Technical Analysis

SPX 3,270-80 hedge zone being met with NDX as the core driver for a potential 11k triple top or breakout for that final push. DJI and Russell are both underperform pairs to be short.SPX intraday set up shows a rising wedge with top resistance and tight stop level.Risk pivots - AUD met 0.7200-50 resistance with a reversal. AUD/JPY dual top at 76.50 so far. Euro and DXY saw key reversals Friday (USD tactical bounce). T note yield is below 0.61% support and reaching for 0.42%. WTI finally saw a downside impulse to solidify the 42 top zone. Gold remains bullish on a dip and silver is due to breakout of a fresh bullish triangle (front running a risk off cycle). Volatility shows complacency as we move into a more volatile season cycle. Pivot points will give breakout signals in the SPX, NDX, RTY and DJI as breadth begins to wobble.

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.

We continue to have a bullish outlook and we believe the path of least resistance remains higher. Perhaps the most important thing which supports our bullish outlook is the continued lack of breakdowns on all S&amp;P 500 Sectors and all the major averages. In today’s report we highlight attractive Groups and stocks within Materials: Copper, Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Uranium Mining.
