So far, November’s markets have been a nice respite from the volatility of October, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average actually gained about 900 points. Investors—for the most part—seem to be ignoring China tariffs, impeachment hearings, and Brexit. And why not? After all, the economy remains strong and sentiment—as you’ll see in our Advisor Sentiment Barometer, as well as in our Market Views—remains very bullish.

Still bullish
The broad stock market continues to plow ahead, as $SPX has made new closing or intraday all-time highs on 10 of the last 14 days, including the last two. Thus, momentum is strong and the $SPX chart remains bullish. The $SPX and $VIX charts are bullish, while other indicators are on or near sell signals, and/or are in very overbought states. That’s not as bullish as things were a week or more ago, but it’s still bullish.

A Little Cautious
Investors are justified in maintaining long positions in the stock market. However, I recommend holding off in initiating new long positions until the new 52-week lows on both exchanges dwindle to below 40 on a daily basis for several days. Right now, there’s simply too much internal selling taking place in the energy and biopharma sectors, and while I don’t believe this is sufficiently strong to give the bears a major advantage, it could be enough to temporarily halt the bull’s advance at some point in the coming weeks. I’m still bullish, but we’ll need to remain vigilant in the coming weeks and watch for continued signs of weakness.
