On the other hand if the market xxxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxx this week, that would keep the 6 month cycle projection of xxxx in play. Non subscribers click here to access.

Third Rail Channels – The SPX is centered in the lower half of its short term uptrend channel. The bottom of the channel rises from xxxx to xxxx this week. There are multiple crisscrossing resistance lines in the xxxx-xx area this week. A daily close above 3950 would result in a conventional measured move target of around xxxx. So I would not want to be short on a move above xxxx, or maybe xxxx at the outside. I might nibble on the short side on a rollover that ends the week below that green trend channel.

Long Term Weekly Chart –Long term downside cycle projections have already been reached but it’s too early to conclude that these downside projections are final. I will give more weight to classical technical indicator positions and trends such as a conventional measured move target of xxxx-xxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

Meanwhile, the market is in a counter trend rally. If it clears xxxx this week, it’s likely to head for major resistance around xxxx in July. Conversely, if it doesn’t clear the top of the trend channel near xxxx, the downtrend would remain intact. That would lead to a test of the low, with a good chance of a breakdown that would target xxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

Monthly Chart – Breaking xxxx in July could send the SPX hurtling toward the next major support line at xxxx. Conversely, if they stay above xxxx, there’s room to run to around xxxx in July. Non subscribers click here to access.

Long term momentum remains on a sell signal and is now sitting just above the bottom of a 3 year uptrend channel. Closing any month below that line would be another long term bearish signal.

Cycle Screening Measures – The cycle screening aggregate was stable in a firmly positive range. The short term and intermediate patterns are xxxxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

6 month cycle measures are now both on the buy side which is a sign that xxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx. The current status measure is only modestly positive, so a down week this week would send it back to the sell side. But if the market moves higher that would make this indicator more xxxx xxx xxxxxx.

Gold’s Worst Projections Are Happening

Last week’s warning signs came to fruition. Here’s how much worse it’s likely to get. Once that happens, it should be a good buying opportunity.

For the past week, there were 8 charts with multiple buy signals. There are 22 with multiple sell signals. The 8 buy signals were mostly on Friday, and they got soundly reversed on Tuesday, when there were just 3 buys and 22 sells.

The patterns look desperate. Is it a capitulation? Too soon to say, but I’m staying away, for now.

Recession? What Recession?

Lee Adler 1 - Liquidity Trader- Money Trends July 5, 2022

Federal tax collections rebounded sharply in June, including the all-important withholding taxes. I can’t explain why this happened, nor does it matter. My job is to report the data, and follow wherever it leads.

As Professor Lawrence Berra taught us, you can observe a lot by watching. And the observation that taxes rebounded in June tells us that we are not currently headed into recession.

But that’s beside the point.

The point, the only point, is that tax revenue rebounded sharply. We will therefore not see an immediate increase in Treasury supply beyond the TBAC’s optimistic forecast. However, that still leaves plenty of coupon supply on the way in the third quarter. The recent rally notwithstanding, the market will have trouble absorbing any net supply at all without the Fed taking its share. And the Fed is not only not taking any, it’s forcing the Treasury to add supply that the public must pay for to repay the Fed for its holdings that it is redeeming.

Then there’s also the fact of the increasing interest expense of the Federal government. That too will add to the deficit, and add to Treasury supply. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Tax collections are reality — actual hard data, in real time, and not statistically massaged. The economic data will follow with a varying lags. Just like the past month when econ data weakened after I tabulated and reported the collapse in May tax data. I reported that on June 2. Now “everybody” agrees that we’re on the verge of recession. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Except, oops, we’re not. Tax collections are soaring. We will now see the opposite to the process we witnessed last month. The seers and soothsayers are now all looking for signs of recession. They will be gobsmacked when the lagging econ data starts going the other way again. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

And so will the bond market. The xxxxxxxxx in bond prices, and xxxxxxxx in yields, will xxxxxxxx. The recent rally will soon xxxxxxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxx. The market has given bond sellers and would be bond sellers xxxxxxxxxxxx. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

You have to wonder how the Fed and econ soothsayers will now react to a return to booming data AND booming inflation. I suspect xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. Some will conclude that inflation expectations are becoming embedded, and that consumers will increase spending now to beat inflation tomorrow. The data suggests that this is already happening. Businesses wouldn’t be increasing payrolls if they weren’t seeing higher sales. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

There are already reports that the Fed is worried about this and is resolved to prevent it. Now the revenue rebound in June suggests that, as usual, not only is the rent too damn high, but the Fed is too damn late. The other fact is that when things finally do slow down, the Fed will again be too late to respond. Instead of being too loose for too long, it will stay too tight too long. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Therefore, the strategic message of this data remains the same. If you xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. That applies to both bonds and stocks.

For Swing Trades this Week, It’s Politics As Unusual

The final list of double screened output for last week resulted in 58 charts with multiple buy signals, and 25 with more than one sell signal. These numbers reflect a rangebound but volatile two way market. Meanwhile, on Friday alone there were 16 buy signals and 11 sell signals.

Considering that there are over 10,000 stocks in the screened universe, these are small numbers. The tilt to the buy side is insignificant. I see no reason to get excited about the market’s direction, either way. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Regardless, my task is to unearth trading opportunities, regardless of the environment, so I undertook the usual visual review of the 58 multiple buys and 25 multiple sells. When I reviewed the 58 buys I was underwhelmed. Except for one chart, none appeared to have the potential for a sustained swing. I did pick the one chart to add to the list, XXXX. Non-subscribers click here for access.

That will leave us with XXXX and XXXX on the long side. Really, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Then I reviewed the 25 short sale candidates. What I found was ambiguity. Many of these stocks had already been pounded into the dust, and did not appear to have the potential for significant downside swings in the short run. Part of the problem is that stocks that have dropped from triple digits to mid to low double digits play tricks with your eyes on the scales. It’s difficult to conclude that they still have significant percentage downside. It would appear that they need to bounce first. In some cases, they’ll just slither lower, but I’m loathe to try to pick those because of the potential for vicious dead cat bounces. Non-subscribers click here for access.

That’s a long way of saying I added no shorts to the list this week. The time has come for summer fun, and patience, waiting for better looking setups. Non-subscribers click here for access.

The screen results come from a universe of approximately1200-1500 stocks daily that meet the criteria of trading above $6.00, and with average volume greater than a million shares per day. I start the weekly process by screening for daily buys and sells from the previous Friday through Thursday. I then rescreen that output, for additional signals in the progression on Thursday and Friday. Non-subscribers click here for access.

The percentage gain is based on 100% cash positions, with no margin and no use of leverage or options. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Last week I had said, “Nothing doing,” as I eyeballed the charts that the screens had spit out, and saw little opportunity either way, except for XXXX on the long side and PUMP on the short side. Well, PUMP got stopped up, and XXXX sprang xxxxxx, and it was all we were left with. Non-subscribers click here for access.

With PUMP stopped out early, and holding only xxxx until the end, last week, the list of two had an average gain of 6.8% with an average holding period of 8 calendar days. As always, that includes both picks closed during the week, and those still open on Friday, in this case, just the one. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Picks closed out in June averaged a gain of 10.1% on an average holding period of 17 calendar days. That works out to an average of 4.1% per week. There were 12 closed picks. The win rate was 75%. I would hope to continue that, but it is by no means a given. Non-subscribers click here for access.

June’s performance is not something we should expect to duplicate too often, if at all. The average weekly gain since I tweaked the methodology in mid January is just 1.29%, while trending upward lately. Non-subscribers click here for access.

6/6/22 Picks closed out in May averaged a gain of 3% on an average holding period of 2 weeks. That worked out to an average of 1.5% per week. There were 28 closed picks. 25 were shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

5/9/22 April was a challenging month. The final tally of closed picks in April had an average loss of 0.4% with an average holding period of 11 calendar days. My system does not do well when the average low to low cycle duration drops below 4 weeks. Non-subscribers click here for access.

March was better. Picks closed in March had an average gain of 4% with an average holding period of 23 calendar days. Non-subscribers click here for access.

This week we start with 1 open pick, a buy with the symbol XXXX. I’ve added a stop to it at a trigger level that would suggest that the stock will not head up after all. I added it without a stop in the first week, as usual, to give XXXX a little wiggle room to develop into something more tangible. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Gold Nears Triggers That Would Signal Brutal Outlook

This doesn’t look good.

Our entry into last week’s 3 mining picks did not go well. They’re all down a little and are threatening to break support. Consequently, I’ve added stops just below those support levels.

If they hold above that, there’s still a good chance of a rally, but if they break, we’ll take our lumps and come back to fight another day. Once or twice a year we see playable profitable rallies, but we never know where and when they’ll emerge. It requires dipping toes in the water whenever the potential appears. Sometimes it plays out and sometimes it doesn’t in this most frustrating of market sectors.

For the week, there were 22 charts with multiple buy signals. There are 13 with multiple sell signals. But, on Tuesday alone, there were just 2 buys, and 18 sells. It’s not a picture that xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

After reviewing the 22 charts with multiple buys, virtually all performed poorly on Tuesday, and none looked any more promising than the 3 picks already on the list. And like the 3 existing picks, all were in position for possible breakdowns. So there are no new picks this week. Wait till next week. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Stocks Are Even More “Oversold” Versus Liquidity

Lee Adler 1 - Liquidity Trader- Money Trends June 28, 2022

The thing is, there’s no such thing as “oversold” in a bear market. OK, maybe there is, but it’s at a much lower parameter than that which applied during the 13 year bubble.

Therefore we should not expect the market to turn up from extremes similar to those of the past 12 years. And we should not expect the rebounds to be sustained. They’ll correct the extreme, and then the downtrend to new lows will resume. So, what I wrote previously, recapped below, still applies. Stock prices still look oversold, even more so than in late May when I last updated the CLI.

But the bottom line remains the same. Here’s what it is. Here’s why. And here’s what you might consider doing about it if you want to profit from what lies ahead.

Bulls Have Hope This Week, Bears Wary of Pump

If you believe in signs, miracles, portents, and quantum mechanics, then stock charts and trading screens are for you! Allow me to explain.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

In our search for stocks to add to our swing trade chart picks list, the final list of double screened output for last week resulted in 92 charts with multiple buy signals, and only 5 with more than one sell signal. 3 of the 5 were gold ETFs. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Meanwhile, on Friday alone there were 81 buy signals and 0 sell signals. That’s right. Zero sells. So from a bearish perspective there’s nothing to hang our hats on. After last week’s pump, there’s no hope for dump. Non-subscribers click here for access.

As I prepared to eyeball the charts on the final lists of buys and sells, I was thinking that it’s too late to buy, but I tried to keep an open mind. As I went through the charts, I kept seeing the same thing. They all looked as though they had maybe another day or two of upside before hitting a wall of resistance. So I said, “No thanks.”

But then I saw one that I thought, “Here’s one I can hold and hope.” The symbol was xxxx. It was a sign. I put it on the list. Scientific method, right? Non-subscribers click here for access.

The screen results come from a universe of approximately1200-1500 stocks daily that meet the criteria of trading above $6.00, and with average volume greater than a million shares per day.

6/20/22 Last week, the list had an average gain of 16.4% with an average holding period of 10 calendar days. That worked out to an average gain of 11.2% per week.

The record gain tells us to expect some giveback this week. I have adjusted trailing stops to protect profits. At the same time, I wanted to allow some wiggle room for dead cat bounces because these charts look destined for a lower low within a couple of weeks, if not immediately.

The percentage gain is based on 100% cash positions, with no margin and no use of leverage or options. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Last week, the list had an average gain of 14.9% with an average holding period of 12 calendar days. That worked out to an average gain of 8.6% per week. That includes picks closed during the week, and those still open on Friday. Non-subscribers click here for access.

There was the expected giveback from the week before, but in the end, still a near record performance. That was great, especially considering that everything was short. But because there were signs that the market was sold out the week before, I had tightened the trailing stops. As a result, all 5 of the older picks got stopped out with profits. Non-subscribers click here for access.

The one new pick, xxxx, was a short. Call it luck, or a good job by the screens and my eyes, but it bucked the rally and sold off hard, giving the list a nice boost. As usual, I put it on the list without a stop, but I’m adding one this week to protect the profit, but still allow room for additional price decline. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Picks closed out so far in June have averaged a gain of 10% on an average holding period of 22 calendar days. That works out to an average of 3.8% per week.

6/6/22 Picks closed out in May averaged a gain of 3% on an average holding period of 2 weeks. That worked out to an average of 1.5% per week. There were 28 closed picks. 25 were shorts.

March was better. Picks closed in March had an average gain of 4% with an average holding period of 23 calendar days.

This week we start with 1 open pick and one new pick. The open pick is a short with the symbol xxxx. The new pick is a buy with the symbol xxxx. Hey. I gotta do what I gotta do. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I’ve added a stop to xxxx, to protect the profit in case they do, but also allow room for more downside if they don’t. I have added xxxx without a stop in the first week, as usual, because you gotta hold on to xxxx, at least on the first week. Non-subscribers click here for access.

The Spike Is Here, So Here’s What to Expect

We got the V bottom and spike rally that I was worried about last week. This rally has started a lot like the last two spikes, gaining 275 points in 4 days. The March rally kept going another 150 points. The May rally was exhausted at that point. I’m leaning toward this one xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx x x x. I would not xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx clear signs that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

As far as whether it’s too late to scalp the upside, I’ll let you know when I run the screens and have looked at the individual charts. Might be a few laggards to ride.

Cycles- This does not look like a new 13 week cycle up phase. The cycle high is ideally due on xxxxxxxxxx. The upside projection of xxxxxxxx was xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. .Non subscribers click here to access.

There’s no sign that the 6 month cycle has turned up yet, and its cycle projection has dropped to xxxxxxxxx. Therefore we should still look for a xxxxxxxxxxxxx once this short term up phase xxxxxxxxxxxxx. I would not xxxxxx this rally, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx possible scalp on a stock by stock basis. That depends on the screens digging up any that still have the potential for a pop, or more pop. .Non subscribers click here to access.

Third Rail Channels – This is headed for the trendline convergence at xxxxxx, where it “should” pivot. If not, then xxxxxx. And if that didn’t hold, then the next target would be around xxxxxxxxxx.

The last spike was good for 348 points from low to exhaustion. The one before that, however, was good for 475 points, with a 1 day pullback about 2/3 of the way up.

This rally has traversed 276 points so far. Based on the last two rallies, and the similar speed of this one, it suggests that this one xxxxxxxxxxxxo, and maybe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. .Non subscribers click here to access.

Long Term Weekly Chart – It’s not yet clear whether longer cycles have turned. The market still needs to end a week above the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and above xxxxxxxxxxxxxx resistance. The latter is at xxxx. Clearing that would give the market a good chance of making it back to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. .Non subscribers click here to access.

Monthly Chart – The market is back above a long term support trend convergence at 3720. Breaking that at the end of June would suggest that the bear market is about to get much worse. Staying above it would mean that they’ll muddle along in a range for a while longer.

Cycle Screening Measures – The aggregate rebounded sharply from a deep extreme without the usual positive divergence that normally precedes an extended rally. It’s more supportive of the idea of a dead cat on a skewer.

Is There Life on Mars, or in the Precious Metals?

Gold remains in a state cycle juxtaposition. Cycles facing opposite directions with none having thrust result in trading ranges. We were expecting this, but it’s still surprising. While a breakdown below xxxx would imply a target in the mid xxxx range there’s no sign that that outcome is imminent. But there’s a xxxxx that the longer swing cycles could xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx in the July-August window. X xxxxx breakout xxxxx xxxx would be needed to xxxx the likelihood of that happening.

Last week’s performance among the mining stocks was again underwhelming but it did produce a couple of charts of interest that will be added to the chart pick list as of Wednesday’s opening price. They are xxx, xxx, and xxx. Charts below (in the report).

For the week, there were only 7 charts with multiple buy signals including one in the past 2 trading days. There are 15 with multiple sells including one in the past two trading days. So overall that doesn’t inspire confidence that the sector is ready to move. But, on Tuesday alone, as the whole market rallied, the precious metals sector saw 29 buy signals and only one sell signal. If there are more buy signals this week, the pick list should grow.
