Our proprietary cycle screens returned 1031 charts that met ideal major trend buy setup criteria last week. That’s out of 1480 that met minimum price and volume criteria. It is an enormous number but it doesn’t necessarily imply that a big bull move is coming. It merely means that most stocks had fallen to test major support and rebounded to finish above those support levels. That’s typically a short term bullish setup. After a long bull run, the first pullback to support almost never results in a major reversal, but it could be the start of a topping process that could ultimately result in a subsequent breakdown.

Drilling down, there were only 108 stocks that met intermediate buy side criteria and just 70 hit short term buy triggers over the course of the week.

There were 108 that met ideal major sell criteria on the week. That means that they rose to long term resistance and were rebuffed. 165 had intermediate term sell setups, which is significantly more than intermediate buys. 131 hit short term sell triggers, nearly double the short term buy triggers.  

Looking at just Friday’s data, there were 30 short term buy signals and 52 on the sell side.  

Among the major and intermediate buy setups, 21 short term buys triggered versus 4 sells on Friday. So it is a mixed bag overall, not a picture that suggests easy pickings.

On visual review I liked just one of the buys and none of the shorts as shown on the table in the subscriber report.

Two existing picks hit stop prices during the week and one short had been noted to be covered as of the opening price last week. I have designated 1 sell and 1 short cover as of Monday’s opening prices. I am adding stops to the remaining picks. Last week the list showed an average gain of 7.9% on an average holding period of 13 calendar days versus 5.4% with an average holding period of 11 calendar days the previous week. This week the list starts with 18 open picks of which 6 are longs and 12 are shorts. Last week there were 17 open picks to start, of which 9 were longs and 8 were shorts.

Liquidity on the Edge: What You Need to Know About the Market’s Hidden Risks

Lee Adler

The stock market is at a crossroads, with liquidity trends signaling both opportunity and danger. Key risks include potential breakdowns in repo lending, foreign investor withdrawals, and the U.S. Treasury’s debt ceiling strategies. These factors could shape the market’s trajectory in the coming months.

What Are the Experts Watching?

  1. Stock Valuations vs. Liquidity
    Equity valuations have reached extreme levels. Could this be a prelude to a major correction?
  2. Debt Ceiling and Treasury Policy
    The Treasury’s high cash balance provides a temporary cushion, but looming tax refund outflows and policy decisions could change the game.
  3. Repo Market Trends
    DVP repo lending is a critical driver of speculative liquidity. A shift here could ripple through the markets.
  4. Fed’s Reverse Repo Facility
    With balances nearing depletion, the market’s reliance on this liquidity source is under threat.
  5. Foreign Central Bank Activity
    A sharp decline in foreign liquidity injections poses a potential headwind for U.S. markets.

Our proprietary cycle screens revealed 273 charts that met ideal major trend buy setup criteria last week. 111charts met ideal major sell criteria. This is from a universe of approximately 1500 listed stocks that met minimum price and volume criteria. This test has a two-week lookback period. Therefore, it has a built-in lag for identifying major and intermediate turning points.

287 charts met ideal intermediate term buy side criteria last week. 149 met intermediate term sell side criteria.  

Among the major and intermediate buy setups, 6 short term buys triggered versus 21 sells on Friday. On the week, a total of 69 short term buy signals triggered and 99 short term sell signals.

On visual review I liked none of the buys and 6 of the shorts as shown on the table below (Subscriber report).

Two picks hit stop prices during the week and one short will be closed as of the opening price on Monday. I have added stops to a couple of the remaining picks and am letting others ride for now.

Last week the list showed an average gain of 5.4% on an average holding period of 11 calendar days versus 4.1% with an average holding period of 11 calendar days the previous week. This week the list starts with 17 open picks of which 9 are longs and 8 are shorts. Last week there were 18 open picks to start, of which 10 were longs and 8 were shorts.

January performance was mixed. Including only trades closed out during the month there was an average loss of 2.4% and an average holding period of 14 calendar days. Including both closed picks and those picks still open as of January 31, there was an average gain of 3.7% and an average holding period of 10 calendar days.
