Chart of the Day 


๐Ÿ† Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Brian Shannon (@alphatrends).
 

  • Today was the worst day for stocks in three weeks, although the decline was pretty mild. The Nasdaq ($QQQ) was the weakest of the bunch, falling just -0.7%.
     
  • Brian shows four bellwether ETFs ($SPY, $QQQ, $SMH, $IWM), with three short-term trend indicators:

     โšซ๏ธ AVWAP from Thursday's rate cut
     ๐ŸŸ  5-Day Simple Moving Average
     ๐Ÿ”ต Month-to-Date AVWAP
     
  • All four ETFs closed above all three indicators. Despite today's stumble, the short-term trend remains higher for these key ETFs.

    The Takeaway: Despite today's stumble, the uptrend remains intact for $SPY, $QQQ, $SMH, and $IWM, across all time frames.
