Chart of the Day
π Todayβs Chart of the Day was shared by David Cox. (@DavidCoxRJ).
- The Nasdaq ($QQQ) has been unchanged over the past two weeks. However, David points out that the next two weeks have historically been strong.
- Earlier this week, Jeff Hirsch of The Stock Traders Almanac examined this seasonal tailwind in a note titled βChristmas in July.β
- Jeff noted, βThis 12-day run has been up 30 of the past 39 years with an average historical gain of +2.5%. Look for this rally to begin around June 26 and run until about July 12.β
The takeaway: The Nasdaq ($QQQ) has been indecisive for two weeks now, printing back-to-back Doji candles. Given this seasonal tailwind over the next two weeks, $QQQ *should* resolve decisively higher in the coming days. But, if it resolves lower during this bullish period, it will be a red flag.
Quote of the Day
βFeeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.β
β William Arthur Ward
