REVERSAL IN TECH, G7 MEETING

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

Reversal In Tech

Yesterday morning was a perfect example of paying attention to money flows and interpreting them correctly. At the time the Morning Capsule was written, almost all credible bundits on Wall Street were calling for tech stocks to move strongly higher.  The Arora Report was the only one with a  contrary opinion for the day.  We wrote:

Money Flows At A Contrary Signal Level

Positive money flows are good for stocks until they reach very high levels.  Money flows in popular tech stocks have reached very high levels quickly.  This is often a contrary signal.  This means there is too much risk in buying popular tech stocks right here.  Since tech stocks have been the leaders, the risk in the overall market has increased.

On the positive side this market is controlled by the momo crowd and the upside momentum is increasing.  However the momo crowd is fickle.

Yesterday tech stocks fell.  The example of AMD that was published in ZYX Buy was spot on.  AMD fell about 5% and is being sold this morning.

Tech stocks continue to be sold this morning.  The weakness in tech is now spilling into the overall market in the early trade. However as a note of caution, the market is in the control of the momo crowd and the momo crowd is buying.

WHAT TRADE WAR, NASDAQ IS BREAKING OUT

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

What Trade War, Nasdaq Is Breaking Out

One of the keys to success in investing is to not only pay attention to opinions and logic but to also pay attention to the price action.

The trade war is heating up. There are disappointments in negotiations with China. Europeans are upset. Closer to home, Canada and Mexico are indignant. Common sense logic would say that the stock market should go down, but Nasdaq is breaking out of the congestion zone. Let’s explore with a chart.

The Chart

Please click here for an annotated chart of Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ). Nasdaq 100 (NDX) is acting stronger than Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500 (SPX). For this reason, the chart shown is not of the popular S&P 500 ETF (SPY) or DJIA ETF (DIA). Please note the following from the chart:

  • The chart shows the congestion zone with a rectangle. The congestion zone signified the struggle between bulls and bears with neither side winning.
  • The chart shows a breakout from the congestion zone. This indicates bulls temporarily winning the battle.
  • Overhead resistance is nearby as shown on the chart. This means that it is not prudent to aggressively buy here.
  • The chart shows that the breakout is not on high volume. This indicates that institutions are skeptical.
  • The chart shows that the RSI on the breakout is not higher than the prior high. This is a negative.

Of note is that the Russell 2000 represented by ETF (IWM) is also strong.  We have previously pointed that out and written about its significance.

As a note of caution, more bullishness does not mean aggressive buying. Buying still has to be selective and there may even be opportunities to short sell. If bad news continues on the trade war, the risk in this market will increase. For this reason investors need to be prudent about the cash levels they hold and what they buy.

The Arora Report recently decreased cash and hedges prior to the breakout shown on the chart. The trigger for more bullishness was the dovish statement from the Federal Reserve. In addition to stocks and ETFs to buy, The Arora Report provides its subscribers cash levels and hedges to hold based on a highly sophisticated proven ZYX Global Allocation Model with inputs in 10 categories. Please click here to see the 10 categories of input. The model is adaptive, i.e., it automatically changes itself with market conditions.  Please see ‘What To Do Now’ section below.
