Bring it in for the Real Thing
To dovetail with the Microsoft earnings rally, shares of AMD MU and NVDA are leading a relief rally for the suddenly-lagging semis. I had scaled part of a SOXS bearish ETF trade with Members earlier this week but am now debating adding back to it given this bounce. On the updated SMH hourly chart, below, the semiconductor sector ETF is getting...

Out with the New; In with the Old
One of our Members noted, on the back of the UPS earnings wreck, the gnarly looking bearish rising wedge breakdown in the IYT, ETF for the transports at-large, seen below, should not be taken lightly. I realize we supposedly live in a new world where gunslinging speculators feel like all the old warning signs like Dow Theory (whereby...

Nothing Like a Speculative Lull to Test Your Resolve
The small caps churning below the 200-day moving average, seen on the IWM ETF daily chart, below, yet above $170 multi-year support, as price grinds seemingly to a sideways halt, perfectly illustrates the sort of near-term market environment we are dealing with. It is times like these that test your mental and emotional toughness as a...

This Market is Like the Weather in the Midwest
...if you don't like it, just wait five minutes and it'll change! That is what they saw about the weather in the midwest, and that is what you might say about this market. We can cherry-pick given strength or weakness in a given stock or sector on a daily basis. But odds are with the way things have gone of late that the very next day you...

Tesla--A Sneak Preview of What's to Come
After a rough earning report shares of momentum darling Tesla are down by 8.5% as I write this. The TSLA weakness is, in part, dragging ARKK down, too, although other issues with ARKK are hurting Cathie Wood's ETF. Still, to see TSLA, which more than doubled in price from January through February, slip back down here ought to be concerning for...

Let's Not Bring Back Old Stereotypes
Spending a substantial portion of my youth around blue-collar Bayonne, New Jersey, one would think it would be the epitome of the "Buy American" crowd in the 1980s. However, you would be shocked to know how many people told me, as a kid, to "buy Japanese, kid. The workers commit 'hara-kiri' if they make a bad car over there, while all the...

Back to the Scene
Here we are, again. 4170 up through 4200 was stiff resistance two month ago for the S&P 500 Index. And now bulls are betting on a big breakout with a slew of big tech earnings right ahead, namely NFLX tonight and TSLA tomorrow. You can see the potential overhead supply (resistance) yourself on the S&P daily chart, updated below. If this is...

Sorry I Ruined Your Death of the Dollar Party
Both the Euro and Yen (respectively, below, on daily chart ETFs) look particularly vulnerable to downside here just as the consensus calls for the Death of the Dollar and "de-Dollarization." By the end of this century? Sure. But not yet. Not now. I like the Dollar and rates to continue to rally, a call I made last week and stand by with...
