This week I appeared with David Keller on Stockcharts Ultimate Bar. We mentioned how the market is at a precipice. And little doubt, the phrases I wrote on April twentieth Each day “Now That “Stagflation” Has Gone Mainstream” some 5 months later are buzzing in my head:
My prediction: SPY, QQQ, and DIA proceed to rally till IWM can not clear $200-then every part sells off once more.
That’s exactly what occurred.
Wanting on the Volatility chart and our plug-ins which embrace 6-month calendar ranges, momentum, and management indicators, we are able to now ask … Was that the sell-off this previous week, or are harder instances simply getting began?
I don’t use the “precipice” phrase flippantly.
Money VIX rallied proper to the horizontal inexperienced line or July 6-month calendar vary final Thursday, then backed off Friday however traded inside the vary of Thursday (inside day).
Observe that the identical sort of transfer occurred on August 17, 18, and 21.
In reality, VIX took out the calendar vary excessive and failed to carry above there as soon as it was apparent that the 200-daily shifting common above, one other inexperienced line, couldn’t clear.
Therefore, the sell-off and rally in equities till September fifteenth when VIX broke however then rapidly reversed above the July calendar vary low (purple line).
VIX is now outperforming the SPY.
And the momentum in our Actual Movement indicator reveals us a imply reversion promote sign in VIX ending this week.
Precipice?
Now we should ask ourselves as September ends, whether or not the market can bounce again leaving VIX within the mud.
“The final 9 instances the S&P was decrease in each August and September noticed This autumn shut increased (again to 1981). Increased 9 for 9 and up 9.1% on common.” Ryan Detrick.
Can we make it 10 for 10?
Let’s ask Granddad Russell 2000 and Granny Retail.
The Russell 2000 (IWM) trades under every part: the July calendar vary low, the shifting averages, the SPY, and sits on the Bollinger Band in actual movement momentum. IWM sits there as in imply reversion or extra weak spot coming?
One of the best we are able to say is that IWM is holding above Might and June lows. It additionally has not stuffed the hole it left when it gaped increased on June 2.
Nevertheless, be aware the January six-month calendar vary low held up in June. Not a lot proper now.
Then there’s Granny Retail (XRT).
We’ve got written loads about this sector’s underperformance.
Now, equally to IWM, XRT trades under every part: the July calendar vary low, the shifting averages, the SPY, and sits on the Bollinger Band in actual movement momentum. XRT sits there as in imply reversion or extra weak spot coming?
Nonetheless, Granny is weaker than Gramps. The hole that IWM is holding from its hole up June 2, has been stuffed this previous Thursday and Friday in XRT.
Backside Line
A transfer over 18.00 or the 200-DMA in VIX, coupled with extra draw back stress in IWM and XRT (watch momentum), might spell one other leg lower-perhaps to 170 in IWM and 57 in XRT.
Then, we have a look at the month-to-month charts and our 80-month shifting averages on each, which have held for the reason that coronary heart of COVID.
And, to Ryan Detricks’ level, ought to we see that imply reversion in XRT and IWM, plus watch VIX to fail 15.00-16.00, then we might get a bounce no less than, if no more.
Precipice: a really steepfacet of a cliff or a mountain. Parachute anybody?
