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.

Technical Analysis

We continue to see signs of improving risk appetites alongside healthy market dynamics. As a result, our outlook remains constructive. A breakout to new highs in the Russell 2000 (IWM) and Russell Micro-Caps (IWC), above $234.50 and $159, would likely cause us to shift to an outright bullish stance. In today’s report we highlight attractive Groups and stocks within Consumer Discretionary, Technology, and Health Care.

US Treasury (10 Yr Generic) / Technical Analysis

US 10yr yield bear call in March is nearing our key downside target that was at 1.35% and now raised to 1.37% given the time translation rise in trendline support. DXY has held lows and needs to push through 90.50/70 to challenge bigger resistance at 91.70/92.A break below 1.37% trendline support on a sustained basis would be a game changer for the yield trend (lower toward 1.20%) but more importantly would deflate USD support. We are betting trendline support initially holds and will help a tactical USD bounce cycle.Euro secondary failure at 1.22 is important.Risk red flags: AUD and NZD top caps and bear impulse raises risk red flags ahead of the late June risk turn cycle (weaker seasonality for US equities).
