Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Ian McMillan (@the_chart_life). The Dow rose for the seventh straight day and officially joined the new 52-week high club today. Ian points out that price decisively cleared resistance around $34,500 after numerous failed attempts over the past year. The major indices are joining the new 52-week high club one by one. The Nasdaq was the first to break out in May, then the S&P 500 in June, and now the Dow in July. The Russell 2000 is the only major index that hasn’t made new 52-week highs yet, but it’s just 2.5% away from joining the club.
Quote of the Day
“A scare of shorts after a considerable decline sometimes brings a very rapid rise.”

The @carsonresearch team is currently overweight small and midcaps, as we expect these little loved areas to lead large caps the rest of '23.
Is the breakout happening, just as relative strength is turning higher for real?

Russell 2000 working on second consecutive month of outperformance relative to S&P 500 … not enough to solve for prior three months of relative losses, but a step in right direction

$SPX Bullish Percent Index now well above the key 70% level. That means we're going up, big time. The problem is when this indicator breaks back below 70%, which has usually been a fantastic signal for pullback mode. Not yet… pic.twitter.com/qKHHAigNK1
