Waiting to Pull Out the Big Gun
Notable weakness in the biotechnology sector ETFs, IBB and XBI, is spreading to Cathie Wood's ARKK ETF and even the small caps in the IWM at-large, so far today. In addition, the regional banks in the KRE ETF are below the key $42 level as we speak. However, that weakness is being offset by persistent strength in the semiconductors, with...

The Lines, Chico...They Never Lie!
The S&P 500 is still negotiating the 4380 area, as seen below on the updated daily chart. This remains a level we have been observing with Members, even before the sharp rally over the last week and a half or so, with the light blue line, horizontally, remaining a constant on my chart. As they say, the lines, chico, they never lie . While...

Plant the Flag Here
We have a mixed bag in the markets today, another in a long line of those in 2023. Nasdaq names are doing the heavy lifting, with the likes of an earnings winner like DDOG way out in front. Meanwhile, small caps are red as I write this, with the regional banks (KRE ETF, daily chart, below) checking back to last week's breakout from prior...

All You Can Eat, Baby
It truly is astonishing just how quickly of a consensus was reached last week, spilling over into the weekend, amongst market players and pundits that a year-end holiday rally is a cinch. Mind you, as we speak it is only early-November. And, yet, the price action into year end has been declared a can't-miss rally both in stocks and bonds. On...

My Vision Differs From Yours
It has been an epic squeeze-fest this week, with the badly beaten-down small caps getting plenty of action to the upside. As unpopular as it may feel and be, part of my job description is often relaying objecting analysis in the face of overwhelming emotions of any given moment in the market. What that means is many folks will have a love/hate...

Plenty of Hot Tips Out There
Whether it concerns seasonality, the Treasury's recent refunding announcement, The Fed being done hiking, Israeli/Hamas, or anything for that matter we have plenty of hot tips circulating as to why it will all be bullish for markets. And with equities rallying every single day this week bulls are back to feeling their oats. All of this is...

A Dreary Landing, One Way or the Other
On this post-FOMC/Powell presser squeeze, it appears as though the S&P 500 Index, below on the updated daily chart, has a rendezvous with its 200-day simple moving average (yellow line, arrow), testing it from the underside. The Nasdaq is the leader of today's move, while small caps lag behind. While the market cheers Powell playing both sides...

They Did it All for the Glory of Love
While equities here stateside are mostly ignoring the Dollar/Yen surging past 151 today, we still have a busy week ahead of us with the FOMC tomorrow, AAPL earnings Thursday evening, followed by the jobs report on Friday. On that note, did the Bank of Japan really tweak their infamous Yield Curve Control policy out of love? I see yet another...

Well, I Got Some Moves I Can Make Here
Bollinger Bands, the eponymous technical indicator named after its creator, John Bollinger, are "pinching" on the monthly chart for Cathie Wood's ARKK ETF, seen below. For most of this year, I have held SARK, a bear ETF for ARKK, with Members in the service. It is now one of my best performing positions in a year with tons of outliers for me. ...
