Bullish evidence--New all-time highs for IWM small caps, XLI industrials, EEM emerging markets. Breadth still strong. Sentiment moderate. Ignore the bears.

[Robert W Colby @robertwcolby]

A more selective, mixed market appears to be developing. Large-cap U.S. stock price indexes confirmed a strong bull market trend, but momentum and breadth show moderate deterioration for the short term. See: https://t.co/6J1k7tTcf9

[Robert W Colby @robertwcolby]

Stock price indexes tell the story of the day. The big-cap benchmark S&P 500 and the technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite rose to new highs, again proving exactly where demand is strongest in the stock market. Overweight the best performers. https://t.co/6J1k7tTcf9

[Robert W Colby @robertwcolby]

The Bull is back! The S&P 500 index jumped 12.33% over the past 13 trading days—many bull markets began with similar large upthrusts. The technology-weighted, large-cap NASDAQ Composite is even stronger, up 17.67%. See: https://t.co/6J1k7tTcf9

Trump has made Iran an offer it can’t refuse, negotiate on his terms or risk a catastrophic outcome. But Iran clings to hope that Trump’s falling approval ratings may force him to blink first. https://t.co/6J1k7tTcf9

Fear and Loathing in the Middle East...

The Iran conflict is motivating Extreme Fear Investor Sentiment, which is bullish according to The Art of Contrary Opinion. https://t.co/6J1k7tTcf9

· $VIX and Put/Call Ratios spiked to 2 standard deviations above their means last week, while CNN Investor Sentiment fell into the Fear zone as the major technology stocks declined again on the same old AI fears. Fear is bullish, according to The Art of Contrary Opinion.

Minor price pullbacks won’t stop the bull. Despite a 5-day a minor price pullback, U.S. Equities remain in bullish major trends. International Equities rose to higher highs on Friday, signaling fresh bullish momentum. See: https://t.co/6J1k7tTK4H

Short-term momentum plunged steeply in reaction to news about new tariffs on Friday. Short-term trends change frequently, often in reaction to the latest news and rumors, and so they are fickle and unreliable. See: https://t.co/6J1k7tTK4H

[Robert W Colby @robertwcolby]

Accelerating short-term momentum for the stock market is bullish. See: https://t.co/6J1k7tTK4H
