Technical Analysis

Nasdaq-100 Stock Index / Technical Analysis

Our bull view called to buy tactical weakness (SPX 3,850) for a push into ideal high targets centered around the top of the SPX rising wedge near 4,140/50. Mid April top near SPX 4,100 for a pullback and rally to this objective is our preferred sequence.Tech and growth sectors are favored at the expense of energy, banks, small caps and now the DJI as the underperform group.Bearish rising wedge patterns are due to mature into late April in the SPX, Japan, Taiwan, India, MIB and FTSE stand out as clear red flags going into late April.

US Growth to Perform and Short Pairs to Work Into

Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth / Technical Analysis

US rotation long bets focused in tech and growth to pick up some of the slack and find industrials beginning to underperform. A yield fade remains a key input to fuel further upside in a growth theme. Consumer discretionary (XLY) and Russell growth ETF's (IWP and IWY) are breaking to the upside out of bull wedge formations.Bull wedge breakouts are a high conviction set up.Risk lies with the rallies struggling under recent highs as weak breadth begins to eat away at the broader market. If a yield fade fails to gain traction this will also dilute the growth breakout with odds favor a C wave rise.

Cross Asset Strategy

We are now at a notable juncture from a relative perspective on the NDX vs SPX. Any further underperformance of the NDX would suggest a significant short to medium term change in trend. This seems to be the risk given US 10 year yields still look likely to make it to the 2% area.

STAR50 Index Rebalance June Preview: Selloff Presents Opportunity

As US 30 year yield has effectively met it’s 2.40% target area for this stage of the trend and bond markets have calmed down we are beginning to see bullish price action in equity markets. The Nasdaq 100 now shows a clear bullish setup for only the third time in a year that indicates a move back to the highs and maybe beyond.
