Major Stocks Approach Critical Buy & Sell Signals
Stock index futures are pointing lower Tuesday morning, with the Dow showing the greatest weakness and moving beyond its recent comfort zone. Crude oil is breaking above the July highs and approaching $150, while gold is pulling back. The VIX remains a key focus as seasonal volatility increases, and a position in VIX bull ETFs has already been established ahead of a potential new buy signal.
The market remains mixed beneath the surface, with several major technology stocks approaching important trend-change levels. Apple is close to a potential sell signal, Amazon and Shopify could generate buy signals, while Microsoft and Tesla are approaching sell levels. Nvidia also produced a bearish reversal day, although it remains above the previous day’s low. The key takeaway is to watch the upper and lower FlyPaper Channel boundaries for confirmation before making new moves.
