8/17/2025 Markets were higher again for the week, as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 Funds were able to go above the recent highs, but on lower Volume. The S&P 500 is still holding up but will eventually dip down and meet again with the Red Line (50-day avg.).
“Buy the Dip” investors, are still coming in as the HERD has MAX FOMO, and wants to get ALL Invested on this Buying Stampede. This panic Buying is very similar to the 2021 Top of FOMO Buying, after the end of COVID. Small Caps were up 3 % for the week, as the sector was lagging way behind.
The Strongest Stocks and Indices are extremely overbought now after the April Fear Flush. Smart Money is Raising Cash to be able to Buy these Leaders on the next pull-back.
We Buy the strongest Leaders that make new highs, on pull-backs. So follow the Green Line System and you should continue to win more than you lose. SEE WATCH LIST
With the Green Line System, your Money should flow into the Strongest areas and your Account value should be able to grow in both Bull and Bear Markets. Follow the MONEY, not the MEDIA.
