Fed Balance Sheet Right Now Says Bears Should Get Ready to Rumble

Despite the fact that the Fed is no longer the only driver of the markets in one direction, it still plays a role indirectly. So we still monitor the Fed’s weekly balance sheet. It is still the timeliest source of data on several critical market drivers. It’s published weekly, virtually in real time, with data through the current Wednesday, published on Thursday after the financial markets close.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

The numbers and the discussion are dry, and can be dense, so I’ve been thinking about ways that I could relate those numbers to the reality of stocks and bond prices on the ground, without putting you to sleep.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Then it dawned on me!  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

So, in this report I present a few charts of the Liabilities side of the Fed’s balance sheet. They show us that maybe we shouldn’t be so sanguine about the continuation of this bull market. In fact, it looks like something bad is coming, and soon.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

No Way Gold Has Forceful Breakout – 1/26/24

Short-term cycles are opposed. That normally leads to rangebound chop. The longer intermediate cycles also appear to be opposed. The result is a triangle pattern. As price gets closer to the apex a forceful breakout…    Non-subscribers click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Adding Shorts

The pick list gained a tad in the past week. It currently shows an average gain of 1.6% on an average holding period of 18 calendar days. That’s up from an average gain of 0.3% on an average holding period of 15 calendar days the week before. This includes currently open picks and those that have hit stops over the past week. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

Over the past two trading sessions there were 18 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 77 with a second sell signal. Do I detect a theme? In the previous week there were 46 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 161 with a second sell signal. I took a look at all of the charts and walked away with no new buys and 5 new shorts. I’ll give them a little room to breathe before adding stops. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I will start tracking the new picks based on a price assuming a half position at the open and half at the close today, January 25, 2024. I have added or adjusted stops on most of the picks. See the current stop levels on the table. Non-subscribers click here for access.

We’ll be running with 18 open picks this week including the 5 new ones. Of those, only 5 will be longs, and 13 are shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Primary Dealers Are Maxed Out Again

The dealers have gone to an extreme of leverage against their bond positions for the second time since last July.  Back then, the extreme lasted for about a month, and it coincided with an intermediate top in stock prices and an accelerated decline in bond prices and the necessary inverse rise in yields.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Gold has broken trend support and is taking aim at the next support level around xxxx. This does not bode well for an upside breakout on the next rally. But if they hold above xxxx, the outlook would still be moderately bullish for the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx period. Non-subscribers click here for access.

The pick list is currently treading water, consistent with the market as a whole. It currently shows an average gain of 0.3% on an average holding period of 15 calendar days, including currently open picks and those that have hit stops over the past week. Yawn. Non-subscribers click here for access.

1/9/24 Meanwhile, last year ended well with picks closed in December averaging a gain of 12.8%, with an average holding period of 23 calendar days. This was the best monthly performance since I started this exercise 3 years ago. The tweaks applied over that time have trended in the right direction but there have been less satisfactory months too. Non-subscribers click here for access.

So far in January, closed picks have had an average gain of 4.4% on an average holding period of 29 calendar days. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Over the past two trading sessions there were 46 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 161 with a second sell signal. That looks bearish on the surface, but when I reviewed those 161 charts, I did not see many that appeared to have near term downside potential. Instead, most looked like rangebound mush, or at a potential bounce point. Ultimately, I liked 2 charts on the buy side and 5 on the sell side, and added them to the list as shown on the table below. That will leave 17 open picks – 8 buys and 9 shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I will start tracking the new picks based on a price assuming a half position at the open and half at the close today, January 17, 2024. I have added or adjusted stops on most of the picks. See the current stop levels on the table. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Weekly Bank Data and Fed Balance Sheet Say the End is Nigh

Bank deposits, repo borrowing, and the Fed’s RRP facility have been the fuels for the rally. There are strong correlations between them and stock prices. In the past two weeks they’ve reached an inflection point. Depending on how they break, we should get a signal on the most likely intermediate term direction of stock prices. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

However, liquidity only establishes market context. Technical analysis of price trends shows action and timing. Context helps us to better understand the timing indicators when they are ambiguous. I cover that in the Technical Trader reports. Non-subscribers, click here for access.
