It's The 50 & 57 Market!
In late 2016, Regional Banks were able to break above the 2007 highs to complete a near decade-long base. That breakout was then retested successfully in the second half of 2017. Or was it?
As we see here, prices last month fell back below those 2007 highs. The question that is presented here is whether this is just a messy retest of the 2007 highs, or if that breakout last year was a massive failure? The implications of this being a failed breakout would likely be substantially lower prices, another 20% lower, at least.
$50 was the price of $KRE at the 2007 highs. We're at $50 now.
We're seeing literally the exact same thing happening in Broker Dealers & Exchanges. Look at the breakout in 2017 above the epic 2007 highs. $IAI is in a similar predicament as Regional Banks. Was that breakout a massive failure and now we drop another 20%+ in prices? Or is this just a messy retest?
$57 was the price of $IAI at the 2007 highs. We're at $57 now.
This is what I'm calling the 50 & 57 market. Stock market crashes aren't happening if these indexes are above their respective levels. The big problems will occur with these indexes below those levels. Look how important these sectors are to US Stocks:
