The S & P 500 and the Nifty rallied last week.
Indicators are bullish for the week.
Earnings growth in the recent quarter has been very good but it is already in
the price. Typical late-cycle FED put stuff
is leading to an imminent top. Tail
risk has skyrocketed with the Skew/Vix ratio know in double digits. The
market is on the verge of an epic correction. Deflationary busts often begin
after inflationary scares (the market is calling the Fed’s bluff) and gold is
telegraphing just that. Transports and
the skew are flashing early warning
signs. The epic crash signal is alive and well with retail, hedge funds,
and speculators all in, despite the recent melt-up and break out of the
long-term broadening top, 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 90% 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 3000 area is emerging on the S and P,
and 10000 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) is
set to repeat across the globe. SPX 1500 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 4260 (up) and 4235 (down) on the S & P 500 and 15900 (up) and 15700
(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). Gold will
likely prove to be the best asset class
over the next 5 years. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison.
Love your thoughts and feedback.
