Primary Dealers Are Maxed Out Again

The dealers have gone to an extreme of leverage against their bond positions for the second time since last July.  Back then, the extreme lasted for about a month, and it coincided with an intermediate top in stock prices and an accelerated decline in bond prices and the necessary inverse rise in yields.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Gold has broken trend support and is taking aim at the next support level around xxxx. This does not bode well for an upside breakout on the next rally. But if they hold above xxxx, the outlook would still be moderately bullish for the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx period. Non-subscribers click here for access.

The pick list is currently treading water, consistent with the market as a whole. It currently shows an average gain of 0.3% on an average holding period of 15 calendar days, including currently open picks and those that have hit stops over the past week. Yawn. Non-subscribers click here for access.

1/9/24 Meanwhile, last year ended well with picks closed in December averaging a gain of 12.8%, with an average holding period of 23 calendar days. This was the best monthly performance since I started this exercise 3 years ago. The tweaks applied over that time have trended in the right direction but there have been less satisfactory months too. Non-subscribers click here for access.

So far in January, closed picks have had an average gain of 4.4% on an average holding period of 29 calendar days. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Over the past two trading sessions there were 46 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 161 with a second sell signal. That looks bearish on the surface, but when I reviewed those 161 charts, I did not see many that appeared to have near term downside potential. Instead, most looked like rangebound mush, or at a potential bounce point. Ultimately, I liked 2 charts on the buy side and 5 on the sell side, and added them to the list as shown on the table below. That will leave 17 open picks – 8 buys and 9 shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I will start tracking the new picks based on a price assuming a half position at the open and half at the close today, January 17, 2024. I have added or adjusted stops on most of the picks. See the current stop levels on the table. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Weekly Bank Data and Fed Balance Sheet Say the End is Nigh

Bank deposits, repo borrowing, and the Fed’s RRP facility have been the fuels for the rally. There are strong correlations between them and stock prices. In the past two weeks they’ve reached an inflection point. Depending on how they break, we should get a signal on the most likely intermediate term direction of stock prices.

However, liquidity only establishes market context. Technical analysis of price trends shows action and timing. Context helps us to better understand the timing indicators when they are ambiguous. I cover that in the Technical Trader reports. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

The stock market has apparently reached a permanently high plateau over the past 3 weeks, and it looks like it could continue resting for months to come. But there’s an outside chance of a pop to a new high as soon as this week. This report tells what to look for, how high it should go, and when. Non subscribers click here to access.

Gold Outlook Increasingly Hopeless

Gold is in a delicate spot after pulling back to trend support around xxxx.  Breaking this area would put the latest 13-week cycle projection of 1xxxx in quick reach. That would also suggest that the high is in on the xxxxx xxxxx cycle. If the xxxx area holds, then one more rally would be in play before that cycle peaks.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Market Lacks Conviction, But 3 New Picks Have Potential

My picks are starting off the new year on the wrong foot, but I want to give them a bit more rope before concluding that all those sell signals at the end of December were wrong. Meanwhile, last year ended well with picks closed in December averaging a gain of 12.8%, with an average holding period of 23 calendar days. This was the best monthly performance since I started this exercise 3 years ago. The tweaks applied over that time have trended in the right direction but there have been less satisfactory months too. Non-subscribers click here for access.

For the first week of the new year, closed picks have had an average gain of 6.1% on an average holding period of 29 calendar days. Currently open picks and those that have hit stops over the past week have an average loss of 1.6% on an average holding period of 11 calendar days. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Over the past two trading sessions there were 41 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 49 with a second sell signal. Not a ringing endorsement for a directional market, but I reviewed the charts for promising patterns, nevertheless. I liked 3 charts on the buy side and added them to the list as shown on the table below. I did not like any of the sells. There are enough shorts on the list already, and we need a reset for those to avoid hitting the stops I set. Non-subscribers click here for access.
