What to Do With a “Failed” Buy Signal – Market Minute

​

What to Do With a “Failed” Buy Signal​

The buy signal was a bust. Oddly enough, though, that’s bullish.

Let me explain…

Last Friday, I boasted about the success of NYSE Summation Index (NYSI) buy signals. All seven of the previous signals since the start of 2024 led to immediate stock market rallies. So, I suggested readers should put money to work following last week’s NYSI buy signal.

That signal failed on Friday when the NYSI closed back below its 9-day EMA. Here’s the updated chart…

All of this is to suggest that no matter how ugly it may get early this week, buying into the decline will likely prove profitable in the weeks ahead – especially if we see extremely oversold conditions on the daily indicators.

Best regards and good trading,

Small Caps: IWM/VTWO - Long some shares of VTWO for tomorrow's tariff news. We shall see how it plays out, and this is a small position. I sold everything during yesterday's rip. I continue to be in the BTD sell the RIPs mode. For now, I'm mainly day trading.

I will add a few more shares of VTWO "IF" we move lower into the close.

VIX moving lower into the close: I have a small position going into tomorrows tariff talk.... You can bet some in Trump's circle know what is going to happen tomorrow, and are probably trading it.

Daily small cap chart after the close: It sure looks like we are in the process of bottoming. We shall what tomorrow brings! Hmmm.... Tariff talk happens after the stock market closes. 4 pm ET.

IWM monthly: Testing the 50 month MA. Month 5 of lower highers...... We shall see what the rest of the week brings.

S Fund monthly: So far, holding above the 20 month MA. The index is not so oversold based on the monthly data.... However, it remains below the 2021 high.

The VIX is moving higher in early trading as we all wait for the tariff news.

So far a nice bounce in early trading. So there is the news from Trump after the market closes, and then we wait to see if there are counter-tariffs.

Daily chart of indexes I'll be looking to trade again tomorrow: I'm still only day-trading.... That means selling all positions before the close. For those that held, maybe a bounce is coming....

Flat going into tomorrow. I placed limit orders to buy MGK under 300.00. Not sure it will get there..... We shall see if buyers come in during early trading. The futures are well off their lows, but are very low. It's the close tomorrow I'll be watching...

Good luck to all trading this market..... A big move lower for the dollar!

Worse Case Scenario​

April 3, 2025

Stocks dropped 4.84% on Thursday. Thursday was only day 15 of a failed daily cycle. Stocks could trend lower for another 2 – 3 weeks to get in their timing band for a daily cycle low. Stocks are currently in a daily downtrend. Forming a swing high below the lower daily cycle band indicates a continuation of its daily downtrend and signals a cycle band sell signal.

Worse Case Scenario

Prior to Trump’s speech, markets were expecting a 10% tariff across the board – -which did not happen. Stocks broke below the day 41 low on Monday but formed a bullish reversal. It look…
