Steve, Tonight's newsletter - Around the 10 min mark you discuss
reasons why you are intermediate term bearish (I believe).
Can you provide more detail on the intermediate/long term
divergences you are seeing (other than Elliott completions)?
This might be more appropriate for a weekend news letter.
Forgive me you have already covered this in past
newsletters.
I'm not sure what 'extensions in valuation 3 or 4 years past
previous levels' means- can you explain?
cape_rover - please go and review last weekend's newsletter for
starter's which shows multiple longer term index (price) charts.
In addition, there was divergence in the NYAD (see chart
below). Bear markets are often quite volatile (notice recent
action) and thus we could also see snapback rallies (such as
yesterday). I sent you a private message so please check your
inbox. With that being said, what's most important is to
respect price action on various time frames and adjust
accordingly.
Outside of technicals, rising interest rates (in addition to QT
which many seem to forget about) serve to impede corporate profits
(peak profits may be at hand) and thus contract multiples.
See my comments (click on title) back in October (along with
other references to rising rates/ QT in late spring/summer).
While I was certainly looking for price compression, I have to
admit the carnage has been stronger than I anticipated in such a
short period of time during what is historically stronger
seasonality. We are dealing with many uncertainties at this
time and there is no historical precedent for QT so it's really
hard to determine how its impacting the marketplace. Clearly,
the withdrawal of $50 Billion a month is a headwind which is now
getting some media coverage (after very little commentary in the
preceding months). In addition, we have seen multiple rate
increases which make capital more expensive which impacts buybacks,
etc. Liquidity is the lifeblood of the market and its clear
that bids have been evaporating over time. Respect the trend until
evidence changes.
definitely man, and that $50 billion withdraw was definitely
devastating as let's be honest, the bull market went on far longer
and higher than it naturally would have with all that QE and
liquidity. Once the crack was taken away, the patient
(market) went into withdraw systems like a drug addict
cape_rover- Steve is basing that on if the SPX completed has
completed a 5 wave uptrend from the 2016 lows, that trend would be
over and you would expect at least some sort of decent retracement
of that trend, in an ABC or other corrective pattern. Please
realize that's one scenario and is not set in stone, there are
others
