MARKET SUMMARY
- The feared selling ignites Friday after the ECB sinks in, a Fed dove talks
rate hikes.
- Volume surges, breadth is massively negative, but new lows are light, VIX
has a long way to go. Hard to bottom right after you put in a top.
- Have to respect that kind of selling and shift focus. Upside becomes
selling opportunity.
Perhaps a delayed reaction to Mario Draghi and the ECB failing to discuss
equity purchases, perhaps a reaction to a purported dove Fed voting member
(Rosengren) arguing that rate hikes are needed to prevent economic damage.
With talk of two hikes this year by some esteemed Fed members, that
certainly means September is on the menu. Perhaps those comments on top of
a less than great economy were more than investors could bear.
Whatever the ultimate reason the market went ahead and broke lower. A hard
break lower. SP500, DJ30, SP400 all crashed through their 50 day MA's while
SOX, NASDAQ and RUTX dove to close at their 50 day MA's.
SP500 -53.49, -2.45%
NASDAQ -133.57, -2.54%
DJ30 -394.46, -2.13%
SP400 -2.92%
RUTX -3.11%
SOX -3.66%
VOLUME: NYSE +31%, NASDAQ +18%. Both exchanges sold on impressive jumps in
volume coming in well above average. Low volume advances can get dropped
like bags of dirt when the sellers show up.
A/D: NYSE -17:1. NASDAQ -6:1. One downside session and the downside
breadth is at an extreme level. -6:1 is extreme, -10:1 is typically market
turning. -17:1 is so bad it is almost meaningless, like getting blown out
in a basketball game by 50 points. Just forget about it and go on to the
next one. By itself the massively negative breadth doesn't mean a whole
lot. Just coming off new highs none of the other indicators are nearly that
extreme.
VIX: +40%, but even that move took it just to 17.50.
New lows: Barely moving thus far given the indices at or near highs.
As you can see, the indicators are a mixed bag with some massively negative,
others not. Until they all line up together they mean little individually.
Not a lot of magic or mystery to this move. The market was still producing
up and coming leadership as noted last weekend, leadership turning the
corner after long downtrends. Many of those are actually still in good
shape even after Friday.
The gutting occurred in the big names and in the stocks that have already
enjoyed the biggest runs. GOOG, AMZN, AAPL, MMM, UTX, HD, NVDA -- stocks
that hit or nearly hit new highs getting turned over.
The question is going to be how far they fall, whether this is the start of
the feared plunge or just a violent shakeout in an otherwise continuing move
higher.
Given the virulence of the decline, even if it was on a Friday and a lot of
strange moves occur on Fridays, you have to give the move its due. For us
that means not assuming it is just a drop in a trend higher but the start of
some selling whose end is uncertain. The breaks were violent enough to put
the uptrends in question.
Thus we closed many positions that were not holding their trends. More than
a few held and we let them work; after Friday bombs if the move was just an
overreaction you can get a rebound early week to at least get a better exit
point. Outside of that, we don't want to count on Friday being a one-off
event. The strength of the drop has to be respected.
We were fortunate enough to get to take some gain, banking a nice profit on
STX as it jumped early, taking some solid downside gain on the AVGO
position. Wish we had taken more from other positions earlier in the week
but the trend was working well. Closed many positions with trailing stops
and managed to open some downside positions.
So we manage the remaining upside to see if they continue their trends and
patterns, if not we see if we can get good exit points. Any bounce that
fails is a better exit point and also a better entry point for downside
positions.
Again, with the force of the selling you have to respect the downside. We
were already somewhat defensive in that we were not letting upside plays
stray far before we closed them and we were moving into some downside
positions. Wish we had done more as noted above, but the shift was underway.
For now we are looking for downside opportunity and limiting damage
regarding upside positions.
THE MARKET
CHARTS
Sharp breaks through near support with 2+% to 3+% losses on the indices.
The NYSE large caps and midcaps blew up the 50 day MA's, the small caps,
NASDAQ and SOX fell to those levels.
SP500: Gave up its 50 day MA's early session, gave up the July/September
trading range, gave up the 2015 prior all-time high. Just over some support
at 2120-2100, but with this kind of drop it is more of seeing where it
finally shows some support.
DJ30: Diving below the 2 month trading range and giving up the 2015 prior
all-time high, already at the mid-April high.
SP400: Gapped lower, broke the 50 day MA's, undercut the late July low,
landing on the early June high. Nice uptrend flipped in a session.
NASDAQ: NASDAQ gapped upside to start August on its way to higher highs.
After hitting a higher high Wednesday, Friday NASDAQ gapped lower and sold
through the early August upside gap. As with the other large cap indices,
NASDAQ broke below its new high range all in one move. Closed just below
the 50 day MA's. A little better positioning than the other large cap
indices, but no less virulent a selloff.
RUTX: From a higher recovery high to right back to where the move of the
last 5 weeks started from. That puts RUTX at the 50 day EMA that are
coincident with the bottom of the summer 2015 range that holds RUTX'
all-time high.
SOX: Gapped through the 20 day EMA and sold to just above the 50 day EMA.
Of all the indices, a more 'normal' looking drop to a key support level.
LEADERSHIP
Big Names: FB folded off of the strong move through Wednesday. AAPL, already
heading lower, broke the 50 day MA's. AMZN gapped and sold to the late
August lows, still holding over the 50 day MA's. NFLX fell hard away from
the 200 day SMA test. GOOG gapped and sold to the 50 day EMA. Not good.
Chips: Not all carnage. MRVL sold to the 20 day EMA, recovering to hold
it. MU is holding the 10 day EMA. Others are not as well off. AMD undercut
the 50 day MA's. XLNX is selling back toward the 50 day from its high.
Ditto SLAB. AVGO dove below the 50 day MA's, landing us a nice gain.
Financial: Even as interest rates jumped higher the financials struggled,
victims of the strong overall market decline. C gapped and faded but still
holds over the 20 day EMA. JPM is testing its 20 day EMA. GS surged then
reversed to the 10 day EMA. Struggled but fared better than most.
Oil: Oil gave back part of its big Thursday move, but held well enough.
CWEI did the same. APC gave back just a bit while APA put in a gain. AXAS
is testing a great move higher. WMB lost just a bit of ground. Others are
not so pretty, e.g. PTEN.
Industrial equipment: Started breaking down. CAT, TEX were fine but put in
strong breaks lower. CMI tested and is heading lower.

SENTIMENT INDICATORS
VIX: 17.5; +17.5. VIX jumps 40% but is still only at 17. 30 starts getting
interesting, 40+ is more important when considering a recovery.
VXN: 17.96; +17.96
VXO: 17.36; +17.36
Put/Call Ratio (CBOE): 1.18; +1.18
Six 1.0+ Readings in 3 weeks. Likely still several more of these to come.
Bulls and Bears: Bulls are backing off nicely without hitting near 60 and
bears are climbing. Not bad action for the rally to continue.
Bulls: 52.5 versus 55.9
Bears: 22.8 versus 20.6
Theory: When everyone is bullish and has put all their capital to work,
where does the ammunition to drive the market come from? There is always
new money to start a new year. After that is used will more money be
coming? That is the question.

1.10806
USD/JPY: 102.685 versus 102.439. After a massive Tuesday drop, the dollar
recovered lost ground back up to the 50 day MA's, but that still keeps it in
the downtrend channel.
Historical: 102.439 versus 102.439 versus 101.698 versus 101.412 versus
103.92 versus 103.226 versus 103.269 versus 102.965 versus 102.160 versus

104.679 versus 105.98 versus 104.731 versus 105.76 versus 106.05
Oil: 45.99, -1.74. Big recovery Tuesday through Thursday. Friday oil
tested that move, coming back to close just over the 50 day SMA.
Gold: 1334.90, -7.10. Big move through Tuesday then fading much of that
move Wednesday to Friday. Hanging in at some support . . . for now. If the
Fed hikes and if the ECB does not expand its QE, gold loses some of its
support.
MONDAY
As noted in the Market Overview, you have to respect the power of the
downside. Even if there is a reflex bounce early next week it has to show
it can hold in the face of that selling.
For now we are using a bounce to let upside plays holding their trends
continue working, hopefully to take some gain. Others that are more
problematic we use a bounce to close.
For new positions, of course we will look at some upside as there are some
still very good patterns and on the circumstance the market shakes off this
downside day and continues back to trending higher. Downside of course is
very important, but we would prefer a rebound to set up better entry points
versus where the closed Friday. Some are not oversold and can be entered
on further selling, but overall, a little bounce is a better setup to enter.
Watching leadership groups offers clues, e.g. chips, financial, oil, Chinese
stocks. A market has to have leadership to move higher, and if more of the
leadership groups reverse trends or break patterns then the upside's chance
of reasserting itself diminish.
Again, you have to respect the sharp selling, and use the moves next week to
set up for the next move.
Have a great weekend!
