Major Inflection Point

As Americans make the decision of what kind of government they want, the stock market also faces a major decision this week. Indications are mixed in all time frames. We await a clear signal. Here’s what we’re looking at as deciders.  Non subscribers click here to access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

Cycles – Short-term cycle lows are due xxxxxxx xxxxxxx and projections have xxxxxxxx xxxxxx. But the up phases in 6-month and 10-12 month cycles are in question. Any weakness this week would xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx . By extension, if those cycles xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx , that would suggest xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx  in longer cycles as well. An extension of the rally this week could xxxxxx xxxxx xxx.

Cycle Screening Measures – The aggregate indicator set up a potentially higher short-term low on Friday. If the market rallies Monday, then this would tend to support a xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. But the intermediate pattern has turned xxxxxxxxxx, with xxxxxxx  highs and xxxxxxx lows. Likewise, the 6-month cycle numbers are solidly on the xxxx side. Barring a xxxxxxxx xxxxx, these numbers suggest an xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. That, in turn, would suggest impending xxxxxx xxxxxxxx in longer cycles.

Third Rail – The market setup up a new short-term downtrend. A down day on Monday would confirm that trend. Conversely, a weekly close above xxxx would break it and keep the uptrend intact. That would keep the measured move target of xxxx still in view.

Long-Term Weekly Chart – A weekly close below xxxx would suggest a possible major top. Conversely, holding above that would allow for the likelihood of xxxx around year end or January.

Monthly Chart – 10/28/24 The market is approaching its upper channel bound at xxxx, now, rising to around xxxx in November and xxxx in December.

Primary Dealer Crisis Now, Crisis Later

Primary Dealers were wrong about the Treasury market in September, and it has cost them. They reached a small net long position in their hedged bond accounts just as the bond market was topping out in price terms. Since then, bonds have gotten crushed and yields have soared. The dealers aren’t net short enough to profit.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

We had recognized the potential for a turn in the last report on dealer positions. 9/11/24- Technically Treasuries are near an important inflection point on the charts. Repo shows extended leverage among dealers. They are slightly short overall, which isn’t bullish for the big picture. They are leveraged to the hilt and they’re taking hits.

There’s no information to suggest that the young downtrend in bond prices and uptrend in yields will reverse anytime soon. A bullish turn may need to await the reimposition of the debt ceiling in early January of next year. That’s because if the Treasury follows past practice, when the debt ceiling is imposed, the Treasury will pay down T-bills. That puts cash back into dealer and investor accounts, enabling them to absorb Treasury coupon supply, and to buy stocks at the margin.

But until then, there doesn’t appear to be a catalyst in this data to cause a reversal in the bearish environment for bonds. I had worried about that being a catalyst for contagion into stocks, and we may have gotten our first dose of that today (October 31) with the S&P 500 dropping 108 points.

It looks as though the period from now until the beginning of 2025 will be a time of xxxxxx xxxxxx. We had a xxx xxxxx xxxxxx today. This suggests that it’s time to xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. I will look for those setups and report on them as they arise in the swing trade stock screens.

Last week I wrote that, “I’m not interested in buys at this late stage of the cycle, especially in view of the warning signs in the liquidity measures.” So much for that. After reviewing the charts I decided to try and pick up a few nickels in front of the steamroller. I added 5 charts on the buy side. I liked one short. Non-subscribers click here for access.

9 picks were closed last week and I’ll remove 1 more as of Tuesday’s opening price. I am letting the rest of the existing picks ride, with added or adjusted stops in some cases.

Market Broke for Second Wind

Cycle screening data turned negative on the xxxxxxxx term. However, the sell indications look premature for the xxxxxxxx cycle. Broad market indicators are not yet at that level of negativity. Therefore, I’m on the alert for a second wind to the six-month cycle off the expected short-term low due xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

Cycles – Short-term cycle lows are due xxxx xxx xxx, and the timing looks premature for a xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. The 13-week cycle is a xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx however. Its xxxxxx phase could extend into xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

With the coming election, this will be less about cycles and more about the news cycle and unpredictable, random kneejerk reactions. If we do get a sharp drop in the short-term, I would expect a xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx in the 6-month cycle before xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxcomplete. This would be typically around xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

Cycle Screening Measures – These numbers turned deeply negative. The aggregate reached a level consistent with a xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx, but the pattern and other measures suggest intermediate term xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. The problem here is that the xxxx indications look premature for the 6-month cycle. Non subscribers click here to access.

Third Rail – xxxx and xxxxx are the support levels to watch this week. Breaking those could indicate short-term trend change. If neither is broken, then the uptrend remains intact. Resistance is at xxxx and xxxxx. If neither is cleared, a xxxxxx xxxxxxxx is likely to develop between xxxxx and xxxxx. The xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx would signal the next significant move. Non subscribers click here to access.

Long-Term Weekly Chart – A weekly close below xxxxxx would suggest a xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx. 18-26 month cycle indicators are in very interesting positions here. A xxxxxx xxxxxxx this level would suggest a xxxxxxx xxxxxx. Non subscribers click here to access.

Monthly Chart – The market is approaching its upper channel bound at xxxx, now, rising to around xxxx in November and xxxx in December. Non subscribers click here to access.

Gold Approaches Its Long Term Target

Gold’s run hit trend resistance last week. The longer cycles remain in trending mode. 9-12 month cycle channel resistance projects to xxxx over the next week. The only current projection points to xxxx, which is also the measured move target of the 9 year high base breakout in 2020. There’s a second target above that, but first we need to see how it acts at the first one.  The first sign of even a potential reversal would be a daily close below xxxx.   Non-subscribers click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Letting It Ride

Current screens yielded 119 short-term buys and 520 short-term sells. That’s flipped from the week before as rangebound whipsaws dominate the action. After applying long term trend structure and intermediate term filters, there were 16 buys and 69 sells. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I’m not interested in buys at this late stage of the cycle, especially in view of the warning signs in the liquidity measures. I reviewed the sell side charts. Some of the setups were interesting, but I prefer to wait for more signs of a market top being in place before adding more shorts. So with a big list already, I prefer to sit and wait for it to shrink via hitting stops. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Liquidity Measures Show Markets Stretched to the Limit

This week I looked at the issue of bank capital and its relation to bond prices. This is another fly in the ointment that is poised to blow up, especially after Monday’s rout in the bond market. Between this fragility, the extreme extension of stock prices versus bank deposits and money supply, and the possibility of disintermediation pulling deposits out of banks, there’s xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx.

One other issue is the potential for a sharp reduction in T-bill issuance in November and December. That would xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. Bond buyers, including dealers, would need to either repo their Treasury coupon purchases, liquidate other assets, or take on when-issued short positions against future issuance. Any of those actions could further destabilize the bond market, which xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

For More Upside

There’s no sign of a top yet in the technical or cyclical data. Cycle projections point to more upside this year. This report shows exactly how much more. Non subscribers click here to access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

Cycles – The 6-month cycle has a new projection of xxxx due in xxxxxxx. However, in the short run, the 13-week cycle should be xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Its high was ideally due xxxxxxx xx. The 13-week cycle projection still points to xxxxxxxxxx. 6-month and 10-12 month cycles should be xxxxx in up phases, which should xxxxx shorter term down phases xxxxx.

Cycle Screening Measures – These numbers remained positive, xxxxxx the uptrend, and xxxxxxxxx enough for the xxxxxxxxxxxx. There’s no sign of  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Third Rail – The market stayed within its uptrend channels last week. To create even the beginning of a short-term reversal would require a daily close below xxxxx. On the other hand, clearing xxxx this week would open the way for a quick move to xxxx.

Long-Term Weekly Chart – The market has room to run to xxxx now, and xxxxx at year end. The 3-4 year cycle indicator has edged to the xxxx side, which suggests that the beginning of xxxxxx is at hand. Typically, xx year cycle tops take xxx months to build and break down. That allows for xxxxxxxxx.

Monthly Chart – The market is approaching its upper channel bound at xxxx, now, rising to around xxxx in November and xxxx in December.
