Chart of the Day
Todayโs Chart of the Day was shared by Austin Harrison (@meanstoatrend). We have a tale of two markets on our hands right now. The Nasdaq closed at seven month highs on Friday, while Micro Caps ($IWC) ended the week at fresh bear market lows. $IWC peaked almost exactly two years ago, and itโs currently down more than 35% from those all-time highs. Itโs testing a key level around $100, which coincides with the pre-Covid highs. This level has already been successfully tested twice in the past year. Itโs holding up so far this week, but if it breaks, it will be a major red flag as Small and Micro Cap stocks often lead the broader market higher or lower.
Quote of the Day
โWhen the message of the market is not clear the message IS CLEAR! Stand aside, go slow, be patient until the next move reveals itself.โ
