S&P 500 (SPX, SP500)

The S&P 500 posted a strong showing today rising by about 50 basis points, while the NASDAQ fell by 50 bps. But the encouraging signs are that the NASDAQ and some big technology names finished well off theirย lows.

NASDAQ

The NASDAQ managed to stay above technical support at 7,280, but it also failed to rise above the long-term uptrend. We need to see the NASDAQ get above that uptrend.

The next chart shows the importance of that long-term uptrend. So we will want to see the index climb over that red uptrend line, to sustain any bullishย momentum that it is building.

Apple (AAPL)

I really can’t believeย all the hoopla around Apple and iPhone units. Really, why is this such a big deal?ย  I had to turn off the TV and stop watching it. Itย is almost as bad Tesla and the Model 3 production ramp.

But I’ll tell you; it took only one day for the reports out of Asiaย to start that Apple was scaling backs iPhone XR production. One day! The company reported results on Thursday night, and by this morning, we were reading that Apple is cutting XR production.ย  A perfect example of why Apple isn’t given these sales unit.ย  This is what we heard for half of last year, but amazingly Apple sold an awful lot of iPhone. I suspect this year will not be any different.ย  I have the iPhone XS Max; it is beyond awesome. The screen is amazing.

This all about the transformation of the business into a service orientated ecosystem model and away from the hardware side.

I still think the stock is fine, but should it fall,ย  support is around $195.ย  Where did our mystery buyer go?

Netflix (NFLX)

Netflix had a nice turn higher today after falling to support around $306. I have been fishing the last few days trying to find an uptrend in the stock.ย  I still think the stock has a clear path to $332.

Amazon (AMZN)

Amazon fell again today too, but it also managed to hang around support at $1,620.ย Still, that is a fairly reasonable sign that it too can lift to perhapsย $1750

Alibaba (BABA)

Alibaba failed at its downtrend around and resistance at $151, we could be looking at a retest of the lows.

Look at the way analysts keep slashing their estimates for next year.

AMD

AMD may be on its way lower towards $16 again. Look how it failed at $21 and then again $19.95.

China

The Shanghai Composite is pretty close to a breakout, which could send it higher on its way to 2,720. That would be positive for our market too.

That is it for today.
