MTI Dropped 0.02 to 1.01 - Third Consecutive Neutral Reading

The Major Trend Index dropped 0.02 to 1.01 in the latest week, its third consecutive neutral reading after four weeks in bearish territory. While the blue chip U.S. averages continue to record nominal new highs on an almost daily basis, the relatively modest gains in the MTI’s Momentum/Breadth/Divergence category during this bounce suggest the market’s internal underpinnings remain weaker than in the first half of 2014 (and throughout 2013, for that matter). Our tactical funds remain positioned with 50% net equity exposure.
