2/23/2025 Markets were lower for the week, as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 Funds went up and made slightly higher highs, but could not push thru. This caused Selling from a possible “False Break Out”. But it is normal to fail up at Resistance the first time, and pull back down near the Red Lines (50-day avgs.) Then the Bulls are hoping for a “Cup & Handle” pattern back up to new highs (Bullish).
The strongest Leaders are finally coming back down to the Green Zones for more Swing Trade Buys soon. But the broader Market is not participating much in this rally, so it has been harder to make money on Swing Trades. Only 53 % of the S&P 500 Stocks are above the 50-day average. This is a Bearish sign, and could be a Warning to the Bulls.
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.

QUESTION: Brian writes ” Is there anyway to make your strategy work in the German markets or the forex game. Like things without sctr values?”
ANSWER: Yes Brian, the Green Line System works with ALL Investments and Mutual Funds that can be Charted.
If there is no Symbol, you can manually make a Chart like we did before computers existed. Make sure the Investment stays Above the Green Line (250 day ema).
Determining SCTR or Relative Strength would be trickier. Most Relative Strength systems use computers to compare the Investment to the S&P 5oo index, or to all Investments that are in the database.
