One Word Best Describes This Market
Quite a few folks, even long-time bears, seem hell-bent on declaring that a sustained relief rally is imminent after the FOMC tomorrow. While there are some rumblings that The Fed may actually tighten more than the fifty basis points the market expects tomorrow, that is all conjecture at this point (at least for someone like me with no insider...

Feel Like a Curmudgeon
One area over the years I have learned where it is crucial to distinguish what sort of overall market regime you are in is when it comes to oversold potential rallies. In bull markets, especially those where The Fed is launching bazookas full of QE and other assorted monetary goodies for markets, aggressively calling bottoms to oversold...

Here's the Punch Line
Stocks are slipping a bit further down this afternoon after a session full of whacky swings up until this point, as we await the FOMC later this week. Despite the giveback in equities, however, and in support of my morning blog post where I argued The Fed is likely continue down its fast-hike cycle in a hawkish manner, here's the punch line:...

Bull Markets Climb a Wall of Worry; Bear Markets Slide Down a Slope of Hope
To quickly recap the action among Dow Jones Industrial Average components this week, MSFT and V both rallied after earnings. CAT is in an uptrend and bouncing off its 200-day moving average, green here. And AAPL is holding above $160 as we speak despite multiple bear raids to break it. Despite all of that, the Dow itself, below on the DIA ETF...

Wowee! Zuck is the Best!
You will pardon my sarcasm as I am wholly unimpressed with "Meta" (rebranded from Facebook, which historically is a classic sign of a mature brand and usually near major cycle peaks for former market leaders) rallying off earnings last evening. We are talking about a stock which has been more than cut in half since last September. And now we...

Stiff Resistance Requires a Stiff Drink
Despite some positive earnings reactions from CMG MSFT V, the market has struggled to build on opening gains. In fact, we flipped red earlier, although look to be back in the green on the indices as I write this. Still, the QQQ ETF for the Nasdaq's top 100 stocks, below on the updated daily chart, shows the $322 actually acting as stiff...

Testing the New World
While Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) are, easily, the largest and most visible firms reporting earnings tonight after the bell, I would argue that Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., (CMG) and Visa (V), respectively on their weekly charts, below, may very well offer better insight into the current debate playing out between bulls and bears as...
