Mid-week market update: The S&P 500 has become an index of behemoth NVIDIA and everything else. The all-time high experienced by the S&P 500 in mid-June was largely attributable to the price action of NVIDIA. The rest of the market, as measured by the equal-weighted S&P 500, has been trading sideways for several months and...
Preface: Explaining our market timing models We maintain several market timing models, each with differing time horizons. The "Ultimate Market Timing Model" is a long-term market timing model based on the research outlined in our post, Building the ultimate market timing model. This model tends to generate only a handful of signals each decade. The Trend...
Mid-week market update: I am publishing this earlier than usual as the U.S. markets are closed for the Juneteenth holiday. The S&P 500 has gone on another upper Bollinger Band ride, accompanied by a severely overbought reading on the 5-day RSI, which is over 90%. Overbought conditions are often not bearish, but a manifestation...

Mid-week market update: I pointed out on the weekend that it's not unusual for the S&P 500 to consolidate sideways after reaching its upper Bollinger Band before the market makes its next major directional move. There have been five other similar instances in the last six months. What's a little unusual about the current episode...

Mid-week market update: Now that the Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ Composite have risen to an all-time high on the back of a slightly softer than expected CPI report, and Keith Gill, otherwise known as Roaring Kitty, and the meme stock brigade is back, how frothy is this stock market? Just look at the surge...

Mid-week market update: I wrote on the weekend that conditions were setting up for a panic bottom (see Here comes the sentiment flush), but one final flush may be necessary to spark a relief rally. The S&P 500 has now achieved the milestones for a panic bottom. The stochastic is sufficiently oversold. The index violated...

Mid-week market update: The S&P 500 hasn't seen a 2% pullback since the rally off the November bottom, but is a deeper pullback starting? Stephen Suttmeier at BoA wrote that the index is testing an initial objective in the 5200s, with further upside in the 5600s. This would be an ideal spot for the market...

Mid-week market update: Since January, I have been saying that the stock market is extended and could pull back at any time. The latest conditions shows that the S&P 500 is consolidating sideways after pulling back from above its upper Bollinger Band. The stochastic has recycled from overbought to neutral, which is a tactical sell...
Mid-week market update: Four weeks ago, I published NVIDIA at the bat, in which I discussed the market expectations for leading AI stock NVIDIA ahead of its earnings report. NVIDIA came out with a strong report that exceeded Street expectations, and the stock reacted with a price gap the following day. Fast forward...
Mid-week market update: Marketwatch recently highlighted analysis from NDR which concluded that sentiment was extended and while it may make sense to be cautious about adding risk, it's too early to turn tactically bearish until readings recycle from an overbought condition. I agree. I've been saying the same thing for several weeks. A...
During Fed Chair Powell’s testimony to the Financial Services Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, he said that it will likely be appropriate to begin cutting rates “at some point this year”. At the same time, he reiterated the message that other Fed officials sent to the markets that the Fed is not ready...
Mid-week market update: In the short run, how the market reacts after price gaps can be important clues to market psychology and direction. How quickly the market fills a gap is a measure of either strength or weakness. As accompanying hourly chart of the S&P 500 shows, we have price gaps everywhere (upside gaps...
