A lot of people are thinking that this bear market is already in it's later innings. If anything, it's probably the opposite given that inflation has not yet broken, employment may only be starting to see it's cyclical decline, etc. Private equity has been heavily levered during this cycle, and in general has dumped gobs of $ into shit investments (see the...
See notes on BX short - using this chart as general support across sector.
VFC is a corp that not only is showing a wonderful long-term topping pattern. It's also positioned in a rather poor manner for the current macro environment. They are a cyclical company that sources the majority of their products from Asia, experiencing significant supply issues that are constricting margins significantly. Not sure if this breaks immediately,...
At the start of 2022, healthcare stocks have gotten killed, especially anything that was a winner in the past 1-2 years. A lot of people are getting rather bearish, but they shouldn't be.

I posted a few months ago Amazon was in a terminal formation. Like a lot of stuff, there was an upside overthrow to knock out any remaining bears, and now we are looking to test the long term support from the 2008 lows. Below that, there are a few other support lines, but the next MAJOR support is around 950-1000 depending on time frame of a drop. Amazon actually...
No clue what a fundamental shift would be that would cause a reversal here, but this has never been so extended. Ever. AAPL relative to SPX is trading above 3.5 standard deviations on a weekly timeframe. I looked back through the history and it has never been so extended relative to the rest of the market, even during the height of it's bull runs. To me, this...
Original Chart This is Based Off 2018 update Original Trade Strategy Around This Chart Everything should be self explanatory in the chart. Of course - this will work until it doesn't, but since the 1990, the HSI index hitting its upper resistance line has nailed every major global market top within a very short timeframe. You can see how perfect...
Interesting relationship here - JPYUSD has a 6 year bottom trendline of resistance it has been following. This line has been hit a few times over the last 6 years, and literally every time it hits this line, a correction of some variety occurs. It's almost like clockwork. Not sure if there is actually any mechanistic behavior going on, but it's worth noting...
Total collapse in downside hedging since April 2020. This is not put to call ratio, just SPX index puts, nothing more. Chart is 15 week exponential moving average to smooth data.
In short, Russel has more exposure to material prices, and this is reflected in the ratio of the russel to the S&P, which looks extremely similar to the combined price of oil, copper, and soybeans (just as an example of a simple commodity basket).

Simple view of this critical sector breaking through key technical trendlines. Our first bearish sign was the break earlier in August, which held, and rallied back above the original broken trendline.
