This Will Be the Week That Was

A potentially historic week is on tap. One of the key measures of animal spirits versus liquidity has reached an historic level of insanity that could mark the end of this move. Or it could signal the beginning of even more craziness.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Adding 3 Shorts for Each Long

Over the past two trading sessions there were 37 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 174 with a second sell signal. That suggests that suddenly all isn’t well beneath the surface of the market averages that are scraping new highs. However, a high percentage of the sells were fixed income funds and interest sensitive stocks like utilities and REITs. That’s not necessarily bearish for the rest of the market.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

On the other hand, when I visually reviewed the charts of the screen output, I added 7 shorts and only 2 longs this week. The result is that the list is now evenly balanced between buys and shorts.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Clearing Out the Shorts

OK, not all but most. Two hit their stops over the past couple of days and 5 more will be closed out from the list based on this morning’s opening price in New York trading. That will still leave 5 shorts from our last review last week. There are also 5 longs remaining open. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

The pick list gained a tad in the past week. It currently shows an average gain of 1.8% on an average holding period of 20 calendar days. That’s up from an average gain of 1.6% on an average holding period of 18 calendar days last week. This includes currently open picks, those that will be closed out today, and those that have hit stops over the past week. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Over the past two trading sessions there were 27 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 22 with a second sell signal. That’s both a small total and a small buy side margin. It suggests that this rally is very narrow and in its late stages.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

I visually reviewed all of the charts. I wasn’t enthused about the sells. I’m not a fan of exercises in top picking when we’re only looking at the charts once a week. Even if they break, the bounces come quickly. I chose 5 buys to add to the list, as shown, with charts below.  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 30, 2024. I have added or adjusted stops on a few of the picks. The rest I’m giving room to breathe for this week. The table also shows picks to be closed out as of today’s open.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

The Danger Is that the Rally is Narrowly Based

The rally lives on and cycle projections point higher still, but there are danger signs everywhere.

Does that mean we should put on our crash helmets? Here’s your answer.  Non subscribers click here to access.

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.
