COMMENTARY

Some time off was just what the U.S. markets needed, as the holiday shortened week saw prices rally above their 20-day moving averages (our first clear buy signal of 2016). Even better, the new uptrend was confirmed midweek by price and volume action. OEW has yet to confirm, but an uptrend is highly likely. That said, we're still well below the 50 and 200 day moving averages.

The market outlook "Mixed", reflecting the improved short-term conditions.
