Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Yesterday's hotter-than-expected CPI report continues to suggest a more restrictive Fed policy than the market has been expecting. This raises the possibility of further consolidation for small- and mid-caps. Meanwhile, large-cap indexes (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100) remain bullish, finding support at their respective 20-day MAs since November 2023; the only question is whether that will continue to be the case, as our main concern remains rising Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar (DXY), which have bro...

Vital Signs: Actionable charts

In this product we rank the most positive and negative domestic stocks, filter the symbols by market-cap and trading volume, and then divide the companies into sectors and groups. We then manually look through charts leadership/changes, bottoms-up/top-down ideas, short-term patterns that may have long-term significance, etc. We believe you will find this product valuable as significant price and relative moves begin in the daily charts.

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Downgrading Manufacturing to Market Weight Near-term we continue to see the S&P 500 moving higher, likely heading toward 4600 resistance. We also still believe it is possible we have seen the lows for this pause/pullback on the S&P 500, and we see a low probability of a meaningful correction if the SPX is above 4300-4325 (1.5-year support). As initially discussed in our 8/29/23 Compass, we would not be surprised to see another month+ (i.e., through the end of September, and possibly longer) of ...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

ime For A Rest We believe a pause, or a pullback is increasingly likely when some areas of the market become extended. For instance, the QQQ's achieved the second highest extension above its 200-day moving average in the last 20-years. The previous period occurred in September of 2020 when the Fed was in the midst of a record amount of stimulus during the Covid Pandemic. We remain constructive on the S&P 500, and we expect to see support at its 50-day MA moving forward (currently 4443). Short t...

We remain bullish on the S&P 500, and we expect to see support at its 50-day MA moving forward (currently 4415). Short ...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Small-Caps Starting to Lead We continue to see the current environment as a bear market rally with the potential for it turn into something more following bullish breadth thrust signals. Large-cap US indexes (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100) have been treading water for a week (bull flags?), but many other indexes such as the Russell 2000 (IWM), DAX, Hang Seng, MSCI China (MCHI), and China Internet (KWEB) have continued to move higher following their bullish reversals from the prior two weeks. We are also ...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Bear Market Rally With Potential for More In last week's Compass (May 24) we noted the S&P 500 was testing support at 3800-3860 within its downtrend channel and that we were on watch for a potential bear market rally/oversold bounce. This has officially begun following the break above 4030 on the S&P 500, which was confirmed by bullish reversals on the Russell 2000 (IWM), Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), DAX, Hang Seng, MSCI China (MCHI), and China Internet (KWEB). For now, we are treating this as a bear mark...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

S&P 500 Downtrend Channel Intact & Testing Support We see the S&P 500 as trading within a downtrend channel; as long as it remains within this channel, our intermediate to long-term outlook is bearish at the index level. With that said, the S&P 500 is currently testing support within the downtrend channel, and we are on watch for a potential bear market rally. S&P 500. Last week, on May 18th, the NYSE had a 93% downside volume day, effectively negating the May 13th 92% upside day. Still, the 3...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Fed Set to Hike 50 bps As Indexes Test Support We have warned over the past month that a test of the lows, and possibly a break to new lows, is increasingly likely on the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and Russell 2000 (IWM). This has played-out as we recently made marginal new lows amid additional indiscriminate selling on Tuesday and Friday last week. There is potential for an oversold bounce, but we will need to see back-to-back 80%+ upside volume days or one 90%+ upside volume day on the NYSE i...
