Defining US Risk Inflection

By Thomas Schroeder

  • NDX 13k and RTY 1,930 are key inflection levels that will drive the global risk cycle ahead of a more turbulent late August to October period.

Longfor, AAC Technology, Ping An

By Untying The Gordian Knot

  • Markets are treacherous, but none more than Hong Kong listed stocks.
  • The vicious short-covering rallies and an impulse selloff have become a hallmark of the last few weeks.
  • First, it was technology on news of ease in regulations, agreements with the US on accounting on a tiered classification of companies by Beijing or in case of Alibaba announcing making Hong Kong it’s primary listing to make stock eligible for South Bound inflows.

  • Downgrading Utilities & Staples to Market Weight; Buy Ideas in Health Care & Trucking

Downgrading Utilities & Staples to Market Weight; Buy Ideas in Health Care & Trucking

By Joe Jasper

  • We are starting to see some positive signals that suggest the lows for this bear market may have already been established, or that additional downside is limited from here.
  • We need to see downtrend reversals (get above 4030-4040 on SPX, $189 on IWM, and $115 on IWC) and for the NDX(QQQ) to break above $315, to get more constructive.
  • Positive signals include, among other things: the Financial Sector (XLF) and Broker-Dealers/Exchanges ETF (IAI) are reversing topside their 4-5-month downtrends.

Daily Brief Technical Analysis: THE SPX Summer Top/Short Sequence and more

By | Daily Briefs, Technical Analysis

In today’s briefing:

  • THE SPX Summer Top/Short Sequence
  • BYD 300-10 Short Zone to Press on 240 Support

THE SPX Summer Top/Short Sequence

By Thomas Schroeder

  • SPX met the 4,000/20 summer rally target (long from 3,700) with a dip/rally sequence into early August to complete the topping process.
  • Transitioning from risk on to risk off while finessing the SPX 3,900 pivot support that will define market energy in early August and the macro risk tone.
  • NDX remains our favored short (aligned with SPX 4,000) and in early August. RTY long from 1,650 met our rally objective at 1,820+.

BYD 300-10 Short Zone to Press on 240 Support

By Thomas Schroeder

  • BYD (1211 HK) is a short on upticks near the gap and physical resistance for a decline to pressure intermediate support at 240 (break expected).
  • Sell volumes spiked on the jolt down with sellers waiting overhead on a secondary bounce attempt.
  • RSI shows a compelling bearish set up after topping at the 70+ sell zone with bear divergence that supports a downside surprise.

Positive Signals; Growth Sectors Gaining Momentum; Buy Ideas Within Global Growth Sectors

By Joe Jasper

  • We are seeing some positive signals that suggest the lows for this bear market may have already been established, or at the very least, that downside is limited from here.
  • Still, YTD downtrends remain intact on the global MSCI equity indexes, and we need to see reversals of their downtrends in order to get more constructive at the index level.
  • Cyclical Growth Sectors continue to gain momentum and we are upgrading the MSCI ACWI Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services Sectors from underweight to market weight. Add exposure.

HSBC, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and CK Hutchison Holdings

By Untying The Gordian Knot

  • This week some of the strongest names in HSI are covered.
  • In real estate, banking, and global infrastructure sectors. They have been consolidating for months and should resolve soon to establish new trends or act as a continuation pattens.
  • These are likely to prove crucial to Hong Kong and Greater China.

WTI 105 Rejection Sets up a Key Low at 89/85

By Thomas Schroeder

  • WTI 105 short zone working again for a low near the 89/85 zone to set up a better buy level. Oil still struggling with supply/demand constraints.
  • 105 has been our firm sell zone. Gap lower will cut the legs out from under the XLE bounce.
  • We expect USD strength to resume and will put additional pressure on oil. Choppy overlapping decline warns of an upcoming WTI low as the descending pattern matures.

XME, XLE Oversold Trade

By Thomas Schroeder

  • XME (metals/mining) and XLE are oversold rotation long plays for a rally off noteworthy support.
  • SPX rally stall near 3,900 near term resistance (dip/rally) must be factored into commodity price action.
  • USD is due for a marginal pullback that will provide fuel for oversold commodities. We like the AUD for a rally to 0.70.

In today’s briefing:

  • SPX Push into THE Summer Short Ahead of Q3 Pain

SPX Push into THE Summer Short Ahead of Q3 Pain

By Thomas Schroeder

  • SPX risk on July rise (early July buy call) is still missing the final piece of the puzzle – the C wave push to 4,000 for THE short.
  • Top building process near July 21 and again after a Fed hike knee jerk rise. Aligning risk points in Bitcoin, USD dip and sell levels in Europe and Asia (synergy).
  • THE short set up before next pain trade lower into September for an SPX decline of 18% with parts of EM and Asia taking it on the chin.

Daily Brief Technical Analysis: Bitcoin Bear Wedge Targets 15k and Will Lead Global Risk and more

By | Daily Briefs, Technical Analysis

In today’s briefing:

  • Bitcoin Bear Wedge Targets 15k and Will Lead Global Risk

Bitcoin Bear Wedge Targets 15k and Will Lead Global Risk

By Thomas Schroeder

  • Bitcoin displays a high conviction bear wedge that will break lower with momentum, and bleed into the global risk cycle given the recent tight correlation.
  • Previous bear wedge breakdowns have been reliable and resulted in high momentum drops. Platform illiquidity/closures a system risk. 
  • MACD set for a bear turn from resistance that concurs with a decline toward the 15,600 target.

  • FANG and HK Tech Bear Patterns

FANG and HK Tech Bear Patterns

By Thomas Schroeder

  • US tech remains a top short theme as we near the mid April cycle peak point (another cycle peak due post Fed hike). Tech remains the key bear driver.
  • FANG bear triangulation, NDX timid bounce, wedge counter trend count in KWEB appears complete (bear wedge) with some color on Tencent’s compelling bearish triangle setup for new lows.
  • Use July rally attempts to add to shorts for new chart lows in August/September. CPI print today a key input.
