(8/22/22) Over-extended markets sold off on Friday after breaching the 50-DMA, and ran into resistance at the 200-DMA. This 9-week rally aligns with similar bear market rallies historically; one thing we're looking for is a sell-signal in the MACD indicator. The money flow indicator is also showing a sell-signal, suggesting some downward pressure follow-through this morning (futures are pointing lower.) The first support test will be at the 20-DMA. The 50-DMA is the markets' "line in the sand." More detailed analysis is provide in this weekend's Bull Bear Report, the link for which is found below.

(8/18/22) If the Fed's most recent FOMC Meeting Minutes were a fairytale, it might be an adaptation of The Three Bears--something for Goldilocks and everyone else. Markets rallied right into the 200-dma, selling off in the morning, as the Fed fed both hawks and doves in its FOMC Meeting minutes release: "Moving to a restrictive policy stance is required" inspired the hawks, but does not suggest a Fed picot anytime soon. But, "the bulk of the tightening effect is yet to be felt," teased market bulls that the Fed isn't going to tighten as much because of the 9-month lag between Fed monetary policy actions and economic effects. Future rate hikes will be determined by incoming information, which soothes the souls of dovish investors concerned about the pacing of future rate hikes.

(8/17/22) Retailers' earnings reports and forecasts are painting a gloomy picture in contrast to Wall Street's cheerleaders: Target's earnings (and what they did to liquidate surplus inventory) is a cautionary tale. FOMC Meeting Minutes will be released today, expected to reveal the Fed's proclivities about future rate hikes. If you assume we're in a Bear market, you must also presume there has to be a rally.

(8/17/22) Markets are already up 17% from the last lows, making for an incredible run-up and an about-face from mid-July's pessimism to the current state of euphoria. Two things to keep in mind today: The most recent FOMC Meeting minutes will be revealed, with many looking for a more dovish slant from the Fed, anticipating a stall in rate hikes sooner than later. Markets are now two standard deviations above the 50-DMA, and markets will have difficulty remaining at that level without some reversion TO the average or BELOW the average. When that occurs, a better buying opportunity will present itself. It will be important for stocks to hold support at whatever level its reversion establishes; if not, markets will break below that point, and the media will trumpet the return of a bear market.

(8/16/22) We might not yet be in Recession, but the stage is being set for one; if the Fed has to cut rates, the underlying reason will not bode well for markets. What has happened to demand? Biden bill to reduce inflation will not have much effect, but will cause higher inflation, negative GDP, and job losses; will also result in more IRS audits for middle class.

(8/16/22) Markets have been on a rallying tear since May; unfortunately, these bull rallies do not have an unlimited life, and after ten-weeks of this action, markets are very over-bought, and at this point, historically, there have always been corrections along the way to re-test support. So a correction to about 4,000 on the S&P would be no surprise and would provide a decent entry point for adding a little more equity exposure to your portfolio - if, indeed, this is a trending bull market. The difference, this time, is where interest rates are now, as the Fed reduces its balance sheet. Interestingly, markets are behaving in much the same way as before, using a little hindsight bias to justify buying. The weekly technicals indicate a bullish market, but that's on a short-term basis, and care should be taken as we remember that the Fed is tightening up liquidity, not increasing it.

(8/15/22) Markets are very bullish on a short-term basis, and are set to test the 200-DMA; that's hard to believe with all the negative economic data that's currently about. Think that's weird? Markets are markets, and they tend to lead the economy, rather than lag. But it's way too early to determine whether markets are telling us the worst of the economic downdraft is behind us. If markets continue to advance, a pullback to support would then provide an opportunity for more equity exposure short-term. Much will depend upon what the Fed does, and the Jackson Hole meeting later this month may provide a clue. Economic data remains very weak, supporting the bearish case that the Fed's not done yet. Inflation is not going to come down from the 8% range this year, and the Fed is not reducing its quantitative tightening anytime soon, which has helped support stock prices for the past several years. The bears, therefore, have a good case as Fed liquidity begins to come out of the market at some point. So, short term, markets are bullish, but over the long haul, the bears may return.

(8/11/22) Inflation came in less than expected, spurring stocks higher, as expected. The 0% print was almost entirely due to falling energy prices, but without that variable, CPI actually rose a bit, with Core CPI still in positive territory. (This doesn't mean that inflation declined; it's still advancing at 8.5%. The hope now is that the Fed won't have to hike rates as much. There are technical backdrops that are encouraging to the bullish perspective on stocks. The bearish case remains the Fed, as if continues to raise rates and tighten monetary policy. Going forward, earnings have to be better-than-expected in an environment where earnings estimates are falling, the economy is weakening, and wage pressures impact corporation. Fundamentally, this is not good for equity prices.

(8/10/22) Markets have rallied up into resistance over the past few days, consolidating at previous resistance levels, waiting on today's inflation print. [NOTE: At 7:30a CDT, CPI reported "cooler" than expected, at 8.5% year over year.] Weaker inflation will be interpreted as being good for stocks, because the Fed may be compelled to slow their aggressive rate hike campaign. Regardless, markets are very overbought on a short-term basis. The longer-term MACD indicator, however, is starting to weaken, suggesting price momentum is slowing. The question now is how stocks might transition over the next few days. There is more risk to the downside than there is upside potential. A correction back to the 50-DMA will provide a better opportunity to put capital to work.

(8/9/22) The debates are raging over whether we're seeing the dawning of a new Bull Market, or only a continuation of a Bear Market rally. Who'll be correct? More importantly, what should YOU do at this juncture? Markets have been improving, technically...a nice pattern of rising tops and bottoms has led markets back up to resistance levels from June of this year. If markets fail from this point, it will confirm the Bear Market Rally; however, there are some indicators of more Bull Market action. Stocks could go through a repricing as the Fed raises rates, tightens liquidity, and economic activity slows, weighing on corporate earnings and outlooks. If the Fed is closer to ending its campaign against inflation, though, that might be interpreted as the economy is as bad as it gets, and a turnaround is ahead. There are good arguments for both these, which is why we're keeping a little cash on the sidelines, and allowing the markets to do what they're going to do.

(8/8/22) The so-called "Inflation Reduction" Act gets a fresh skin, but it's the same old wine, and its impact on inflation will be to exacerbate the problem further. The newly re-named the "Climate Change & Tax Act" is the same old tax & spend bill as before; the devil is in the details. How the math really works, and why inflation will be lower in 2023, but not down to the Fed's 2% target. 10% of the bill will fund hiring 87k new IRS employees.

(8/8/22) Negative market sentiment should lead to lower equity prices, but in the short-term, some bullish patterns emerge. Markets' three-week rally is tempting the media to hype the new, bullish mood. Markets still have a lot of work ahead as the Fed hikes rates and tightens policy in its inflation fight,. That's going to lower economic activity, which will, in turn, force stocks to reprice for that. If markets pull-back, where will support be found? Interestingly, the 50-DMA is being crossed by the 20-DMA, indicating that any pull-back is likely to be pretty decent support for the short term--we're thinking around 3,950 to 4,000 on the S&P. A 200-point decline would be a nice correction. However, any voilation of the 50-20 crossover would suggest a re-test of lows, and put us back into a bearish trend. A pull-back that holds puts you in a position for greater equity exposure.

(8/4/22) Markets have been due for a rally following extremes in negative sentiment and positioning by fund managers and hedge funds. The extreme bearishness meant there were no sellers left in the market, setting up for a buying frenzy. Now the headlines are heralding a "new bull market" that "you've got to get in." The markets are predicting the Fed will pivot...BUT, the Fed is saying no such thing, with Fed Pres. Bullard advocating for 3.5% rates. In fact, the most recent rate increases won't even show up the markets for 9-months. There IS a difference this time as the Fed fights the highest levels of inflation in 40-years. And markets have yet to price in the effects of slower economic activity as a result of the higher rates.

(8/3/22) Markets will open higher after a sloppy Tuesday of trading, trying to hold on to the bullish rally that started in July. Markets are now as over-baought as they were in March; markets need to hold the 50-DMA as support. With earnings coming in as a mixed bag, estimates for future earnings are coming down. Markets need to consolidate, and a pullback to the 50-DMA would set up for a stronger rally later. Things are still risky, and we're taking profits for now.

(8/2/22) Markets are set to open lower today following a strong July; negative sentiment and negative positioning by managers set things up for the strong rally, similar to activity we saw back in March. Could the pattern then be replicated in August? It is now critical that markets hold support at the current 50-DMA. Historically, the month of August tends to be weaker for markets, and September isn't that great, either. Meaning, we've got about two months' worth of seasonal weakness. But by the time we get to the seasonally-stronger months of October and November, the first of the Fed's rate hikes will have hit the economy. The risk will remain from high inflation, slower economic growth, and a still-aggressive Fed as we head into the end of the year.

(8/1/22) Markets have been extremely bearish, very over-sold, very bearish, and overdue for a very nice, a countertrend rally, which finally occurred in July. When markets began to come to the realization the deflation may be a bigger issue than inflation, we started to see a rotation out of Value and into Tech. That the bullish set-up that would indicate higher stock prices in the near-term. But as we move into the month of August, which is historically a weaker month, it would not be surprising to see a bit of consolidation pull-back. Much will depend upon the Fed's next step. A higher-than-expected CPI print in August could push the Fed for stronger anti-inflationary measures in September. When the Fed stops its rate hikes, a recession, and a decline in asset prices are typically not far behind.

(7/28/22) The Fed announced a 75-bp rate hike, as expected; markets rallied on the news the Fed is removing forward guidance, and could slow the velocity of rate increases over time. Markets interpreted that as a pivot in Fed policy, preparing to go back to zero interest rates and market-supportive quantitative easing. The resulting sharp rally in an otherwise bear market belied the Pain Trade by investors, with a case of FOMO--afraid of missing out...not missing the rally, but the fear of missing out on the bottom, should the Fed actually pivot on policy. This is a short-term trading opportunity, not necessarily a long-term investing opportunity: There are still plenty of issues to deal with, like higher interest rates, lower economic growth, and a potential recession.

(7/27/22) The Federal Reserve later today is to make an announcement about interest rates, expected to boost the overnight lending rate by 75 basis points...but could Powell & Co. cave to political pressure and pivot towards a kinder, gentler interest rate? In fact, there's a reason higher interest rates are healthier for the economy and individuals' financial well-being; there is a dark side to low interest rates, which prevent the natural economic cycle from performing. What we should be doing to take care of long term economic health; what WalMart's report on lower foot traffic really means. SEG-1: Will the Fed Surprise or Pivot?

(7/27/22) There is an interesting opportunity for investors in companies that miss estimates, yet rally afterwards, despite whatever bad news has been released. Could that be the case with two giants of the S&P and NASDAQ, Microsoft and Google? Additionally, was the less-than-happy news already priced-in to these stocks? Still to be seen is whether they can hold their current bottom, and rally above their 50-DMA. Both stocks are major players within the Top Ten holdings of the S&P; any rallies in these stocks will also help hold support in that index. Still to come today--the Fed's announcement on interest rates.

WalMart and UPS warnings it's no longer cheap to go to McDonald's. Watching Retailers' reports to reveal how American's are spending money. White House Tweets about gasoline prices and average American families; how the other 80% live on savings and credit cards: There's no pile of cash.

(7/26/22) Walmart blames inflation for a less-than-enthusiastic outlook, after previously warning about inventory builds. Monday's Q2 report underscored those concerns, as well as declining store traffic. These issues also feed into Amazon and Target, raising the question of how this will ultimately affect earnings in the retail sector through the second half of the year. Recession fear is certainly gaining traction. Tuesday morning futures are setting up to open lower for a retest of the 50-DMA; markets need to hold support at this level through the end of the week if we're going to build base at this point, allowing bulls to rally the market. Lots more earnings reports coming out today, and by the end of next week, we will have gone through 80% of the S&P 500 companies' results and forward guidance for the rest of the year, providing a really good handle on how much inflation is truly affecting the economy.

(7/25/22) It's a busy week of earnings reporting as July comes to an end, and the lifting of the blackout on corporate stock buy backs stands to free up $11-billion of daily activity. How did Markets react to inflation of the '60's vs now? S&P has potential to touch 4,180. Q2 GDP estimates begin to emerge. Looking for companies that miss earnings (by less than forecast), and show stock gains. Bad news is already baked-in. There is a difference between a bottom in stocks and the bottom of the market; have we seen peak inflation? Why we're not committing fully to this rally...yet.

(7/25/22) Markets got a little over-extended last week, pulling back and retesting the 50-DMA without violating it. That turned previous resistance into support, broke out of the downtrend channel, and set up a row of higher lows. The resulting rally, however, has been more subdued in intensity; the S&P could work its way up to 4,170. Earnings season moves into high gear this week, the Fed's meeting on Wednesday will reveal their next rate decision and forward-looking commentary, and the first estimate of Q2 GDP hits on Thursday: all events and items that will affect market mentality. Meanwhile, bond yields are telling a lot about expectations for economic growth. While inflation may be slowing more than expected, so, too, is economic growth. A break below 2.65% on the 10-year Treasury, we could a see a sharp decline in short-term interest rates. These facts give two, competing theories about which way the markets will go...and which theory about the economy is correct.

(7/21/22) From a bullish standpoint, there seems to be a lot of bullish input: MACD's on a buy signal, and markets are on a defined uptrend. The next level up will be 4170 on the S&P. We've seen this before, but here come the seasonally-weak months of the year. The Fed's tightening policy, and weakening economic data and manufacturing indexes, and a strengthening dollar will all feed into earnings later this year. Any kind of rally at this point is an opportunity to reduce exposure, raise cash, and hedge against risk.

(7/20/22) We haven't seen investors THIS negative since 2008--does this suggest we're nearing a market bottom? This is not then: We're running the highest inflation rate in 40-years, the Fed is tightening its balance sheet AND hiking interest rates. What do the technical charts tell us? Markets are oversold by two standard deviations from the 50-WMA--but not as bad as in May, or March 2020, or in early 2016, pre-Brexit. The MACD indicator is very low and starting to turn positive. Other oversold indicators are behaving similarly and starting to turn up as well. This COULD set up for a decent, tradable rally. A longer perspective, back to 1994, illustrates market behavior following the Dot-com crash of 2000, the financial crisis of 2008, Brexit in 2015-16, the March 2020 pandemic sell-off, and the Fed taper tantrum of 2018--all compared to the bear market sell-off we're experiencing now. It is key to note the declines are smaller in magnitude going forward--but over-sold indicators did not register extremes like we're seeing now. So, yes, we could be seeing the starts of an intermediate term bottom in the market--but it's still too early to jump into the market with both feet.

(7/19/22) Stocks were poised to break above the downtrend, but Apple's announcement to freeze hiring killed market momentum. Hiring freezes are the first step before layoffs--because the economy is slowing down. Futures are higher this morning, suggesting markets will again try to challenge the downward trend that's been in place since March. We're not in the mood for a lot of risk at this time; we're going to use whatever rally we get to rebalance portfolios. The existence of so much bearishness leads to the ability to have a stronger counter-trend rally. A break above the trends line will set up for new highs; but a break below the trendline will establish new lows, requiring a reassessment of positioning.

(7/18/22) Earnings season gets underway in earnest as most S&P 500 companies report; the Big Question is whether analysts have adjusted estimates enough--or are there more disappointments ahead? Forward-looking outlooks will be a big driver of prices. Two bullish indicators to note: Downtrend market channels established in March could be breached to the upside today; the 50-DMA is important resistance. Watch for the development of a counter-trend rally to entice buyers back into the market. If earnings come in at or better-than-expected, AND forward guidance isn't terrible, we could see a fairly strong counter-trend rally.
