Mixed Signals, Reasons for Caution The S&P 500 uptrend remains intact, and the same can be said for the QQQ's. Despite a positive view of these two metrics, the aspect of of failed U.S. dollar breakdown coupled with the reversal. of the 10-year yields higher does give us pause. The S&P 500 breadth is showing signs of breadth divergence. 1.) The U.S. dollar has staged a false breakdown and is now on the cusp of a reversal. A decisive close through last Friday's close of 104.89 could yet negate t...
New All-Time Highs Validates Our Bullish Outlook We continue to view the latest pullback to the 100-day MA on the S&P 500 as healthy and normal within the ongoing bull market, and our bullish outlook (since early-November 2023) remains intact. Throughout the last week of April, we discussed the possibility that further downside was limited (4/23/24 Compass) and the mounting evidence that led us to believe the lows were likely in for this pullback (4/30/24 Compass). Market dynamics remain health...
Major Risk-On Developments; Bullish Outlook Intact Over the past two weeks we have discussed the possibility that further downside was limited (4/23/24 Compass) and the mounting evidence that suggests the lows may be in for this pullback (4/30/24 Compass). Major risk-on developments for the broad equity market have continued to roll in over the past week, which we discuss below. As a result, we continue to believe the lows are in for this pullback, and we see the pullback to the 100-day MA on t...
Are the Lows "In" for this Pullback? While we are not yet out of the woods, we continue to see evidence that suggests the lows may be "in" for this pullback. Last week (4/23/24 Compass) we discussed the possibility that further downside was limited on the S&P 500 due to a multitude of reasons (SPX had simply filled 2/22/24 gap support that we had been discussing since late-February, Russell 2000 and Equal-Weighted S&P 500 were holding above key supports, short-term oversold conditions, subdued ...

S&P 500 Near Support; Watching Energy For Strength The market environment remains very mixed, with constant Sector rotations resulting in very few Sectors out- or under-performing for sustained periods. At the same time, market dynamics give us little-to-no reason to be bearish (aside from the simple fact that the S&P 500 has not pulled back even 5% for over 6 months). Growth Sectors (Communications, Technology) and large-caps (S&P 500) have been the primary winners and we recommend sticking wi...

Upgrading Transports & Manufacturing To Overweight The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and Russell 2000 (IWM) all managed to break above their respective resistance levels which we highlighted in last week's Compass, and both the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 closed yesterday at all-time highs. Considering these new price highs, and ongoing market dynamics which remain largely positive, we expect higher prices ahead and recommend adding exposure on pullbacks. · S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 2000....
Bulls Back In Control In last week's Compass we highlighted our belief that the lows of this recent correction were likely in place -- something we continue to believe. This was due in large part to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 breaking out from their respective bullish falling wedge patterns as they gapped-up last Monday. Despite a bumpy week that included the first presidential debate and President Trump testing positive for COVID-19, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 held above their respective ...

Semiconductors, Transportation improving The S&P 500 continues to move higher on narrow leadership, which is not inspiring a bullish outlook. Currently leading the S&P 500 higher in terms of RS are Technology, Services, Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), and Procter & Gamble (PG). If this were a bull market, (1) PG would likely NOT be listed here as leadership, and (2) we would expect to see participation broaden out to Discretionary (RCD), Transportation (IYT), banks (KBE), Industrials (XLI), and s...
