Welcome to Momentum Monday.

Though markets seem to be heating up - there has really been a dearth of company announcements. Expected to see more half year business / sales updates coming over the next few weeks as Accounting departments get out of their holiday mode. While the results are unknown, what we do know is that there will be plenty volatility (we hope)

Broader Market Sentiment

We look at the direction of both the US and ASX markets to gain an understanding of the broader sentiment at the minute. It is important to stress here that I DO NOT use this to time my entry or exit out of stocks. I prefer to use the individual charts of stocks to do that. However I find it useful in helping us determine how aggressive/cautious traders should be in their trading. In short the more positive the broader market is the more risks you can take and vice versa.

US / S&P500

While markets have been busy, we do get some respite on Monday as markets close for Martin Luther King Day. For the record, the S&P500 closed up for the week, and back at close to all-time high levels.
