If you’ve been in our world long enough you’ve heard someone say, “Technical Analysis Is Voodoo”. As far as I’m concerned, the more people who think that the better it is for us! As Technicians we are analyzing the behavior of the market and its participants. Our human emotions are driven by fear and greed and therefore markets trend, by nature. This is why Technical Analysis works. Today I sit down with Sebastian, the wine maker at Rancho Maria Winery in Sonoma, CA, to discuss this very topic. [Read more…]
Video: Small-caps and Transports Hold Their Summer Lows
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk about how important it is for Transports, Small-caps and Micro-caps to hold above their August lows. This is a major risk barometer for sure. The Dow Jones Transportation Avg held its early June lows and so did the Russell2000 Small-caps. As long as that remains the case, we believe the path of least resistance is higher for US equities. As a confirmation, we’re looking for Micro-caps to get back above their early summer lows. This period reminds us a lot of what we saw in 2016 right before a historic rally in Stocks around the world!

Video: Stocks Near Former Lows Relative to Gold & Bonds
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk the relative performance of stocks. When assets are in strong uptrends, they not only perform on an absolute basis, but they tend to outperform their alternatives. With new highs in the S&P500 last month, we’ve seen nothing but lower highs relative to both Gold and US Treasury Bonds. In fact, on a relative basis, the S&P500 is actually down to its late December 2018 lows. Will they hold or confirm a massive distributive top? I think the resolution will tell us a lot about the strength of the current stock market.

Video: When Will Small-caps Start To Outperform?
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk about US Small-caps and the underperformance we’ve seen out of anything non-large-cap since 2018. We are now down to levels not seen since early 2016 when Small-caps started their outperformance vs Large-caps, which is where stocks bottomed after the 2015 cyclical bear market. Is this where the turn begins? Let’s walk through it together and see if we can figure it out!

BNN Bloomberg Interview: The Cyclical Bear Market in Stocks
Here is the video from my BNN Bloomberg interview this week. They asked me if I thought the media was making too big of a deal out of an inversion of the yield curve and I agreed that of course they did. That’s what the media does, irresponsibly exaggerate things that don’t need to be exaggerated at the expense of their audience. I’m happy to come on TV to bring some sense of reality to the conversation. Someone has to. In this video we discuss the ongoing Cyclical Bear Market in stocks and what we’re waiting for to confirm that a new Cyclical Bull is getting started. [Read more…]
Video: Financials Dragging Down European Stocks
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk about the underperformance of European Stocks and the fact that it’s their weighting in Financials that is, in part, dragging them lower. This has really become an interest rate story as Financials around the world are keeping other countries’ markets from breaking out. The overwhelming exposure to Technology continues to keep the US winning relative to everyone else. [Read more…]
Video: Gold Higher and Dollars Lower
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk about the recent strength in Gold, even in the face of a Dollar that has yet to start falling. After Thursday and Friday’s turn around, I think it’s finally time for the Dollar to weaken. The way I see it, the relative strength we’ve seen in Gold was a heads up that the Dollar is set to fall. The correlation between Japanese Yen and Gold Miners on a relative basis is the intermarket relationship that stands out the most. [Read more…]
