This weeks Members Midweek Video focuses on some of the recent areas of weakness, like the Semiconductors groups, plus brief reviews of some of other featured groups in the last few months – as well as the regular midweek features on the indexes, short term market breadth charts and the watchlist stocks in focus.

The major US stock markets continued to pullback sharply today, with strong follow through on the downside in laggard groups, such as Semiconductors that I mentioned previously. Most of the indexes remain in the upper half of the recent trading range though, and are testing both their short and long term MAs, with closes below the 21 day EMA in the Nasdaq and Russell 2000...

Semiconductor group was hit again today with many stocks in the group dropping back below their 50 day MAs again. So the group is in danger of falling into Stage 4 if the weakness persists, as the weekly chart failed at the now declining 30 week MA last week and the relative strength versus the S&P 500 is making new lows ahead of the price action...

The laggard groups were in control again today with strong moves in the majority of the weak RS groups lead by the Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary and Technology sectors, which helped the Nasdaq Indexes to move back towards the top of the range...

The purpose of the RS tables is to track the short, medium and long term RS changes of the individual groups to find the new leadership earlier than the crowd...

A strong pullback at the end of the day in the US stock market, which dropped the indexes back into the recent ranges. The Nasdaq Composite for example (see above) has formed an Upthrust (UT) at the top of the range, and todays sharp drop saw it close around an area that has acted as support and resistance on multiple occasions in the last year. So it is a potential level of interest to see how it reacts against in the coming days.
