When Markets Exhibit a Lack of Clarity, That’s Clarity

2024.08.14 02:35

We are exercising caution as the growth stocks and S&P 500 (NYSE:) are in warning phases, well below their July calendar ranges, and with momentum showing some mean reversion but not enough momentum to get me to put clients in new positions

Could that change?

Yes, but I’d rather wait for that to change and meanwhile consider the relative strength in the metal miners and right now.

Also, long bonds are signaling trouble ahead with risk off.

As the market finds some footing we see rotation back into growth stocks.

While the market sorts out the true value of equities going forward considering these variables

  1. Future earnings
  2. Rising costs
  3. Geopolitics
  4. FED rate cut and by how much,

We are focused on commodities for investors looking to enter low-risk, high-return potential right now.

Nasdaq Indecisive

Right now, the chart shows a lack of clarity.

While the move off the lows is impressive, needs to clear the 50-DMA and the July 6-month calendar range low.QQQ-Daily Chart

The performance versus the has improved, while the Momentum at this point, also needs to prove more.
