If I were talking about the NASDAQ making a new high with many stocks setting up in proper bases it would be a near certainty that the buy switch would go back on. Many leading stocks have been damaged and need time to repair, so time to be cautious.

If we had a target rich environment with quality stocks breaking out and working I would consider entering some positions in advance of a FTD. I just don't see it that way right now.
Thanks for your input. Sort of my thinking too.

Best,
