Yesterday we pointed out the lack of follow through in market indices with an indicator note stating: “ADRO chart we often show that requires an immediate rise in prices to avoid short term sell signals”. Again the immediate rally Monday to a new high failed and at this point the ADRO has shifted to negative as we still await potential market moving news on Wednesday when the GDP for the first quarter will be reported. [wlmprivate “Annually|Bi-Annually|Monthly|Free Trial”] This is a poor environment for KDelta type signals with failed breakout rallies staying essentially in a narrow trading range. As mentioned in previous updates, normal oscillators that confirm Buy and Sell signals short term in a narrow trading range time frame are of low confidence. The markets require news that can shift the balance of economic data away from the status quo toward either further surprising economic weakness or a surprising rebound in strength. The markets want weak data for higher prices and economic strength to send prices lower. With the GDP report upon us Wednesday and other potentially important data throughout the week the markets will be looking for clues that will cause prices to break out of their multi-month trading range.
