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

<p>The abrupt correction has led the DJIA and S&amp;P 500 to return to levels that are still well above their respective 200-day moving averages. In the case of the S&amp;P 500, Monday’s low is approaching its trendline which began with the lows of early 2016, also touching support the day before the presidential election of November 2016, and again in August 2017. A move below this area of support and the 200-day moving average could lead to further pressure and a potential return to the up-trend that began at the 2009 lows.  In this report we highlight key indicators to watch for signs of a near-term bottom, or for signs of further selling ahead.</p>
