Where There's Smoke, There's...Divergences
Another day, another session of glaring divergences which bulls are clearly mocking due to shares of NVDA launching a rocket to the moon and trading about 25% higher as I write this. Still, small caps in the IWM ETF are down by nearly 1% right now after shedding 1% yesterday, and rates and the Dollar continue to push higher yet. High yield and...

It's a Free Country, Brother
Last year I penned a blog post where I wrote that Starbucks had substantial downside. Clearly, that was wrong as the rally in 2023 as SBUX opened the year at $100.56 and went as high as $115.48 on May 1st. However, viewing the updated quarterly chart, below, as the great liquidity drain from markets has seen various long-term charts extend up...

Just When No One Believes in Them Anymore...
Just when no one believes in reversal candlesticks anymore, to the point of not only failing to care enough to mock them (and bears) but outright display apathy to them, we have big, bad, Alphabet with its AI kick sporting a glaring bearish reversal candle today after a steep rally poking above its upper daily chart Bollinger Band (below). All...

There's Something About AI
More divergences piling up outside of the AI craze in NVDA GOOGL, etc.. Besides glaring weakness in China plays, we have the REITs, below on the IYR ETF daily chart, soft and threatening to continue lower as rates move higher. DRV is a more liquid bear ETF than SRS worth watching for the group. I understand it seems like "nothing matters" for...

Triple Play Divergence
"But the Nasdaq doesn't care," is a popular--and true--refrain from bulls right now, when hearing of various headwinds and negative divergence equities are facing. Indeed, seeing NVDA pop above $300 this week is truly something to behold. That said, one of our two main scenarios with Members was that we would see a final pop higher in markets...

It was Japan All Along
We have discussed the bearish action in China names quite a bit lately, be it the FXI country ETF or the KWEB ETF for high beta China internet names. Indeed, the weakness in China, including relative softness to the Nasdaq in this morning's tape, has taken quite a few bulls by surprise who had been adamant that a China re-opening would spark a...

These Stocks Are in the "Zone," Alright
I charted O'Reilly Automotive Inc. (ORLY) on the quarterly timeframe both with Members and the main feed earlier this morning. But even the daily chart for ORLY shows a parabolic move higher as it was one of the clear beneficiaries of the QE/ZIRP era and then the "stimmies" from the pandemic as Americans went bonkers throwing money into their...

Are We Sure the Dollar is Done?
The U.S. Dollar is rather quietly putting the finishing touches today on a strong week. Despite all of the talk of "De-Dollarization" and the like in recent weeks and months, you can see the weekly UUP ETF chart, below, show the big green weekly candle we are finishing today as well as the overall triangle consolidation/correction since last...

Battle on the Bridge
Imagine a market being fought in real-life on a bridge. On one side of the bridge we have the FANG mega cap monsters, and on the other we have the regional banks. In the middle of the bridge are many other sectors. Which side will wind up with the most manpower? Well, for starters, if the REITs (commercial real estate in the IYR ETF, first...

Little Homebuilders on the Prairie
The strength in homebuilders since last October 2022's lows has indeed been impressive, even though the sector is still well below its prior late-2021 all-time highs as you can see on the XHB ETF weekly chart, below. We can also see, however, prior support from earlier in 2021 now potentially converting into resistance. In fact, I am expecting...

Back in the Saddle
Seeing as the S&P 500 is trading pretty much exactly where it was one year ago at this time, it occurred to me that this period may very well be referred to as, "The Great Drain." So what is being drained? Brokerage accounts? Mental and emotional capital? Careers? Precious time on Earth? Perhaps all of those. However, I am specifically...

Enough Georgetown Cocktail Parties, Jerome
I know it is a tough world out there, Jay Powell. Everyone from Bill Ackman, hiding his ruthlessness behind a perfect facial exfoliation, to CEOs, long-only investors, economists, among others, are pressuring the esteemed Fed Chair to pause from hiking rates later today at the FOMC around 2pm EST. Beyond that, many are calling for Powell to...

Evidence of My Conviction
I continue to view the current overall market structure as being one of the rare moments to have deeply held conviction that equities will eventually resolve sharply lower this year. And although I have had my fair share of stop-outs and miscalculations earlier this year insofar as the endless bids underneath the indices, I still see the lack...

Pre-Fed Pause with a Splash of NVIDIA
NVDA strength is masking an awful lot of red in tech-land this morning, although that is nothing new with this narrow market. The larger issue is whether the market is waiting totally on the Fed, come Wednesday afternoon with the FOMC. We also have AAPL earnings Thursday before the jobs report Friday to kick off the new month with a bang,...

Facebook Face/Off
We have META (formerly Facebook) and other large cap techs leading the Nasdaq higher early on, while chips are soundly red and the likes of ARKK lag behind. Regarding META itself, I see $250 just above spot price to see if we have the makings of a new uptrend or, instead, the final pop before a new leg down commences. Overall, my sense is that...

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...
