S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 Breaking Out We are seeing signs that this 2+ month consolidation in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) is ready to break out to the upside. Part of that is the obvious; both the SPX and QQQ are breaking out to marginal new highs. The other part that has kept us bullish this whole time is that market dynamics have remained risk-on, which we have discussed on a weekly basis. Bottom line: our outlook remains bullish as long as the S&P 500 remains above 5770-5850. Our recommen...

S&P 500 Holding Above Prior Breakout Level Yet Again As discussed throughout the first half of January, we continue to believe that tariffs will mostly be used as a negotiation tactic, and much like Trump's prior presidency, will be much less impactful than feared. We reiterated this in yesterday's pre-market ETF Pathfinder, also noting "we anticipate the Canada/Mexico tariffs to be resolved relatively quickly, and therefore we view the latest pullback as a buying opportunity." Sure enough, bot...

Local Tops for 10-Year Yield, DXY, and WTI Crude Oil Our outlook remains bullish, and since late-December we have been suggesting to use the pullback as a buying opportunity. Our most recent and highest conviction "buy the dip" call came last week (1/14/25 Compass) amid all the major indexes testing key supports (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, DJI, S&P Mid Caps, VXF, Russell 2000, ARKK, and SMH), bullish breadth divergences, and other ongoing risk-on signals. Those dip buys are finally paying off, with a...

Continue to Ride the Trend Higher Our outlook remains bullish and the significant end-of-year rally that we have been expecting since mid-October is in full swing; continue to ride the trend higher. Our election day Compass report (11/5/24) was titled "Buy the Pullback," and last week's Compass (11/19/24) was similarly titled "Buy the Pullback Again" considering our expectation for support at the 20-day MAs on the Russell 2000 (IWM), S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) with small- and mid-caps likely...

Upgrading Health Care to Market Weight Breadth continues to improve and Russell 2000 (IWM) small-caps and the Dow remain bullish, all while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) are going through a pullback/consolidation phase. Considering the Russell 2000 vs. S&P 500 ratio is reversing a 3.5-year downtrend, we expect this trend of small-cap outperformance to continue for months or longer. We will maintain our bullish view on small-caps (IWM) and the Dow as long as they remain above $210 and 39,800,...

Breakouts Proliferate; Bullish Outlook Intact The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and DJI are breaking out to new all-time highs following 3-week consolidations, while the small-cap Russell 2000 (IWM), mid-cap S&P 400 (IJH), Vanguard Extended Market ETF (VXF), and countless other Sectors/industries are breaking out from 3-week bullish falling wedge/flag patterns. This is classic bull market behavior. Considering market dynamics remain healthy, this is all evidence that supports our ongoing bullish outlook...

Year-End Rally to Continue? The broad equity market has been on an absolute tear since we discussed in our 10/31/23 Compass how risk/reward favored buyers as key supports were being tested, including 4165 on the S&P 500, $162-$163 on the Russell 2000 (IWM), and $350 on the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ). Furthermore, we discussed in our 11/7/23 Compass our belief that this was more than just another counter-trend rally, and that it is likely the start of a significant year-end rally. We also reiterated our b...
U.S. Dollar (DXY) and Treasury Yields Breaking Out Since early-July, and reiterated in last week's U.S. Macro Vision (9/19/23), we have expected to see 4300-4325 act as major support on the S&P 500, while also noting in our 8/29/23 Compass that we expected consolidation between 4300-4325 support and 4600 resistance until the end of September, and possibly longer. Though there is still hope that this 4300-4325 support zone holds, odds of a deeper pullback to SPX 4165-4200/the 200-day MA have inc...
