Market Summary

The main market indexes continue the pullback/consolidation that started last week. The February seasonality played out. Though, recall that QQQs have negative seasonality until mid-March. Indexes had mostly down bias, but a monster up day last Thursday still brought a small gain to indexes in the 2nd half. We had a similar situation with cycles in the last couple of months. The 40D and 80D cycles down phases resulted in a sideways move in the market indexes. Typical of strong bull moves.

Although the already-topped option could not be ruled out, ideally, I expect a bounce into early March.

Then, I expect a correction in the next 2-3 months. Cycles, EWT, technicals, and sentiment all support a correction in the intermediate term, but the market is very resilient. Raising cash on the rips is not bad when the market is overbought.

Market data as of 4:07 pm EST on 29 Feb. 2024.

Technical Analysis

Cumulative New High / New Low Line is another view of market breadth.

A longer-term view. It does not look good to me, but it is not a sell trigger by itself, as divergence can last for weeks, even months. It is a yellow/red flag.

Bitcoin

As expected, Bitcoin reversed from the green box target shown yesterday and is now down in an area where it could generate a down target toward 58k. Specifically, sideways to down the next few hours can get Bitcoin below the gray FLD band and generate the target.

Newsletters to check out

Today, I picked some newsletters that cover different investing/trading interests (click the image to check them out):

For my updates between newsletters, follow me on X (formerly Twitter):

SPY Options Max-Pain

SPY max-pain indicates a weakness into mid-March. Trend-wise, it is likely correct; I have some reservations regarding the actual levels of accuracy.

Date 2/29/2024 3/8/2024 3/15/2024 3/22/2024

Max-Pain 500 501 480 498 

Tech Bubble?

Technology stocks, or should I say Magnificent 7, versus S&P500. All-time highs.

Speculation is concentrated in crypto and Nasdaq 100 (Magnificent 7).

Sentiment

Corporate insiders are selling big time!
