Now This is a Battle
Early on we have some of the strongest parts of the market of late, like materials and shippers, looking at a shakeout while the beaten-down growth names, using ARKK as a reference point, leading the action higher. Overall, the Dow is soundly red and lagging while many individual growth names are fighting to stage relief rallies higher. With...

Just Thinking Out Loud Here...
Should Treasuries not only fail to follow-through lower off Monday's weakness, but actually continue on higher after today's bounce (which means rates go lower), it would give bulls in both bonds and (growth) stocks the fodder they need to declare a bottom. On the TLT daily chart, updated below, we can see that possible scenario as...

Energy Bull Market Dynamics
It occurred to me last evening, while out for a drive, that each time in recent memory I have been out driving around both on surface roads as well as on the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike I have seen reckless drivers drag racing each other, weaving in and out of traffic. Simply put, that is typically not the behavior you see...

Watch Your Back
Another $305 support test on the Nasdaq's QQQ ETF, below on the updated hourly timeframe, looks to have held as bulls kick off the first full week post-Memorial Day with a move higher. With the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not coming out until Friday morning, followed by the FOMC next week, bulls may very well benefit from a bit of a (relative)...

Last Stand Hill
More weakness than I had anticipated after the jobs report this morning is seeing the Nasdaq lead a dive lower in markets. Negative comments from Elon Musk are not helping the cause either, as TSLA swoons and its heavy weight surely is a drag on the S&P and Nasdaq, too. In fact, the TSLA weakness is likely overshadowing some intriguing strength...

Fighting Amidst the Chaos
The chaotic nature of bear markets means, at times, that bears themselves need to make sure they are not trapping themselves. Currently, we have more evidence from today's price action that the bottom from late-May is proving to be a near-term good low. To be clear, I do not expect those lows to hold into the back half of 2022. However, you...

This is for Fighting, This is for Fun
The main point we have been stressing to Members of late has been that one must put into proper context and perspective all of the herky-jerky price swings the market has been sporting. In fact, one would almost think with the precision and the manner in which the buy and sell programs have been alternating that this were some kind of basic...

On the QT and Very Hush-Hush
A fade off the opening pop in equities coincides with the official start of "QT," or The Fed's quantitative tightening process whereby they begin to slowly shrink their enormous balance sheet with a likely load of toxic debt. June can often be a tough month for stocks, but it does raise a few spidey senses that so many are eager to look for an...
