$GDX breakout! Buy on any dip (4/5)Conviction: 4/5
This is one of the two breakouts that we've been waiting for since May 2021.
Buy on dip (possible retested yesterday already) on the horizontal dash line around 31.81.
Need to wait for breakout of resistance line since August 2020 to fully confirm breakout. However, Gold seems to have already broken out... so seems like just a matter of time.
February2022
GOLD building LT cup-and-handle (4/5)Conviction: 4/5
Long-term cup and handle since 2011, looks like ready for completion
However, in the short term, price is forming pennant.
Currently at support of pennant, could be good entry point.
To be more prudent, should probably wait until confirmation of breakout from top of pennant to enter.
Considerations
Rising yield => rising real yield => historically bad for gold, but it has not really been following real-yield relationship since bull run of 2020.
Recession risk (from falling PMI) should help gold outperform stocks, HOWEVER, in first move down, correlation usually goes to 1 (i.e. it will participate)
Eurozone ($EZU) looks sickly! (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
Seems to be turning down away from LT (2002) channel resistance. RSI-W also signaling further downside.
Looks like there might be an intermediate-term support around -10% away.
All in all.. may be a better risk:reward trade once it breaks down from the white support line. Either way, the trend looks negative.
If you are interested in Europe, perhaps UK will be a better trade.
$ACWX relative to $SPY potential (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
Overall still in LT (2009) down channel, so trade is quite risky... you are trading against the trend...
HOWEVER:
bounced off MT (2018) trend support
RSI looks pretty good
SPY ourperformance against world is pretty outrageous in the last 2 years, so some mean-reversion is likely
Trade duration... 3-5 months.
Much better trade is to wait for breakout confirmation, and wait for entry from likely retest.
$ACWX decision point!Unclear what is going to happen... probably not a good idea to trade this right now.
Can trade small position within the channel, although risky to trade against the trend...
Bull case:
potential bull flag setup
good relative value (in terms of performance) to S&P 500
holding peak-price support from 2017 so far
better to wait for confirmation of bull flag?
Bear case:
touching medium/long-term (2011) channel resistance
RSI-W at low levels, but not oversold yet
$NKE good Medium-Term entry (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
Hovering / bouncing off medium-term (2018) parallel channel support
Hovering / bouncing off short-term (2020) price level support
RSI-D looks like it is bouncing off from oversold levels
RSI-W approaching oversold levels
Risks
V expensive relative to own history, does not bode well for Long-term Returns
Expensive relative to market (e.g. S&P 500 P/S is 3ish)
Unimpressive growth
parallel channel support broken during 2020
$SSY looks promising (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
in upward channel, near bottom
Recently retested MT downtrend resistance-turned-support (2009, 2006)
Cheap relative to market but low growth and low margin
Risks
RSI-W not quite at oversold levels, this means we could continue to hug the trendline down towards support of parallel channel
negative FCF
About average (possibly peaking) P/S ratio relative to own history...
low growth and low margin
$Z good entry point (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
retesting MT (2016) support
RSI-W at oversold levels with possible bullish divergence
Growth is still good
P/S levels pretty reasonable
Risks
support was broken in 2020
Short history, does not cover last recession
negative FCF
slightly below historical equilibrium zone
$WMT good entry point (4/5)Conviction: 4/5
Thesis
at former resistance-turned-support (2008 peak)
near channel (2016) support
very cheap (P/S of 0.67), although more expensive relative to own history
RSI-W not overbought at all
RSI-D showing possible bullish div
Risks
balance sheet is a bit weak (low quick ratio)
Silver at good mid-term entry (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
Still bouncing around in (what seems to be) a bull-flag. How hovering at a strong support level (2014).
At least a good trade until top of flag channel, although I think (pure personal opinion) that silver has potential to reach ~$50 level if elliott wave OR bull flag is correct.
For this to be confirmed, should wait until prices break above resistance level... so entry here is more speculative... but still provide good R:R
$CRM Expensive, but some ST value (4/5)Conviction: 4/5
Main Risk: Riding top of channel since inception (2004)
Quite expensive P/S of 8.5 relative to S&P500 of about 3
Thesis:
Seems to be trading in range since surge in 1/2 half of 2020, now at the bottom of range in the last year.
RSI-W at very attractive levels.
Trading between 100WMA and 200WMA and have never gone below 200WMA after recession of 2008.
Seems like a good play.
$FB needs to hold this level! (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
A confluence of supports (2013, 2014, support level from 2018) hopefully will create a support zone that allows the stork price to move up again.
RSI-W at oversold (and historical bounce) level.
P/S ratio is at historically low while margins and growth still seem pretty strong.
Main risk... history does not capture 2008 recession.
VALUE put in double bottom! (4/5)Conviction: 4/5
Value looks ripe for long-term out-performance against Growth stocks (Russell 1000 Value vs Russell 1000 Growth)
Just put in double bottom, similar to what happened in 2000 peak.
HOWEVER, this is bad for general markets, as most of the out-performance that happened last time in 2000 was due to Value GOING DOWN LESS than Growth...
RISKS, the level of double bottom does not seem to correspond to any established support level... so could always go down, perhaps wait until breakout of downtrend to go all in?????
Also, data set is relatively short for Value/Growth relationships, it is known that these relative performances can play out over decades (as you see from Growth out-performance since 2006 ish)... so we only have MAYBE 1 full cycle...
$PYPL potential bottom (3/5)Conviction: 3/5
Thesis
Reached trend support (2016)
RSI-D showing potential bullish divergence...
Touched 0.786 retracement too, confluence could be powerful
P/S is high on absolute scale (S&P 500 P/S is about 3), but nearing lows of Feb 2020
Risks
Short history, does not contain last major recession in 2008
RSI-W super low (18) but in historically uncharted territory...
