NASDAQ BANK INDEX ready to reverse ? LONGBANK is tracking bank stocks within the NASDAQ. I cannot find if it is market cap weighted or instead an unweighted composite I wanted to check this out to see if the banking sector might reverse and perhaps have some trade candidates based on relative strength or even rising trading volumes. On the 15 chart, BANK's price is in a descending channel or wedge. It is too early to tell if it is breaking out although it is sandwiched between the SMA10 and SMA20 as so in limbo at least of this time frame. The MACD indicator shows downgoing lines that had crossed one another above the histogram. This appears to be a bearish divergence. The mass index shows no signs of a rise into the threshold and trigger zone as it did on January 31st. Overall, I conclude that the price is still in the channel and not yet an early breakout. I will recheck this at intervals. Once a breakout is confirmed and even retested, I will find some relatively strong bank stocks from which to pick a long trade at a low pivot for a safe high return from the upside shown.

Silicon Valley Bank / SIVBSVB Financial Group stock tumbled more than 42% in premarket trades Friday on fears of a run on the bank, as analysts downgraded the company and reports surfaced of funds advising clients to pull their money from the parent company of Silicon Valley Bank. Founders Fund, the San Francisco-based venture-capital fund co-founded by Peter Thiel, has advised companies to pull their money, according to a Bloomberg News report citing people familiar with the matter.In a separate development, The Wall Street Journal reported that SVB Financial Group took out $15 billion of loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco at the end of 2022, compared to zero in the year-ago period, to assure liquidity. The bank pledged collateral of about three times what it borrowed to back the advances, the WSJ reported, around the same time it sustained a 13%, or $25 billion decline in deposits in the final three quarters of 2022, the WSJ reported. The steep losses Friday came after SVB Financial SIVB, ended down 60% in the regular trading day after it disclosed large losses from securities sales and announcing a dilutive stock offering along with a profit warning. The bank was unprepared for rising interest rates which have hit its net interest income and net interest margin the troubles at SVB seemed unlikely to spread widely throughout the banking system. Morgan Stanley said in a note to clients that SVB’s issues were “highly idiosyncratic.” Also on Wednesday, SVB announced it sold $21 billion worth of securities to raise cash and reposition its balance sheet toward assets with a shorter duration, which are less exposed to rising interest rates. SVB estimated that it took a $1.8 billion loss on that sale.
