    The markets broke down yesterday on heavy volume.



    The McClellan indicator tells us that we are at a market top.



    Large stocks seem more vulnerable here, especially the NQ8 and XLK










    But fortunately MSFT published strong earnings yesterday, which helped ease the selling pressure.



    We can also see that the 10Y rate has eased down to 3.4%, which helped valuation back below overvaluation levels.






    Conclusions:

    Even though markets are not overvalued here and even if MSFT published good earnings, the Fed will probably raise rates again in May, which will be markets negative.

    I suspect that investors will sell the overnight bounce.

      Pascal, David Rosenburg forecast write up in a Market Watch article.

      In the oncoming future economic hardship that's being forecasted by economists has me seeking answers as to how is this recession and rate cut going to unfold? I would like hints on what indicators to check on, which one are messaging the trend?
      This article gives me a roadmap for the landmarks I might observe during this negative journey. Rosenburg may not be completely right, however I now have something to compare with data. Steve
