The Path of Least Resistance
Hey, Ross here: Welcome to a brand-new trading week. Before we dive deeper into what’s going on in the stock markets, let’s look at a chart that illuminates just what an anomaly the era of low interest rates truly was. Chart of the Day The days of 3% mortgages are over. And we may never […]
How to Survive This Bumpy Ride
Hey, Ross here: Markets are still digesting the Fed’s latest decision – and based on yesterday’s price action, it looks like a case of indigestion. When trying to see where the market will go next, one important chart to pay attention to is the 10-year Treasury yield – which just “gapped up”. Chart of the […]
The “Prattling Powell” Opportunity
Hey, Ross here: As expected, the Fed held interest rates steady yesterday. But in the post-meeting press conference, the more Powell spoke, the more indexes slid. Par for the course for a lot of the stuff that comes out of his mouth. And that’s just not something I’m saying because I don’t like the guy […]
99% Chance of the Fed Staying Put Today?
Hey, Ross here: It’s the day everyone’s been waiting for. We’ll find out later whether Powell’s going to screw it up for everybody – but I’m actually kind of positive (you’ll see why later). With that in mind, let’s look at a stock that could be setting up for a sweet breakout. Chart of the […]
Does It Really Matter What’s Next?
Hey, Ross here: As expected, it was a quiet session in the markets yesterday with most investors on a “wait and see” mode ahead of the Fed’s meeting, which starts today. And today’s chart – which I also shared last week – is a reminder that the new direction of the markets will likely soon […]
Bright Spots Amid the Chop Fest
Hey, Ross here: Welcome to a new trading week. Whatever Powell decides on Wednesday will have a huge impact on where the market moves next. In the meantime, the chop fest continues – but there are still a few bright spots. Chart of the Day Friday’s selloff was a flight from growth, with many stocks […]
The New Direction Will be Clear Soon
Hey, Ross here: As you know, markets have been range-bound for quite some time now. But as the Chart of the Day shows – it could all be resolved very soon. Chart of the Day The S&P 500 looks to be forming a classic pennant pattern – characterized by falling resistance and rising support. And […]
Contrarian Gains
Hey, Ross here: Let’s kick off the middle of the trading week with yet another actionable trading idea. Chart of the Day This is Cardlytics (CDLX) carving out a bottom over a period of 6-12 months, breaking through resistance (white horizontal line on chart) on high volume, and then doubling in short order. CDLX is […]
Ideal Positioning
Hey, Ross here: Let’s start the day with an actionable trading idea. Chart of the Day Kyndryl Holdings (KD) is a stock pushing up against a big resistance level. The enterprise software company went public in late 2021 just in time to get murdered by last year’s bear market. But KD is now trying to […]
Is This Sector the New King?
Hey, Ross here: To start the new trading week, let’s look at a sector that could be the leader for the next move upward. Chart of the Day The 2023 bull market has been powered by the artificial intelligence theme. Super Micro Computer, Palantir, Nvidia, and other big-name AI stocks have been the key driver […]
What the Dollar is Saying About the Stock Market
Hey, Ross here: And before we head off for the weekend, let’s look at a chart that has been inversely correlated with the stock market’s performance this year. Chart of the Day This is the DXY – the U.S. Dollar Index. And as you can see, it has largely been inversely correlated to the stock […]

Chart of the Day (Chart courtesy of @allstarcharts) This chart sums up the state of the markets in a single word – range-bound.
