Intermediate-Term Outlook for the Indices Is Bleak

It was a very slow day with light volume, but once again oils stocks were strong, financials weak and the broad market lackluster. Although the indices were close to flat, we had more than two stocks declining for everyone one that advanced. However, the strength in oil stocks covered up weakness elsewhere and made things look better than they really were.



The technical condition of the major indices looks precarious at best, and even a bounce here would look to be nothing more than a setup for another leg down. The action isn't terrible, but there is no energy out there, and outside of oil stocks, there is little buying interest. We are a bit oversold, which is bringing in a few bounce players and may help to hold us up a while longer, but the intermediate picture of the indices is downright bleak, especially the DJIA, which is barely hanging about the lows of the year.

As I wrote this morning, my big concern about this market is that the Nasdaq and small-caps are going to catch-up with the DJIA and S&P 500 to the downside. The action today did nothing to change my view, and I believe it is just a matter of time before the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 break down further.

While we may see some sort of bounce soon, there is no reason to anticipate that a market bottom is at hand. Stay patient and protect that capital.

Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.
