Out of Gas – Swing Trade Picks For Week of May 3, 2021

Lee Adler

2/16/21 Every week I run technical stock screens covering all NYSE and NASD stocks trading above $6 and averaging more than 1 million shares a day. This typically results in between 15 and 50 charts to review visually. I’m looking for low risk, high reward price structures, which I’m not smart enough to program into the screening process. But it’s ok. I like to look at charts. 😊

List performance degraded last week, with the average gain dropping to +2.5% on an average holding period of 12 days. That includes open picks and those that triggered stops during the week. Remaining picks are shaky. I have tightened stops.

New for this week, I’ve added 5 shorts and no longs to the list.

This table summarizes recent list performance.

Markets Awash in Cash – Where, How, and How Long, Revealed

Lee Adler

The markets are awash in cash. It shows up on the Fed’s balance sheet. It shows up in the Treasury account, and in Primary Dealer Accounts. It shows up in Reverse Repos.

That cash is coming from the US Treasury’s campaign of paying down T-bills. Those paydowns have totaled $430 billion since February 23. It’s an abomination of market manipulation. But it has worked to stabilize the bond market, levitate stock prices some more, and some more, and some more, and to stave off yet another Primary Dealer collapse.

We can follow these flows via the Fed’s weekly balance sheet statements, and the charts and indicators we derive from it.

The Treasury still has $1 trillion in its account that it must spend down. Annual taxes are still coming in, replenishing that account. The Treasury will almost certainly continue to pay down T-bills until there’s no cash left. I will do a revised estimate of when that will be from the April end of month Daily Treasury Statement. Prior to that, I give my best current swag in this report.

Until then, the cash will continue to flow. This report shows you exactly how this impacts stocks and bonds, so that you know how to play it, and when to GTFO.

Stock Market Gets Knocked Down But Still Packs Punch

Lee Adler

Cycles are mixed, with all shorter cycles in down phases that are still flat, but could grow teeth. The longer term structures and outlook stay bullish.

Get ’em While They’re Hot – Swing Trade Picks For Week of April 26, 2021

Lee Adler

I took some time off from trading this week, which was probably a good thing, considering the whippiness and suddenness of the changes of direction. I ran screens during the week, but did not look at them. For the week there were 115 buy signals and 137 sell signals. The picks below are from the screen I ran from Friday’s data.

Every week I run technical stock screens covering all NYSE and NASD stocks trading above $6 and averaging more than 1 million shares a day. Then I apply technical filters looking for short term cycle buy and sell signals near key longer period cycle support ranges. This typically results in between 30 and 50 charts to review visually. I’m looking for low risk, high reward price structures, which I’m not smart enough to program into the screening process. But it’s ok. I like to look at charts. 😊

Last week was a rough ride with all the whipsaws. 5 stops got clipped. The chart pick list had an average gain of 3.5% with an average holding period of 13 calendar days.

Liquidity is Still Bullish, And Even More So in May

Lee Adler

The balance between QE and Treasury supply remains bullish. This should provide an underpinning preventing the stock market selloff from going too far. At the same time, Treasuries have apparently put in an intermediate term low.

May will be even more bullish, but there are trends in place that will end the party, and we have a pretty good idea of when.

Space Needle Construction Under Way

Lee Adler

Is the stock market constructing a space needle pattern on the charts? Cycles remain in gear to the upside for all time frames from 4 weeks to 10-12 months. We have updated price projections for the tops projected for early this summer. But in the short run, look for more foundation building. Don’t let that trick you into thinking that it’s something that it isn’t.

Swing Trade Picks For Week of April 19, 2021

Lee Adler

Every week I run technical stock screens covering all NYSE and NASD stocks trading above $6 and averaging more than 1 million shares a day. This typically results in between 15 and 50 charts to review visually. I’m looking for low risk, high reward price structures, which I’m not smart enough to program into the screening process. But it’s ok. I like to look at charts. 😊

The list had an average gain of 6.0% with an average holding period of 15 calendar days last week. It was well positioned to ride the rally as all of the picks were buys. There were no shorts.

This table below shows how that compares with the previous 6 weeks. It was the best performance over this period.

Bogus Bank Earnings Hide The Danger In Primary Dealer Inventory Losses

Lee Adler

Primary Dealer data is always among the most important types of data for us. I look at it in as many ways as possible with the data that’s available.

On rare occasions the data tells us that change is under way. Most of the time, it simply confirms what we already had concluded.

Today, the macro data on the Primary Dealers and the big banks does not support the strong bank earnings that the big boys reported this week. The data suggests that a supply tsunami will hit the market soon (at the time projected in one of our recent reports). The Primary Dealers’ difficulties will become paramount, and the Q1 bank profits will have proven illusory.

The markets will have foreshadowed the reporting of that before the news is out, as always. Technical Analysis should sound the clarions as the turn gets under way. In the meantime, this analysis tells us that the conditions for a turn are building toward a crescendo.
