The S and
P and the Nifty were up last week. Indicators are bullish for the week. Deflation is in the
air despite the recent inflationary spike. Feels like a 2000 style recession
trade has begun. The recent rebound will likely run into resistance. (My views
don’t matter, kindly pay attention to the levels). The S&P 500 closed
below the 200 DMA recently, after spending a very long time above it. Monthly
MACD’s on most global markets have gone negative after a long time. This
spells trouble ahead and opens up a significant downside ahead.
We got a bounce that reached the 200 DMA without capitulation. This suggests the lows may
not be in. Markets have been making new highs amid loads of divergences and risky assets are breaking to the
downside. Earnings revisions have been average, but any significant upward
revisions appear unlikely. Typical late-cycle FED put stuff has
led to a taper tantrum following the recent taper announcement
from the FED and a likely top. Tail risk has
skyrocketed recently. 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.
While tail risk has abated a bit and the transports are leading, The
Dollar, market breadth, corporate bonds, and high yield bonds, are still 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 may be in. The moment of reckoning is very near. Technicals
are tracking fundamentals and have turned 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 120% in our most recent rally of the lows in
the last 2-year period. After extreme euphoria for the indices, a highly
probable selloff to the 4000 area is emerging on the S and P, and 15000 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.
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 changing from bullish to bearish and the markets are about
to get smashed by a strong dollar. Looking for significant
underperformance in the Nifty going forward on rapidly deteriorating macros.
Tail risk has been very high of late, as yield curves are about
to invert yet again reflecting a major recession. The critical levels to
watch for the week are 4475 (up) and 4450 (down) on the S & P 500
and 17350 (up) and 17200 (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 getting torched as expected. Gold is
increasingly looking like the asset class to own in the upcoming decade.
