Premium Members can access all of June’s Monthly Candles in our Chartbook, but in this post, we want to outline a few of the ones that stood out to us across the Equity, Currency, and Commodities space.
Under The Hood (07-02-2020)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza.
This is the third edition of our new “Under The Hood” column. Read more about it here.
We are already getting positive feedback on this new strategy from “Mr. Market” as both of our trade ideas from last week’s post are now in the top 5 of this week’s most popular stocks (measured by the net increase in ownership, week-over-week).
In other words, Robinhood investors have been buying these names hand-over-fist since we wrote about them last week. They’ve been rewarded for it too as they’ve both performed very well.
[Premium] Monthly Charts Strategy Session July 2020
This is the video recording of our July 1, 2020 Monthly Charts Live Strategy Session
Media Appearance: Just Buy Them Baby!
The stocks that worked well in the second quarter should continue to lead the market higher. We still want to be buyers.
On Tuesday afternoon I had a chat with Catherine Murray over at BNN Bloomberg about which stocks we’re most focused on. As it turns out, the same stocks and sectors showing up on our buy scans in early to mid-March are the same ones showing the most positive momentum and relative strength now.
It’s working. We’re sticking with it. Here’s the interview in full: [Read more…]
What Weak Breadth?
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza.
What’s with all this talk about weak breadth lately?
A lot of market participants have been pointing out the divergences or lower highs in popular breadth indicators such as the percent of S&P 500 stocks at new 52-week highs or the percent above their 200-day moving average.
In many cases, these actually aren’t divergences at all as the S&P is yet to make a new year-to-date high itself.
Just like we look at different breadth indicators to identify market tops than the ones we look at to signal bottoms, we should use different items in our breadth toolkit depending on the market environment we’re in.
Using the current rally as an example, it makes little sense to give weight to the percent of stocks making new 52-week highs considering most indexes and sectors haven’t been able to achieve the same.
Although, there are other metrics like the percent of stocks making new short-term highs and the percent hitting overbought momentum readings that can give us a lot of information about market internals right now. In this post, we’ll dive into these charts to see what they’re currently telling us.
The Nasdaq Is Not In A Downtrend
What do we know about all-time highs? We know we don’t usually see them happen in downtrends. As obvious as this might seem to some, you’d be surprised how many people don’t realize that new all-time highs are a classic characteristic of uptrends.
I encourage you to go back and study the greatest uptrends of all-time. Along the way, do you see new lows being made? Or do you see a lot of new highs in those uptrends?
Well, here is the Nasdaq Composite closing at new all-time highs for the second consecutive month. I’ve done the work, these are things we usually find in uptrends: [Read more…]
[Premium] Monthly Candle Strategy Session
It’s my favorite time of the month! We have a fresh batch of Monthly Candles to analyze, help us identify trends and find profitable ideas. It takes me no more than 30-60 minutes and I only have to do this exercise once each month. That’s just 12 times a year and BY FAR the most valuable 6-12 hours of work I put in each year, and it’s not even close!
I’d like to invite you to join be this evening for a live Strategy Session. We’ll be going through all the most important Monthly Charts and talk about what we want to do as we enter the 3rd quarter!
I will be hosting this Live Call tonight, Wednesday July 1 @ 7PM ET. As always, if you cannot make the call live, the video and slides will be archived and published here along with all the other live calls since 2015.
Here are the details for tonight: [Read more…]
Why We’re Watching TCS And Infosys Ltd.
Yesterday we discussed our thesis for the Nifty FMCG Index to move higher on a relative basis.
Another sector we’ve been keeping an eye on is Technology, which has been unable to break out to new relative highs.
