History Is On Our Side
Hey, Ross here: And as I mentioned yesterday, let’s start the day with a fast actionable trade idea – this time to the short side. Chart of the Day Applied Materials (AMAT) has been a strong performer this year, but the stock is showing signs of rolling over. After failing to find buyers at the […]
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 […]
Patience and Positioning (Market Update from Charles Green)
Charles Green here, Senior Market Analyst here at Traders Agency. Here’s today Market Pulse 360. Market Pulse 360 for September 21, 2023 The Fed announced its interest rate decision yesterday. As I forecasted, it did not raise interest rates. In addition, as I anticipated, Powell stated interest rates will remain “higher (5.50%) for longer”. Most […]
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 […]
Volatility and Opportunity (Market Update from Charles Green)
Charles Green here, Senior Market Analyst here at Traders Agency. Here’s today Market Pulse 360. Market Pulse 360 for September 20, 2023 The Fed makes its interest rate decision and statement at 2 p.m. Eastern today. It’s highly probable that Powell will do nothing today, except reiterate his position to keep Fed Funds short-term interest […]
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 […]
Inflation, the Fed, and What It All Means (Market Update from Charles Green)
Charles Green here, Senior Market Analyst here at Traders Agency. Here’s today Market Pulse 360. Market Pulse 360 for September 14, 2023 The Consumer Price Index (3.7% Y/Y) for August that was reported yesterday and Producer Price Index reported today were slightly higher by 0.6%, but this had minimal effect on the market. The reports […]
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 […]
