 443 points on average volume. The advance/declines were 2 to 1 positive. This will move the summation index back up. The NASDAQ was the leader and that's a positive for the bulls. There was a gap higher at the open and stocks moved sideways from there for the rest of the session. The S&P 500 made it past 6000 today and closed at that level. New all time highs on the horizon? We'll see. The S&P remains short term overbought and that potential negative RSI divergence on the daily chart is still in place for now. I did place another order for the SPY June puts overnight but canceled it this morning before it got filled. The short term sell signal that we got was extremely short term. It only lasted for yesterday. We are going to have to look things over this weekend to decide on a plan for next week. Gold dropped $40 on the futures. The US dollar was higher along with interest rates. The XAU fell 4 1/2 and GDX was off 1 1/2. Volume was good to the downside. The short term indicators for GDX have started to roll over. No GDX trade for now. Mentally I'm feeling OK. The VIX was lower today after it looked like it wanted to start to go higher yesterday. It is now at its lowest level in the past 3 months. It also remains short term oversold. Well below the 20 level and it now seems as though the VIX is implying that the rally will live on. We've got inflation on tap next week along with a US/China trade meeting on Monday. So there will be excuses for the markets to move. I'll go over the charts this weekend to try and figure out the next move. Asia and Europe were generally higher to complete the week. It's Friday afternoon and time for a break.
