Market Thinker

Mark Tinker has over 35 years experience as an investor, market strategist and economist. Having spent more than 20 years as a sell side strategist and being top rated on numerous occasions and surveys he moved to investment management in 2006 to run global equity portfolios in London and subsequently moved to Hong Kong in 2013 to help establish an Investment Management business for a top 20 international asset manager. He first started writing investment weeklies for his employers in 1989, developing a style characterised under the title Market Thinking and has been a regular commentator and presenter on CNBC, Bloomberg and other business channels, where his approach of rationalising market behaviour rather than making short term predictions on high frequency market data provides a welcome balance to his client audience.

<li>Brent Crude is approaching important levels at $124 and may be about to breakout</li>
<li>The overall picture on the chart indicates a move to $150. If seen with rising yields again, it would yet again provide a negative backdrop for equities.</li>
<li>While the S&amp;P 500 may stretch up to 4,300 in the short term, that would be a sell zone as the medium term picture points to further downside.</li>

The overall picture on the chart indicates a move to $150. If seen with rising yields again, it would yet again provide a negative backdrop for equities.
While the S&amp;P 500 may stretch up to 4,300 in the short term, that would be a sell zone as the medium term picture points to further downside.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Following panic selling that we have outlined over the past month, we finally saw panic buying last Friday in the form of 92% upside volume on the NYSE.
There is hope that this panic buying could signal a major bottom, but we still need to see more confirmation before declaring that the low is in.
We are watching the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and the steep RS uptrends on Utilities (XLU) and Staples (XLP) for more confirmation that a major low is in place. Details below.


Panic Buying Achieved, Waiting for More Confirmation of a Bottom;Buying Staples & Auto Dealers/Parts

<ul>
<li>The US equity decline still lacks real capitulation/outflows/redemptions for a major low but the next leg down does offer a better tactical long entry point.</li>
<li>RSI near 25 is the ideal buy zone for the SPX (this week or into late May). The weekly cycle has yet to show a convincing bottom.</li>
<li>NDX 12,700 is rejection resistance to induce a slide closer to 11,000 higher degree support for a better tradable rally sequence. RTY bull near 1,650.</li>
