The S and P
and the Nifty rallied last week. Indicators are mildly bullish for
the week. We have been selling off from resistance near the 200
DMA on the S & P and the sell-off is likely to continue with
bounces being sold into. Finally, we got a sustainable bounce that
could test the 50 DMA near 3900 on the S and P. The October swoon
is here tracking closely the 2008 move down in the S and P, implying a panic
low right ahead in the upcoming months.
The past week
saw a rebound in global markets, despite a continued rise in interest rates.
Transports held up last week after recently making new lows. The Baltic dry
index continued to fall. The dollar fell. Commodities bounced back. Valuations
are expensive, market breadth is weakening, and the sentiment is neutral.
The ongoing
currency crisis should push risky assets to new lows
across the board. Deflation is in the air despite the recent
inflationary spike and the Chinese Yuan, Euro, bonds, and
commodities are telegraphing just that. Feels like a 2008-style
recession trade has begun, with a decline in risk assets
across the board. (My views don’t matter, kindly pay attention to the levels).
The S&P
500 is below the 200 DMA and recently failed at this important mark,
after spending a very long time above it, and its 200 DMA is declining. Monthly
MACDs on most global markets are still negative. This
spells trouble and opens up significant downside risk ahead. We have got bounces
without capitulation. This suggests the lows may not be in
and the regime has changed from buying the dip to selling the rip. We
may get a final flush down soon. Risky assets are
breaking to the downside across the board. Downward earnings revisions are
likely soon.
The Fed is aggressively
tightening into a recession. Tail risk while moderating is
still high. Deflationary busts often begin after major inflationary
scares. The market has corrected significantly and more is left on the
downside. The Dollar, commodities, transports, and, bond yields are
continuing to flash major warning signs.
The epic
correction signal occurred with retail, hedge funds, and speculators all in, in
the recent melt-up in January, suggesting a major top is in.
The moment of reckoning is here. Technicals are tracking
fundamentals and have recently turned bearish. With extremely high valuations,
a crash is on the menu. Low volatility suggests complacency and downside ahead.
We rallied 46%
right after the Great Depression (the 1930s) 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 3300 area
is emerging on the S and P, and 15000 should arrive
on the Nifty in the next few months. The Nifty which has
been out-performing will likely catch up with other assets on the downside
soon.
The trend has
changed from bullish to bearish and the markets are getting a reality check and
getting smashed by rising rates and a strong dollar.
Looking for significant underperformance in the Nifty going forward on rapidly
deteriorating macros. Yield curves are inverting yet again reflecting a
major upcoming recession.
The critical
levels to watch for the week are 3765 (up) and 3740 (down) on
the S & P 500 and 17650 (up) and 17500 (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 yet
again and will likely prove to be a sell on every rise. Gold is
increasingly looking like the asset class to own in the upcoming decade
despite the recent selloff. You can check out last week’s
report for a comparison. Love your thoughts and feedback.
