PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST JANUARY ‘SKY IS THE LIMIT’ STOCK MARKET MANIA $DIA $DJIA $SPY $QQQ $AMZN $AAPL $FB $GOOG $MSFT $MU $INTC $NVDA $AMD

History does not always repeat itself in the stock market, but it is always instructive.

Overbought markets tend to be vulnerable. Sometimes it is an exogenous event that topples stocks. What could be happening currently? Could it be that the deadly virus spreading across China stops the buying frenzy in stocks?

There is a mania going on in the stock market, but not in the terms you would think. Before you send me hate mail for raining on the parade, remember that The Arora Report gave a signal to buy stocks on Donald Trump’s election when many analysts were saying sell. Shortly thereafter, The Arora Report made a case for Dow 30,000 in Trump’s first term. Please see “Here’s the case for Dow 30,000 in Trump’s first term.”

Let’s explore the stock market mania that is going on this month with the help of an annotated chart.

Chart

Please click here for an annotated chart of ETF DIA,  which represents the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA.

Note the following:

• The mania is not in terms of stock market gains. The mania is in stock market gurus almost unanimously saying that all is clear. Trump will get re-elected, Democrats will be decimated for impeaching Trump, another new leg of the bull market has just started and the Fed will print more money — so goes the story that is propelling the bullishness.

Does anyone see any holes in this story?

• The chart shows that the last time a similar mania occurred was in January 2018.

• The chart shows that the relative strength index (RSI) is overbought, similar to the way it was during the January 2018 mania.

• Purists will say that this time RSI is slightly lower and has not been overbought for as long as the last time. Those purists ought to look at RSI on weekly charts of S&P 500 ETF SPY, which represents the popular benchmark S&P 500 SPX and Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ. When looking at all three, the only unmistakable conclusion is that the stock market is technically overbought and vulnerable to a pullback.

• Based on proprietary indicators at The Arora Report, the sentiment in the stock market is not as manic as it was last time. In a perverse way, this is slightly positive in relative terms. Please see “Extreme greed in the stock market is producing a bad setup as earnings season starts.”

• The chart shows that a 14% correction occurred after the last stock market mania.

• The momo (momentum) crowd is aggressively buying stocks, but the smart money is lightly and selectively selling stocks into the strength. However, the smart money is buying technology stocks. Please see “Something rare is happening among popular technology stocks.”

‘This time is different’

Gurus would say that this time is different. During the last mania, the bond market became a problem, causing the correction; this time there is no apparent bond market problem. Actually, gurus could not see the bond market problem. They can talk about it now only with the benefit of hindsight. Certainly this time is different in many ways. However, the basics of greed and fear in the stock market and gurus coming out of the woodwork with bullish statements during a mania have not changed. (Where were these gurus when Trump was first elected?)..Read more at MarketWatch.
