Home building Will it continue or start decliningThis could be a leading indicator for what is to come. Let's keep an eye on it.
We do have a bearish divergence on the monthly RSI. It also is happening on the weekly as well.
It is to early to tell what direction it will go. We should expect a strong bounce from here and see where it goes.
Best regards.

RECESSION ALERT - Homebuilders WAY Overbought | SHORT $KBHLeverage. It's a beautiful thing.
There is not much to say about this one, the chart speaks for itself.
Brief Disclaimer: this chart has evaded me - I personally think it should have corrected awhile ago (see grey arrows). Nonetheless, I never bought it... WHY?:
The economy is now well into a recession (has been for at least a year). For whatever reason this thing was bought into the stratosphere.
Now comes profit-taking and the COLLAPSE! This baby is going DEEP!
Thank you for playing.

LL Flooring Revision: Back From The GraveBuilding your new home is exciting, especially when you understand how the process works. It’s understandable that buyers are excited to see their new home built from start to finish says Chip Perschino, senior vice president of construction at Edward Andrew Homes.
“Our homeowners enjoy watching the home come together, from pouring the foundation to framing and watching the home take shape,” he says. “Once the home has drywall, they start to visualize themselves living in the space and how they’ll use it — imagining what furniture goes where and how they’ll entertain friends and family there.
Macro Monday 3 - SPDR Homebuilders XHBMacro Monday
SPDR Home builders ETF (XHB)
This equal weighted index tracks 35 holdings of the homebuilders segment of the S&P Total Market Index (TMI) and is spread across large, mid and small cap stocks.
These comprise of the Homebuilding sub-industry, and may include exposure to the Building Products, Home Furnishings, Home Improvement Retail, Home furnishing Retail, and Household Appliances sub-industries.
The Chart - AMEX:XHB
The Chart can be used as a leading indicator for the US housing market as the stocks in the XHB comprise of companies that provide the materials and products to build new houses and renovate homes. These products are higher up the supply chain and sold before construction commences or during.
In the past the XHB chart provided a significant advance warning of the 2007 Great Financial Crisis which is illustrated in red on the chart. A similar negative divergence would be worth watching out for in the future.
At present the performance of XHB is ahead of the S&P500. XHB is 5% from ATH’s at $87.00. This is in keeping with how this chart leads the market as it includes products and materials required for new builds and renovations. I would expect some resistance at the ATH which could act as a decision point for price. A break above the ATH with support established on it would be positive for price. A rejection off the ATH or a false break out and we would need to monitor price closely to see can price find support on the 10 Month SMA. If a lower high occurs on XHB (like in 2007), this could be an early warning signal of downward price pressure to follow on the S&P500.
As noted on the chart the average performance post MACD cross is a price increase of 80%;
- We are currently at $83.50 which is a price increase
of 21% from the recent MACD cross.
- A revisit of the ATH at $87.00 would be a price
increase of 26% from the recent MACD cross.
- An 80% average increase would lead us to the top
of the parallel channel (see chart).
- None of the above percentages are guarantees, we
are just looking at probabilities.
Factoring in that we are above the 10 month moving average and that it is sloping upwards, I remain positive about the continued performance of XHB, although I would not be surprised to see resistance at the ATH of $87.00 and a pull back to the 10 month SMA would be standard. If a weekly candle closed below the 10 month SMA, this is where I would start to get concerned and would then start to lean bearish. If we got follow through lower after that point, this would be alarm bells for me.
We can draw a correlation here to the first Macro Monday chart I shared on July 3rd, the Dow Jones Transportation Average Index DJ:DJT which also established a lower high as the S&P500 CBOE:SPX continued its ascent. Both the XHB and the DJT demonstrated they can be leading economic indicators by establishing lower highs prior to the 2007 Great Financial Crisis.

Warren Buffet buying homebuilders after huge runsNot sure what NYSE:BRK.A NYSE:BRK.B is thinking, Warren Buffet.
Is he expecting a huge demand for NEW HOMES?
There was increase in demand after large drop.
Maybe thinking that the Fed reduces #interestrates after things begin to crack, more?
TVC:TNX has been pumping (10 Yr), no signs of weakness.
They've all had huge runs NYSE:DHI NYSE:NVR NYSE:LEN.B

where men and women will enjoy equal rights,
resulting from an upheaval in the means of production and in all social relations.
Thus, the status of women will improve only with the elimination of the system that exploits them.”
Lumber Liquidators looks good for a reversal.

NAIL- an ETF of Homebuilders 3X leveragedNAIL- is an ETF of Homebuilders; It is 3X leveraged. Price is up over 30% in the first two weeks \
of June. It is shown here on the 30-minute chart with the "Market Bias" indicator which shows
uptrends in green and pull-back zones in gray. Presently, price is pulling back - when the gray
colored trend indicator changes back to green, an optimal entry can be made.The ADX indicator
has topped out as part of the early pullback. When the ADX goes below 25 and then crosses 25
from below, an entry can be made. An ADX over 50 and rising suggests that it is too late for
an entry and not to chase but rather wait for a pullback.
Overall, NAIL's price is now in early pullback by the "Market Bias: trend indicator and the ADX
which shows now a decreasing trend directional strength. Price is more than one standard
deviation above the mean anchored VWAP which is an level that professional traders want
to sell from. Because of all of this I will wait for an entry on NAIL until a pullback is completed
and the uptrend bullish continuation is seen.

TPH lower Economic Data coming out next week for new home builds and sales. I believe these numbers will be very week which should push those housing sensitive names lower. I believe this stock is a prime candidate for a major drop as we are seeing the price come up to test that 50 day moving average.

NAIL potential retest of breakoutI bought NAIL in the pullback this morning as I believe this is a retest of the breakout in the downtrend. The daily indicators also look strong right now.
I'm keeping a stop just below the previous lows at 62.94 since if this is a bull trend now, it shouldn't break that support.
I believe around a 30% gain is possible in this breakout if you can be patient. Good luck!

$TPX: Sleep Tight BearsXHB broke through an important 77.5 low volume node today and TPX has just been on fire. You might be asking how a mattress company and homebuilders are correlated well I'm playing it as a proxy and potentially one that could outperform the homebuilder index in general. You gotta have mattress for those homes :)
KB Home forecast hike could lead to breakoutFundamentals
My trading algorithm doubled down on KB Home today due to a substantial increase in Wall Street consensus earnings forecasts. I estimate that forward P/E on the stock is about 5, and forward P/S is about 0.6. (But note that my forecasts are more optimistic than the Street consensus, which currently puts forward P/E at 6.7.) I estimate that KBH will yield about 2.3% in dividends over the next 12 months. Most impressive of all is KBH's 5-year growth rate. 8% earnings growth, 3% sales growth, and 12% dividend growth. KBH has about 21% upside to its median earnings-date multiple of the last 5 years, making it one of the most undervalued stocks I follow (second only to NRG). KBH has received large earnings upgrades even as the stock price fell. The earnings outlook gets a score of 6/6 from me. Recent movement in the bond market seems to favor lower future mortgage rates, which would be good for housing demand.
The main downside here from a fundamental point of view is that KBH has substantial debt and weak free cash flow, with P/FCF near 18. S&P Global gives KBH a 43.5/100 fundamentals score due to low margin and somewhat weak financial health.
Neutral sentiment
Homebuilder sentiment is somewhat weak because of data showing that a growing number of home buyers think it's a bad time to buy a home. That's a concern, but this data isn't a strong leading indicator of prices. Even when they think it's a bad time to buy, consumers seemingly buy anyway. Presently buyers also have some competition from hedge funds, who've been snapping up single-family houses as investment properties.
The analyst summary score for KBH stands at 4.4/10, unchanged over the last 30 days. The put/call ratio is 1.1, slightly bearish. However, KBH is currently trading 35% below the average analyst price target, making it the second most undervalued stock I follow by this measure (after fellow homebuilder MDC Holdings). I think sentiment will flip as soon as KBH gets some "constructive" movement in price. (See what I did there?)
Technicals
KBH is below its 200-day EMA, and the 20-day and 50-day EMAs are pointed downward. It's also got a down-trending resistance line. Overall, this would seem to favor a continued selloff.
However, KBH has some support in this area, and there was a big spike in volume a couple days ago when KBH reported earnings. (KBH beat analyst earnings estimates but missed on sales. Guidance was optimistic.) I find that volume tends to spike at inflection points, either a short-term top or a short-term bottom. So I'm thinking that KBH might bottom here short-term.
Strategy
I've gone ahead and bought a few shares in anticipation of a bullish breakout, and I've set an alert to pick up some more shares after the price moves up through the red resistance line.
If we do get a short-term bottom here, I'm looking for about $43.75 from the initial leg up. Whether we keep going up from there will depend on whether analysts upgrade the stock. I think it's pretty absurd for a company with strong growth to be trading at such low price multiple. So based on valuation alone, I'd expect analysts to get more bullish here. But any increase in home inventories and mortgage rates or decrease in median home selling price might weigh on sentiment, so be aware of that risk. KBH's fate will definitely be influenced by larger market conditions.
If sentiment stays strong, I'll diamond-hand my way up to a second price target at $47, and a third target at $49.50.
