The market is jittery this morning as we await more economic data, more importantly inflation data.

In January, Fridays were very strong. In February, Fridays have overall traded higher but very lackluster.

Wall Street analysts keep raising their estimates.

This, of course, is happening as the prices of these stocks keep on going up.

This is classic behavior for bull markets.

You can see the revisions trend rising as the price of the S&P500 keeps heading higher:

This morning the market popped.

Then it faded most of the day until about 1:00 p.m. ET, when the rally started, right off of support.

$SPY dipped below 396.76, and then it bounced from there.

As I write this note, the only reason the market is up is because of $NVDA’s earnings.

We have GDP today, and that might change the tune. Hopefully, we continue to hold $SPY 400.

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as "a market of stocks."

Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher.

We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions. But there are always stocks that are going up.

The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too. 

We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as Hall of Famers, Minor Leaguers, and the 2 to 100 Club.

We filter these universes for stocks that are exhibiting the best momentum and relative strength characteristics. 

Clearly, we spend a lot of time identifying and writing about leading stocks every week, via multiple reports.

Now, we're also highlighting lagging stocks on a recurring basis.

Welcome to the Short Report.

$SPY struggled all day to stay above the 400 level.

Now we have support at 396.76. If we break that, we can see 393.20.

We've got FOMC minutes coming today, so let's be on our toes.

We still run the risk that the $SPX can head down to 3,950.

The largest insider transaction on today’s list is a Form 4 filing by Abdiel Capital Advisors.

The $SPX was down more than 1.5% today, but it was a slow and steady grind lower.

I didn't trade much today, as I want to wait for the right setup.
