Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

Bullish Outlook Warranted; Offensive Sector Shift

In our 5/18/20 ETF Pathfinder we saw the S&P 500 as consolidating and, until there was a resolution below support or above resistance, our outlook was neutral. By the end of that week, the S&P 500 had sustained a break above 2,935-2,955 resistance which set the stage for a new leg higher. Despite being short-term extended, the combination of rotations into cyclical Sectors, bottoming interest rates, narrowing high yield spreads, small- and mid-caps outperforming, commodities bottoming, and US dollar weakness leads us to believe a bullish outlook is warranted and that pullbacks should be bought.

· Nasdaq 100, Value vs. Growth, Commodities, US Dollar. The Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) is breaking out to new highs and as long as it is above the 20-day MA a bullish stance is appropriate. The value vs. growth ratio (IWD vs. IWF) shows a major reversal in favor of value. Broad commodities (DJP) are breaking out as the US dollar breaks down... see chart below and page 2.
