The S and
P and the Nifty rallied last week. Indicators are bullish for the week. Deflation is in the
air. Markets are making new highs amid loads of divergences and a big move beckons in a seasonally
weak period for risk assets. Earnings revisions have been very good but it is
already in the price. Typical late-cycle FED put stuff is
leading to a taper tantrum and an imminent top. Tail
risk has skyrocketed with the Skew/Vix ratio recently touching double
digits. The market is about to begin an epic correction. Deflationary busts
often begin after inflationary scares (the market is calling the Fed’s bluff)
and long bonds are telegraphing just that. Transports, the Dollar,
market breadth, commodities, and the skew are flashing major
warning signs. The epic correction signal is alive and well with retail,
hedge funds, and speculators all in, despite the recent melt-up, suggesting a major
top is imminent. The moment of reckoning is very
near. Technicals are about to track fundamentals and turn bearish.
The market is yet to price in one of the worst earnings decline periods in
stock market history. With extremely high valuations, a crash is on the menu.
Extremely low volatility suggests complacency and downside ahead.
We rallied 46% right after the great depressions (1930’s) first
collapse and we have rallied over 100% in our most recent rally of the lows in
the last 12 month period. After extreme euphoria for the indices, a highly
probable selloff to the 3900 area is emerging on the S and P, and 13000 should
arrive on the Nifty in the next few months. The FED is repeating the Japan
experiment and the 3 lost decades in Japan (1989-2019) are set to repeat across
the globe. SPX 1800 and lower in a year and we stay there till 2030, scary? The
markets are very close to an epic meltdown and the SPX is headed way lower.
The markets are overvalued, overbought and out of touch with
economic realities. Long term, the epic meltdown is set to continue resulting
in a 5 year plus bear market with lot lower levels that may be as low as 800 on
the S and P. QE forever from the FED is about to trigger the deflationary
collapse of the century as we make a major top in global equity markets. The
market is looking like the short of a lifetime with topping action in the
transports, other global indices, and commodities. High valuations continue.
The recent global virus epidemic (black swan) has dented global
GDP significantly and will usher in a depression much faster than most think.
The trend is about to change from bullish to bearish and the markets are about
to get smashed by a rebounding dollar. Looking for significant underperformance
in the Nifty going forward on rapidly deteriorating macros. A 5-year
deflationary wave has started in key asset classes like the Euro, stocks, and
commodities amidst several bearish divergences and overstretched valuations.
We are entering a multi-year great depression. The markets are
still trading well over 3 standard deviations above their long-term averages
from which corrections usually result. Tail risk has been very high of late, as
interest rates are about to plunge yet again reflecting a major recession. The critical
levels to watch for the week are 4520 (up) and 4495 (down) on the S
& P 500 and 16800 (up) and 16600 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach
of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above
markets. High beta / P/E is about to get torched soon
(despite the bullish consensus emerging). You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. Love
your thoughts and feedback.
