End Stage Hysteria Breaks

Last week we saw that the price to liquidity ratio measures suggested that the rally was in its end stage. The most recent data gives additional support to that idea, with those indicators touching upper trend limits in the week ended July 17. Under the circumstances, market action this week looks like not just a pullback, but more likely, xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

As a result, my focus would be on xxxxxxxxxxxx   xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

The bond market has rallied in July, contrary to my thinking that massive supply would hurt the bond market. The source of the money to support this isn’t clear, but deduction would say that it’s leverage, particularly repo. But repo outstanding has been rangebound. If it subsequently breaks down, that should be a sign xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx again. Short-term bills continue to look like xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Short-term Cancer Culture

On Friday, 154 short term buy signals and 743 short-term sell signals triggered, out of the 1484 stocks that met minimum price and volume criteria. However, after applying long term structure filters there were 34 buys and just 13 sells. The selloff so far looks to have only short-term implications. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Politics and Markets Make Strange Bedfellows

Joe will go, but the market won’t go with him. Political events, no matter how much of a watershed they represent, do to cause trend change. Reactions to those events are very short-term, and the market usually returns to the cyclical patterns that were developing before the event, within a few days. That will happen here.  Non subscribers click here to access.

Meanwhile, cycle indicators say that the market won’t go much lower here and that a higher high is still in the offing down the road. Maybe not as high as before, but higher. Here’s when and where to expect both the next top, and a longer term top. Non subscribers click here to access.

The Sky’s the Limit

The only thing keeping the market afloat is the willingness of big market participants to take on leverage to continue buying stocks and bonds. Increasingly prodigious amounts of T-bill supply are not pressuring prices as I had forecast back in ancient times, maybe 3 months ago, that they would and should have. Instead, they have become the basis for taking on more debt via repo and margin, and using it to buy other assets such as Treasuries and stocks. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

As a result, I have been suggesting to hold on to longs for the time being, and hold off on shorting. However, the market’s pricing is now so extended versus base liquidity, aka money, that we have to wonder where the limit is? Is it here, or is it the sky? Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

The trend is still in place and there’s no indication yet that it is beginning to turn. On the other hand, there are indications that price to liquidity ratios are at or near extreme trend limits. They’ve been at other apparent limits before and gone through them, as the movement increasingly moves toward the vertical. They’re so vertical now that it looks “end-stagey” to me, but that’s just a gut reaction born of 56 years of observing markets, not an empirical judgment. We need more. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

It will come down when the weight of higher prices becomes too much to absorb. All we can do is closely watch the price measures via technical analysis, and apply basic TA to price/liquidity sentiment measures, looking for the first signs of a change of direction. Given the fragility of the current structure, I suspect that the turn could be faster than usual. I would want to react quickly at the first sign of a turn. In other words, sell first and ask questions later. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Gold Takes the High Road

Gold chose the high base option. With the breakout, the initial target is xxxx. The cycle chart indicates potential resistance at xxxx with room to run to xxxx over the next month, if the first line is cleared. The 9-12 month cycle projection has risen to xxxx, with no projected top date due to that cycle being in trending mode. Shorter term projections point to xxxx-xxxx. I have added another pick to the mining stocks swing trade pick list. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Holding the Averages Versus Picking Swing Trades

Last week 404 short term buy signals and 204 sell signals triggered, out of the 1454 stocks that met minimum price and volume criteria. This was an increase on the buy side over the previous two weeks where the signals were roughly evenly divided. The rally finally appears to be broadening. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

After applying long term structure filters there were 44 buys and 9 sells. However, 21 of the buys were ETFs and almost all of those were fixed income related. So while there’s evidence of broadening, much of it is a mirage related to the bond market as opposed to stocks. Therefore, I don’t expect this to be easy pickins on the way up. Non-subscribers click here for access.

After reviewing the screen output, I added 6 buys to the list because they appeared ready to emerge or extend emergent moves. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I added no shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

As usual I’m adding new picks without protective stops. I’m closing out the last short as of Monday’s opening price. I am allowing most previous picks to ride without stops. I assume risk management through small position sizes and diversification. Your approach may differ. Non-subscribers click here for access.

List performance was lackluster again last week, mostly because I threw one bad apple into the barrel. The end result was an average gain of 0.2% on an average holding period of 8 calendar days. The week before that, the list had an average gain of 0.8% with an average holding period of 9 calendar days. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I have been searching for a big mover in vain in recent weeks. Since April, buy and hold the averages has been a better strategy than attempting to pick the best swing trades. The bullish action has been concentrated in a handful of huge capitalization stocks. I can’t predict when that will change. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Picking Up Nickels in Front of a Steamroller

The combination of market sentiment that has gone insane and the coming deluge of Treasury supply have rendered the financial markets increasingly fragile. At the same time, that does not rule out continuation of the rally. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

Survival of the bullish trend in stocks will depend on the willingness of dealers, hedge funds, and institutions to continue to increase leverage in order to support rising prices. They could use the coming crush of T-bill supply as collateral for new borrowing to buy stocks and bonds.

Or they may decide not to.

I know of no way to forecast when the willingness to constantly increase leverage to support the bull market will end. Nor do I think it necessary to do so. Normally we can see the signs of reversal via technical analysis applied not just to stock prices, but also to the liquidity measures that we track here. When the tide begins to go out, we should see the signs of it in both, in time to take the appropriate actions. As of now, we see xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx.

In the meantime, we must keep our radar up and running.

Here are the charts and analysis that show you how to view this and when to be ready to move. Non-subscribers, click here for access.
