(5/24/22) Markets were able to hold support at last week's lows--and important test of the bottom, and a set up for a double-bottom. Unfortunately, markets are pointing lower following Snapchat's poor report, which is weighing on FAANG stocks, which in turn are placing a drag on the S&P. A commonality of recent weeks has been a rally that gets sold-into, which has been the heart of the negative pressure on the 20-DMA. Price declines are also what's keeping the MACD signal in "sell" territory, and yesterday's rally did not trigger a "buy" signal. Because markets are so over-sold, we are expecting some type of intermediate-term rally providing investors an opportunity to rejigger portfolios and adjust for risk. There is SO much negative sentiment in the markets; when markets do what no one expects--that will be The Opportunity to take advantage of.

(5/23/22) The Dow is now stringing together 8-weeks of losses--its worst performance since the 1920's.

(5/23/22) Breaking through the markets' 20% barrier does not a bear market make, regardless of breathless media commentary. 20% off today's S&P is merely a correction, thanks to the lone-term bullish trend of rising prices remains well intact. On Friday, buying came in in the late afternoon, holding onto support established earlier last week. Markets are looking to move higher this morning--an indication that the bottom could hold, and the first, key test will be right at 4,000, right where its 20-DMA is sitting. However, there are several downtrends with which to be dealt. The good news is that Volatility is not indicating a panic-driven selling bear market. While there is much selling pressure, Volatility has been declining, and the markets' decline has been quite orderly. After eight weeks straight of selling in the Dow, and seven-weeks of similar activity in the S&P, it would not be surprising to see a couple of positive weeks in the markets at this point...offering a great opportunity to rebalance risk and reposition portfolios for what happens later this year as the Fed hikes rates and tightens policy.

(5/19/22) Retailers' earnings reports are offering sobering insights to how the economy is really doing, and analysts are finally waking up to the realities.

(5/19/22) Target and Walmart's warnings about future earnings pulled the rug out from under stocks Wednesday, essentially reversing all of the previous gains, going back to last week. The data suggests a recession is near, if not already here. (We raised cash in anticipation of the worst.) The current level of resistance will be important for markets to break above in order to get the rally back on track. Negative money flows have improved, providing a glimmer of hope for investors. The S&P has been down for the past 7-weeks--8-weeks for the Dow--providing more seller pressure, and feeding seller-exhaustion. Could markets move lower from here? Yes. In fact, markets will open down following yesterday's extensive sell-off, which is not too surprising. It is important that markets hold intra-day lows from last week--down into three-standard-deviation territory. If those hold, it will set up a double-bottom, and there's plenty of resistance at the 20-DMA. Near-term, there are not a lot of positive catalysts to sustain that upward movement--so there still remains definite risk to the downside.

(5/18/22) What misses by Amazon, Target, and WalMart are telling us about the state of the consumer, which is the backbone of the economy. Markets remain in a well-defined downtrend, but are working off an over-sold status. All the free money that came into the economy is gone--here comes the post-sugar rush crash. The part of Keynesian Economics that everyone misses; Why proprietary investment vehicles might not be a good idea: No transferability = highly illiquid.

(5/18/22) Target and Walmart reporting less than expected earnings, and missing by a mile, as they cite higher price pressure and building inventories. This would suggest we have likely seen the peak of inflation, along with slower consumer activity--both are pre-recessionary indicators that are also disinflationary. Target and WalMart stocks are consumer bellwethers, telling us now that consumption is, indeed, slowing down as inflation begins to impact consumer buying habits. As consumer spending counts for 70% of economic growth, this does not bode well for corporate earnings in the second half of the year. This will also weigh on S&P pricing later this year. Over the past several days, markets have bottomed and turned back upwards, stringing together four positive days. Closing higher than where we open today will indicate a continuation of a positive trend. The point is to use the rally to sell those laggards to reduce portfolio risk.

(5/17/22) Stocks are looking to open sharply higher following yesterday's consolidation and advance. This makes three "green" days in a row, providing more lift to markets in the short term. Our initial target on SPY is still 416--at the 20-DMA, the first level of resistance, and also part of the current downtrend. The next level up will be 430 or 431. We will want to use any rally to dell into and reduce risk. If markets are able to break out of the down channel, we can always put cash back to work. Money flows and over-sold positions suggest this rally has some legs to stand on.

(5/16/22) Markets put in a big bottom last week--at least for the short term. Even though markets finished down for the day on Thursday, they rallied back above the open, setting up a green candle, and establishing a test of the level at three standard-deviations from the 50-DMA. Friday's subsequent rally pushed the index up to within two standard-deviations from the 50-DMA, and got close to triggering a money flow buy signal in a market that was still very over-sold. Establishment of this bottom now prepares the market for a rally up to the 20-DMA, currently on the SPY at 416-418. That level is the top of the current downtrend line, around 430 on the S&P. All of the elements are in place to create a rally back up to higher levels. Whan that happens, use this as an opportunity to reduce risk and rebalance portfolios.

(5/12/22) Markets remain under pressure after April CPI numbers show hotter-than-expected inflation. But looking at longer-term charts can give a better understanding of where we've been...and where we're going. Are we over-bought, or over-sold, and where is the downside risk, and where is the potential support, moving forward? The S&P is currently 3-standard-deviations below the 50-week Moving Average, and money flow indicators are also over-sold. With the Fed remaining in a tightening mode, any reflexive rally will be limited. The NASDAQ is similarly deviated to the downside of its 50-week Moving Average, as well as over-sold now as much as it was in March 2020, as the Fed was reversing itself in terms of QE (which set up for a nice rally); we don't have that, yet. Cryptocoins are also coming under a tremendous amount of pressure; Bitcoin, Ether, and others, have all become high-beta trades in the markets. Oversold positions indicate we could be seeing a tradeable rally, and if so, that would be a good place to take some profits. 0:43 - S&P 50-week Moving Average analysis 3:08 - NASDAQ 50-week Moving Average analysis 4:09 - Cryptocurrency analysis Hosted by RIA Advisors' Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFyiWgEuxgA&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 ------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketBottom #Inflation #Cryptocurreny #Bitcoin #CPI #FederalReserve #Markets #Money #Investing

(5/11/22) The CPI inflation print for April could affect markets today--will it come in softly, or reflect a stronger print from April 2021. If inflation wanes, will the Fed be less aggressive? If so, that's an encouraging sign for growth stocks in particular. The market Tuesday did try to rally, but failed; markest are still deeply over-sold on every metric we track, so a lot of fuel remains for a rally. Any good news on inflation would tend to provide some lift to markets.

(5/10/22) Monday's market Capitulation actually smelled like margin calls coming home to roost; as financial conditions continue to tighten, the Fed is relentless in its squeeze. The inflation now was caused by "free" money (which isn't); the best course for the Fed now is to do nothing, and allow inflation to run its course in curing itself. Low volatility begets high volatility, and investor sentiment now is so bearish...it's bullish. Corporate Reporting Preview; look to buy value today--why Uber is not; TeleDoc, Peloton vs Amazon.

(5/9/22) Concerns over Fed speakers and Inflation numbers releases this week, as markets begin trading deep in the red; will we see inflation's peak--and with that, a softer stance by the Fed? Markets are starting the week down three standard-deviations from the 50-DMA. Professional, Retail, and Positioning sentiment are all quite pessimistic across the board; technical indicators are over-sold on virtually every level. At this point, it's extremely important to not allow emotions to take hold of your investing decisions and push you into a position of forced selling. If you're not happy about where your portfolio is right now, you've got an allocation problem; use the coming reflexive rally to sell off positions of weakness, and to balance the risk in your portfolio. If you sell today, keep in mind--markets could dip lower down to the 3900 level. That's likely to be short-lived, as evidence by market performance shortly after the invasion of Ukraine, and the sell-off following January's peak. At each such event, markets had a nice reflexive rally, and appear to be similarly setting up for the same thing again. Emotional selling opportunities tend to be traps for investors.

(5/6/22) Despite all the gyrations on Wall Street this week, the S&P is still above Monday's close; just about the time you think you know what's going on, the market proves otherwise.

(5/5/22) The Fed is raising rates by 50-basis-points, but tapering its balance sheet at a slower pace than expected, causing great jubilation on Wall Street, and a 3% rally after the announcement. The narrative the Fed feeds does not always comport with reality; how Jerome Powell "walks the line." Is the Fed looking at the economy in the right way? Economic data are telling a different story; is the market actually bottoming--or could it go even lower from here? Why companies are always slow to hire and slow to fire.

(5/5/22) Jerome Powell's announced 50-basis-points rate hike was as expected--but the Fed added a dovish tone by slowing the rate of tapering on its balance sheet. With Professional and Retail investor sentiment at some of the lowest levels we've seen, and positioning very, very light in equities, the bit of good news was all Wall Street needed to stage a 3% rally, pushing up to resistance at the 20- and 50-DMA's. If markets go there, that's the signal to raise a little cash, take some profits, and clean up your act. We're not quite out of the woods; with a short-term buy signal triggered, money flows positive, and the MACD starting to turn upward, this is the bullish octane markets need.

(5/4/22) Today's FOMC meeting will reveal what Jerome Powell & Co really think about the economy, and how the Federal Reserve intends to address inflation: Corporate earnings are decent, but forward guidance is sucky. What we mean when we say we're "taking profits;" how to adjust your portfolio strategy for risk, and why cash is king. Don't confuse narratives for returns: Indexes paint a different view than what's really happening in the markets; the guaranteed returns of Bonds; the surprising proclivity of cryptocurrency investors to gambling; housing valuation compared to stock markets; the impact of the velocity of information; why a buy-and-hold strategy does not work.

(5/4/22) Market futures are elevated following two days of volatility and a slow grinding higher; lots of trepidation on Wall St. as the Fed's FOMC meeting convenes today. What the Fed says--or does not say--will affect markets, and in turn, your money. Will the Fed announce a 50-basis-point hike in rates, and a tapering of its balance sheet starting in June--or--will they be more aggressive, hiking rates 75-basis-points, with more, similar rate hikes to come? We suspect the FOMC will do exactly as expected with a more dovish approach to inflation, raising rates only 1/2%. If that is the case, and the Fed hints that inflation may have peaked, that will bode well for stocks. Money flows have remained positive despite market gyrations, and any good news--or expected news--from the Fed could boost markets higher. It would be no surprise to see a market rally up to about the 50-DMA at 4,300, which, at that level, would provide a nice opportunity to rebalance portfolios and reduce risk. Think ahead about the coming headwinds later this year as inflation recedes, but economic growth slows. Markets are still in a downward trend, going back to support levels from September. Even as markets are primed to rally, there is still much resistance overhead.

(5/3/22) The FOMC meets tomorrow, and while many are anxiously awaiting the Fed's pronouncements on Thursday, in reality, markets may have already "baked-in" its expected 50-basis point rate hike and $90-B balance sheet taper to begin in June.

(5/3/22) The next Fed meeting is tomorrow, at which the FOMC is expected to hike rates 50-basis points, and reduce its balance sheet by $90-Billion starting in June. But what if they don't? What if the Fed says it's raising rates by 75-basis points, and issues a much more hawkish view on inflation? That's the risk markets are facing as they try to position ahead of the meeting. With markets so negatively biased, any news that matches expectations will be viewed as GOOD news, and markets could rally back to the 50-DMA from here. Markets are very over-sold on multiple levels; so any news that's not bad news could trigger a reflexive rally. Additionally, the blackout window for corporate share buybacks closed, which could allow for up to $5-billion a day worth of trading, and more upward lift for stocks for the next six weeks.

(5/2/22) Will April's showers bring a flowering to the markets in May? Comparing 2021 to now--is a bigger bear market coming? (Anything the Fed says next can tilt markets one way or the other.) The potential for a short-term rally is likely; use it to rebalance risk in portfolios. Wall Street's golden plateau is "buy & sell;" the velocity of news can destroy market caps overnight; Warren Buffett: "Markets are a Casino." Expectations for shrinkage in Fed balance sheet by mid-June; we may actually be closer to end of market carnage; why we cannot have a bear market: Everyone is expecting it. Avoiding making emotional investment decisions; know when to leave the table. The trouble with comparisons. SEG-1: Is a Bigger Bear Market Coming?

(5/2/22) Markets are set to prove the April-to-May adage: Thunderstorms on Wall Street in April resulted in extremely negative investor sentiment. Markets are very over-sold, and positioning is very light--not surprising given market performance last month. Can markets go lower? Certainly. And we could see a bit of a short-term rally at this point, too, albeit with a lower high as the market continues to establish a down trend. We could also see a revisitation of Russian Invasion lows as markets flirt in three standard deviation territory. A rally here would not be surprising at all. The Month of May sees a return of stock buy backs, which, if they occur, could give stocks a lift all the way into mid-June. So there ARE reasons to expect a rally; use it to lighten positions and reduce risk ahead of events that could impact Wall Street.

(4/28/22) Facebook/Meta's report last night boasted increased users but diminished revenues, boosting its opening price to just about its 50-DMA. Despite the rally in the stock, there is still some concern: Over the past 9-months, Facebook has been down nearly 50% from its 52-week high. We're concerned whether this recent rally can stick. Why does this matter? Because Facebook is among those giant stocks in the NASDAQ which comprise 33% of the S&P 500 Market Cap. When this stock rallies, the effect lifts the entire index. On Wednesday, the NASDAQ was down about 22% for the year, already in a bear market. Under the surface, there's been some real devastation: the lift we're expecting this morning from Facebook should move markets off the March lows. If we can get a bounce that holds, it will push the NASDAQ up towards the 50-DMA. But as inflation, the war in Ukraine, and Fed rate hikes cap upward movement, use any rally you see to rebalance portfolios and reduce risk.

(4/27/22) Markets remain under pressure as earnings come in not as strong as expected. Markets retested March's low, but this morning futures are pointing higher. Markets remain over sold, so expect at least a small, short-term rally. This would be a good time to rebalance and adjust for risk. Google reported worse-than-expected earnings, breaking down below support. Google is very over-sold but allow the stock to recover as investors digest just how bad earnings were. Microsoft, similarly, has been under pressure, and in a very over-sold condition. We expect it will rally about 7% out of the gate this morning, thanks to yesterday's earnings beat. Apple reports tomorrow.

(4/26/22) Markets followed-up Friday's losses by opening down on Monday and re-test lows from February and March, then bounced back up for a half-percent gain on the day. We've seen this kind of reflexive activity before, when markets are trolling along the bottoms...Markets remain over-sold, futures are weaker this morning, with more earnings reports to come today which might set the tone in Tech for tomorrow. Money flows are beginning to turn positive, with follow-through expected over the next few days. For positioning purposes, we're expecting a rally back to the top of the downtrend line--there is still a lot of angst over inflation, economics, and next week's Fed meeting. What the Fed has to say next week will drive the markets for the next month. If the Fed admits inflation has already peaked and deflation is nigh--any type of dovish language--that will help buoy the stock market in the short term. If, however, the Fed leans more hawkishly, with 50-basispoint rate hikes to come in an aggressive fight with inflation, that will dampen stocks. We're not quite "all clear" yet, but there is a short-term tradable opportunity from these over-sold conditions. As we have said before, use any rally to rebalance risk in portfolios.

(4/25/22) Markets broke support of the consolidation range on Friday, leading to a sharp sell-off. Lower market futures this morning would indicate a re-test of March lows. While frustrating, markets remain over-sold, and we're looking for some kind of impetus for a counter-trend reflexive rally. Overall sentiment is very negative, and positioning by professional traders is also quite light, suggesting overall market psychology is very negative as well. Contrarians would believe we've got a nice set up for a reflexive rally, but such activity may not get very far as we move into May and the Fed next meeting--likely to produce another rate hike. Any dovish language at the meeting--like a "peak of inflation," would tend to help fuel a bit of a rally. We're reticent about selling right now, and looking for a bounce that could be quite vicious. And if you're not happy with your positioning, not liking this market, look for a rally opportunity to rebalance your risk. Caveat: Don't expect any rally at this point to take us back up to all-time highs. There are too many headwinds, earnings have been just okay--not really great--and the companies that are missing being severely punished.

(4/21/22) The Major Cap companies' earnings reports are just part of the overall investing picture. The S&P is setting up to rally to previous highs, but because the Fed is about to start hiking rates, we're expecting continued pressure on equity prices. The NASDAQ is over-sold, like the S&P, but still trading below its 50-DMA. Tech stocks have been under more pressure, lately. A lift to the S&P will also drag the NASDAQ up, as well. Disinflationary pressure in the economy will also lead to a rotation back into growth stocks, which tend to do better in a disinflationary environment. Small-Cap stocks are the most-impacted by slower economic growth, higher interest rates, and inflation; subsequently, these have been really under-performing the larger-cap indexes. Small-Caps are about half-way through the cycle from over-sold to over-bought, and have shown improved performance. Long-term trends have not been favorable. Mid-Caps look almost identical to Small-Caps--a lot of under-performance relative to the S&P. Emerging Markets continue to be under pressure from slower economic growth, inflation, and the war in Ukraine. Use any bounce here to reduce your exposure.

(4/20/22) The Q1 Earnings Parade continues; the conundrum for Netflix, bundling vs a la carte--it's an issue of too many providers for a paucity of quality content. What's really important this earnings season is what companies will be saying about forward guidance. A 20% correction is not impossible. QE vs QT: Quantitative Easing did not cause inflation--"free" money from the Government did. You wanna avoid paying taxes, or make money? Taxes are bound to go up to finance government debt. The strategic benefit of tax-loss harvesting: Pay it now or pay it later. Why the 4% Withdrawal Rate in financial planning is outdated. Why $1-mil isn't going to generate enough income in retirement.

(4/20/22) A 2-million subscriber deficit for Netflix triggered a warning by the streaming service on Tuesday--the first such alarm for Netflix in a while. Interesting to notice how other streaming subscription services will report, as too many providers cannibalize one another's audiences. Stocks, however, are shaking off that bad news, with futures turning around this morning. The post-tax-day market behavior was as expected. Markets are in a good position to rally back up to a previous peak, which could continue into next week. The key thing to watch in earnings reports will be the guidance moving forward. Others may also be impacted by higher inflation, less liquidity, and less consumer spending.

(4/19/22) Does an inverted Yield Curve necessarily mean the Recession is over? (No.) The problem in trying to predict onset of a bear market--we don't usually know until 9-months or so later. Bear markets are fast and fierce; bull markets last longer. Negative investor sentiment generally correlates with market bottom. The Fed has not yet begun to taper! Why more people are using Google to diagnose illnesses; Acceptance of Risk is key to planning for a bear market. No one HAS to invest; it's okay to be in cash. Why Cryptocurrency is still a fiat currency. Grammar counts; no more masks (yay!) Elon Musk & Twitter's poison pill. SEG-1: Is a Bear Market Coming?

(4/19/22) Markets continue to consolidate along recent set of lows; trading below the 50-DMA, providing some overhead resistance. This, combined with the most negative investor sentiment in 30-years, and the market hasn't really done much since September '21. Over the last few weeks, markets have been on a sell-signal, and declining. Over the new few weeks, markets are likely to work off over-bought conditions, triggering a money flow buy-signal, and setting up markets for a counter-trend rally. Consternating for investors? You bet--underlying sentiment is negative, suggesting markets may have more fuel for a rally, turning media bias from negative to positive; but at that point, shrinking liquidity, slowing economic growth, a pick up in layoffs, and a decline in wages--recession will begin to take hold. It's counter-intuitive, but there is so much negative sentiment at this point, it's actually hard to have a bear market. But it's coming...

(4/14/22) Wednesday's market action provided a good example of how to best implement stop losses in your portfolio. When the market breaks below a moving average, there is sometimes a market bounce, and an improperly placed stop loss would cut you out of that rally. Wait for confirmation that the break of the 50_DMA is legit. Pay attention to sell signals relative to the market's over-sold or over-bought conditions. The retest and failure of the 50-DMA is the validation you're looking for. The key is not to react immediately to a break in the moving average; let the market tell you it's for real. You may risk more upside, but at the expense of less emotional stress as you navigate the markets. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ztjGikMozE&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 ------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketBounce #StopLoss #PortfolioManagement #Markets #Money #Investing
