Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +5.0% (Transports), +4.6% (Nasdaq comp'), +3.9% (NYSE comp'), +3.8% (SPX), to +3.3% (Dow).

Lets take our regular look at five of the main US indexes (monthly candle charts)

sp'500


Nasdaq comp'


Dow


NYSE comp'


Trans



Summary

All five US equity indexes settled net higher for the week.

The Transports lead the way higher, with the Dow lagging.

More broadly, all five US equity indexes are trading above their respective monthly 10MA, and I see the m/t trend as bullish. 

To deem the l/t trend as bullish, I need to see m/t support hold for 18mths from the month where the market settled above its 10MA. In the case of the SPX, that was May, and would take us to Oct'2021, which is clearly a considerable way out.
