At The Frontier in the Bear Bull Battle

A quick visual to explain why this market is creating so many disparate conclusions. The chart for the $QQQ below is breaking higher into new ground from the basing channel after a strong day Monday…

….with the $DIA in agreement also spending the day above the channel …….

…..but the $SPY is a bit less convincing, not over yesterdays levels…..

…..and the $IWM barely hanging on with a possible long legged doji in the making (a reversal signal)…..

Bulls wanted a true conviction up day for follow through. This would show up as a relatively long white candle with a small or no upper shadow. This is only close to happening in the $QQQ but not far behind in the $DIA. Bears are looking for the weakness that is appearing in the shadows of the $IWM and $SPY. Each side has what they want. Stalemate, for now. Breaking the doji candles higher will likely force more Bears to close out shorts and Bulls will add. And a fall back below the basing channel top will reinvigorate the Bears as the Bulls dump their positions.
