Warning Signs: Are Primary Dealers Indicating a Market Top?

Measures of Primary Dealer holdings, financing and hedging are flashing warnings of an approaching stock market top. After surging for a couple of years they’re diverging from supporting bullish stock and bond market price trends. The last time this happened was in 2021, in a process that lasted around 14 months before the market reversed. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

No two historical periods are identical. But the current divergences and signs of retrenchment have lasted almost as long as the prior instance. Once the mass psychology that fed the bullish trend begins to reverse, the deleveraging starts. That reversal then becomes self sustaining . First it happens slowly. Then it happens suddenly. We want to be on the alert to be out of long positions. We also want to position for shorts before that sudden phase hits.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Liquidity measures set the context. They’re warning that we’re in the late stage of this bull market. It’s time to be alert to any signs of reversal in the technical indicators. For the bond market, that could be something as simple as the 10 year yield xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. Once that happens, the potential for a hard selloff in the bond market increases. That could erupt into contagion to stocks. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

However, there’s a wild card. Come January 2, the Federal debt ceiling will be reimposed. The incoming administration will begin to deal with that on January 20. The new government has yet to tip its hand. Will it allow the clock to run until Treasury cash runs down to zero until it raises the debt limit? Non-subscribers, click here for access.

The Treasury’s practice in past episodes of debt ceiling roulette has been to use Treasury cash to pay down T-bills. Meanwhile it continues issuing coupon debt on the pre-ordained schedule. That has bullish effects for stocks, because T-bill paydown pump cash back into investor and dealer accounts. Some players then deploy that into the stock market. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

That effect would last until Treasury cash approaches zero. If that’s the policy choice, that process takes 5-6 months to reach a climax. At that point, they must raise the debt limit. Otherwise we leap into the unknown where the US government can’t pay its bills. I reveal what that would mean in this report. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Bulletin- Treasury Debt Insights: Heavy Supply and T-bills

The coupon offering for the end of the month has been posted. Net new supply $145 billion. My forecast estimate was $130 billion. The language used in the quarterly refunding announcement as to whether the Fed’s QT is included or not is inscrutable. I misinterpreted it, hence my miss of $15 billion. But, indeed, heavy supply is heavy supply.

Either way, this is bad news. It doesn’t even count the new T-bills. But that’s ok because, as we know, T-bills are insta-money. That is, if the players want to use it that way. T-bills also make nice places to sit out.

It’s mind blowing supply.  Ponzi Much? Understanding Treasury Debt and Market Fragility

Stock Market Outlook: Extreme Valuations, Liquidity Growth, and the Road to the Next Bear Market

Stock prices remain extended versus liquidity beyond any extreme seen since the 2000 internet/tech bubble peak. But that alone isn’t enough for a sell signal. Liquidity is still growing. There’s nothing to stop it from continuing to grow. And there is nothing to stop valuation, which is nothing more than a measure of long-term market sentiment, from getting even more extreme for the foreseeable future. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Indeed, when sentiment turns, this is unlikely to result in merely a garden variety correction. The greater likelihood is a great bear market, with a crash or two along the way.  But we aren’t there yet. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

In addition, the re-imposition of the debt limit on January 2 will likely result in the political Kabuki theater that typically accompanies these episodes. This report shows what that means for the timing of the next stock market top. And it explains what the likely result will be, and when to expect it.

As of November 7 the list was empty and I added nothing last week, so avoided the post election carnage. But we were empty-handed for yesterday’s rally. It triggered 41 short term buys.  After applying long term structural and intermediate trend filters, there were 4 that were still standing. I chose 3 from that list and a 4th that also looked promising, to add to the list for this week. They were xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, and xxxx. Charts in subscriber report.

Effective Trading Strategies: Buys and Sells This Week

There were 611 short-term sells and 222 short-term buys in the screens this week. After applying long term and intermediate term filters, there were 20 buys and 23 sells. The overwhelming number of short term sell signals were filtered out by the longer term cycle status and trend structures. In other words, to the screening algos, they looked too early to short. But we’ll be watching. We already have several on the list. No doubt there will be more in the weeks and months ahead. Non-subscribers click here for access.

On visual review I liked 3 of the buys and added them to the list. I chose none of the short sale candidates this week. To view the list and charts of open picks, non-subscribers click here for access.

On visual review there were 17 buys that I liked. That was too many to add to the list so I chose 6 that I liked best. I chose 4 to add as shorts.

Including open picks as of November 15, and those closed last week, the list had an average gain of 5.6% on average holding period of 15 calendar days. That was down slightly from 5.8% the previous week, but with a reduction of the average holding period from 21 calendar days to 15.
