The market is in the middle of its46th week since the March lows and the rally remains intact, albeit under serious pressure from our point of view. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sliced and closed below its 50 DMA line on heavy volume for the first time since October which is an ominous sign. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 closed above their respective 50 DMA lines which, in the near term, is a healthy sign. Now that the market is clearly under pressure one would be wise to adjust their exposure accordingly.
