Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

Defensive Sectors Improving; Small-Caps Weakening

We are beginning to get some signals which suggest the market is entering a more mixed environment. These signals include RS improvement for defensive Sectors, RS deterioration for small-caps, and the US dollar breaking above 92. Despite this mild deterioration in market dynamics, the weight of the evidence remains positive and our outlook remains constructive for the weeks and months ahead.

· S&P 500, Russell 2000. The S&P 500 remains constructive as it holds above support at the prior downtrend which is currently in the 3840-3853 range. If this level fails to hold, the next support comes in at the uptrend (3760-3770 range); as long as this support holds our outlook remains positive. Mild RS deterioration for small-caps (IWM) is a concern, however with recent substantial outperformance it can be viewed as a sign of a healthy rotation. $207-208 is key support to watch on the IWM.... see chart below and page 2.
