Out with the Old

Despite an omnipresent group of stubborn shorts, or perhaps because of them in part, Tesla continues to notably outperform the "FANG" plus Apple (not to mention NVDA SQ) prior leadership names to little fanfare. Recently, TSLA bears had every chance to break the name back under its 200-day moving average and get the ball rolling downhill are...

A Pedestrian Roll Down the Valley

Bears were almost assuredly looking for a more violent pullback this morning, as the price action thus far smacks more of digestion after an epic feast in the form of a sharp relief rally since Christmas. At the moment, the major averages are still comfortably holding above their respective 20-day simple moving averages with little in the way...

A Bit Too Much Tap-Dancing for My Taste

(Gregory Hines in Tap [1989]) The market may very well continue to chug on higher, but the risk/reward proposition for longs is seemingly growing more unfavorable by the hour. Case in point: The rising channel on the SPY, ETF for the S&P 500 Index, which we observed earlier this week is growing more concerning today. Specifically, on the...

FOMO Fatigue for a Drowsy Market

Another early pop off the opening bell looks to be fading as I write this. And this time around I am less emboldened by the prospect of buyers immediately swooping back in. As a result, I lightened up on a few of my quick-hitting swings longs inside Market Chess Subscription Services, and am inclined to let any pauses or pullbacks play out a...

Retail Footwear: Three's Company?

Lost in the shuffle of the rally in software stocks seems to be the extreme strength in select retail plays, especially relating to footwear, like CROX and FL. We have been tracking both with Members and now are looking for more to join the party as there are quite a few names in the space which could play catch-up, but one in particular with a...

It's Not All About China

Perceived progress on the U.S./China Trade War talks is being attributed as a colorable reason for this morning's opening gap higher. As I write this, though, we are well off session highs and putting dip-buyers to the test in terms of whether they remain willing and able to step back in to keep supporting this relief rally. Inside Market Chess...

Ruthless and Conniving Intentions

What a difference a year makes. When it comes to Bitcoin and Bitcoin proxies, not to mention the many "alt coins," the crypto space had a rough 2018 by virtually any measure. Needless to say, the euphoria of December 2017 seems so distant in the past that it may as well have been from last century. Gone are the days of poker dealers bragging...
