Is The Current Rally A True Valuation Rally or Euphoria?

Our research team has been warning that the US stock market price rally over the past few months has been more of a zombie-land price rally than a true valuation rally.  Our researchers believe the continued push higher has been more about capital seeking safety away from foreign risk and into US Dollar based assets than it has been about anything fundamental or valuation based.  Over the past few days, our researchers identified another rally like this that happened recently and wanted to highlight the eventual outcome of this type of Zombie-Rally. Before you continue, take a couple of seconds and join our free trend signals email list.

Zombie-Rallies happen in the market when there are really no other alternatives but to “keep doing what seems to have been successful over the past few months or years”.  A good example of this is the DOT COM rally that continued to push higher and higher even though investors and traders could clearly see the wheels were coming off the train and companies were not able to achieve profits to measure up to proper valuations.  This is a measure of GREED becoming a driving force behind investor sentiment.  Who’s going to go against the markets when the trend bias is continuing to push higher and the risks of shorting far outweigh the risks associated with following the herd.

Our researchers use our Custom Market Cap index to help us understand where peaks and valleys are likely to form in the markets and, generally, this utility is quite accurate.  It measures the ability of the US stock market to rally, sell-off and rotate very clearly and can be used to measure when the price has reached near extreme levels.  Recently, we authored an article suggesting liquidity and volume would begin to fall over the next few weeks and months that would result in increased volatility headed into the end of 2019.

December 1, 2019: LIQUIDITY & VOLUME DIMINISH – WHAT NEXT?

CUSTOM MARKET CAP INDEX CHART IS CLEARLY IDENTIFYING A MARKET PEAK

Our Custom Market Cap Index chart is clearly identifying a market peak has formed as of the end of

November 2019.  The extreme high peak on this chart on the Thanksgiving holiday week is well above traditional high peak levels and should be considered an extremely high price exuberance peak in the US stock market.  Our expectations were that an immediate price rotation would setup pushing prices much lower over the next few days and weeks.

Historically, once the price reaches these extreme levels, the price typically rotates lower and attempts to target the lower/middle price boundaries drawn by our channel lines.  This would suggest that an 8 to 12% downside price rotation is in our future should this price peak follow previous examples.

Yet, what other evidence could we present to support our expectation that this recent price rally is truly a “zombie-rally”?

TRUE STOCK MARKET VALUATION APPRECIATION INDEX

Our researcher team put together this chart to highlight the true valuation appreciation at various times within the past 6+ years.  When this chart is climbing, valuation levels in the global stock markets are rising in comparison to traditional safe-haven instruments.  When this chart is falling, then valuations are decreasing in comparison to safe-havens and total overall valuation appreciation.  Think of it as a measure of how much conviction is behind the market price activity.  The more traders believe the future appreciation is valid, the more valuations will appreciate and investors will move away from safe-haven investments.  The more concerned traders become about price valuation levels, the more likely they are to begin to hedge into protective, safe-haven, investments and the less confidence they have in the ability of price to appreciate in the future.

This chart highlights a number of key factors…

_First, the true market peak occurred in September/October 2018.  That was the high point on this Global Valuation chart and that was the peak of positive investor sentiment before the US Fed initiated a very deep price rotation.

_Second, the rally from the November 2016 Presidential elections till the January 2018 peak was a true broad-participation rally where global investors really believed in the future price appreciation of the global stock markets.  Thus, we see this Global Market Valuation chart rally much higher after the November 2016 elections.

_ Third, since the peak in October 2018, the global market participants have been much more fearful of the capability of future price advances.  There has been no real price appreciation advance on this chart since the peak in October 2018 and we believe this highlights a very weak foundation in the global markets for this current “zombie” price rally.

If our researcher team is correct, there is a very real potential that a broad market price rotation could test the lower boundaries of this market valuation chart and possibly attempt to push true global market valuations below the February 2018 lows.  This would represent a complete collapse of the global stock market resulting in a -10 to -15% price correction over the next few weeks/months.

Every rotation on the Global Valuation Chart over the past 3+ years can be clearly seen on this SP500 chart.  The January 2018 peak followed by the downward price collapse.  The October 2018 peak followed by the downward price collapse.  Even the June and August 2019 price rotations are clearly evident in the Global Market Valuation chart as downward valuation corrections.

CURRENT US STOCK MARKET PEAK IS NOT SUPPORTED AS A TRUE VALUATION

The current US stock market peak is not supported as a true valuation advance by this data.  Yes, the stock market level is much higher than the peak level in October 2018, but the underlying global market true valuation level is suggesting this is a zombie-land for investors.

The only other time something like this happened was near the end of 2017 when the US stock market continued to climb much higher even though the valuation levels were already weakening.  Although this was a brief period of time, the span from November 2017 till the end of January 2018 resulted in a very similar type of price rally.  Take a look at the “2018” markers on these charts.  You’ll clearly see the Global Valuation chart is showing the valuation level was DECLINING just before the start of 2018 whereas the SP500 chart shows the market price was rallying upward consistently…  Welcome to Zombie-land.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:

If our researchers are correct, this current rally will likely end as we near the end of this year when volume and liquidity diminish.  The rotation lower, on Monday, December 2, was very clearly a downward price rotation away from these extreme peak levels and, potentially, an end to the zombie-land price rally of the past few months.

The end of 2019 and early 2020 could be full of very violent and dramatic price rotations as the true global market valuation levels have yet to rally to meet the US stock market peaks.  This underlying fact suggests that price must fall in order to realign with true valuation levels or the valuation levels must immediately start to rise to meet current price levels.  Our research team believes that price levels will collapse to meet true valuation levels.  There is no indication that any true investor valuation appreciation is taking place at the moment, thus price must fall to fair values based on true investor valuation estimates.

Liquidity & Volume Diminish – What Next?

As the Thanksgiving holiday passes, traders should begin to understand that liquidity and volume in the US and global markets typically begin to diminish over the next 30 to 45+ days.  Typically, between mid-November and early January, trading volumes weaken dramatically as institutional and retail investors move away from the markets in preparation for year-end celebrations and tax planning.

Historically, the month of November is vastly more positive than negative in terms of overall price action.  Over the past 21 years in the NQ, a total of 15 months have resulted in an average of +122.75 pts whereas only 6 months have resulted in an average of -194.83 pts.  This suggests the downside price moves, when they happen, are nearly 40% larger than the average upside price move for November.  So far for 2019, the NQ is +320.25 pts for November 2019.

November Historical Data Results:

===================================================

– Largest Monthly POS : 332.25 NEG -768
– Total Monthly NEG : -1169 across 6 bars – Avg = -194.83
– Total Monthly POS : 1841.25 across 15 bars – Avg = 122.75

——————————————–

– Total Monthly Sum : 672.25 across 21 bars
Analysis for the month = 11

For December, the historical data is split evenly – 10 months show positive results and 10 months show negative results.  The positive average is +129.15 and the negative average is -117.95.  This data suggests that December is historically slightly more positive than negative – but overall, December is a very FLAT month for trading in the NQ.

===================================================

– Largest Monthly POS : 782 NEG -616.25
– Total Monthly NEG : -1179.5 across 10 bars – Avg = -117.95
– Total Monthly POS : 1291.5 across 10 bars – Avg = 129.15

Analysis for the month = 12

===================================================

It is very likely that the recent rally in the US stock markets has reached very near to a price peak headed into the end of 2019.  Our custom Market Cap Index is suggesting the US/Global markets could be setting up for a broader price rotation over the next few weeks and months.

When the Custom Market Cap Index reaches these Extreme Overbought levels, it is very common for the markets to enter a retracement period that will likely result in a downside move in the Custom Market Cap Index towards the middle “Green” area.  The only time we’ve seen any type of extended upside price pressure was in late-2017 when the globe rallied after President Trump was elected expecting a boost in global economic activity.  Still, if you pay attention to the rotation near this period of time, you’ll see that violent price rotation did take place just before the peak in January 2018. Take 8 seconds and enter your email address and join my free trend signals email list.

Our Adaptive Dynamic Learning (ADL) predictive modeling system is also suggesting a downside price rotation for the NQ which further validates our expectations that the US and Global markets have reached levels that are extremely overbought.  We authored a research post titled “Welcome To The Zombie-Land Of Investing” in early November – prior to this melt-up price rally.  You can read that article here: https://www.thetechnicaltraders.com/welcome-to-the-zombie-land-of-investing-part-ii/

We continue to believe the collapsing foreign markets have driven capital and investment into the US stock market and further investment into more mature economic markets as investors flee risks and pricing pressures throughout the world.  Current news continues to support this premise and we believe the global pressures related to economic output and expectations will begin to weigh more heavily in the US stock market – specifically in regards to profitability, debt levels, and future expectations.

Additionally, we believe the continued collapse in Crude Oil is a very strong sign the global economy is contracting faster than anyone really expected and that continued price weakness may result in a price reversion event in the near future.  We authored a number of research articles about these facets of the global markets over the past few months…

Nov 15, 2019: WHEN OIL COLLAPSES BELOW $40 WHAT HAPPENS? PART III

Nov 3, 2019: WARNING: CREDIT DELINQUENCIES TO SKYROCKET IN Q4

Oct 20, 2019: BLACK MONDAY 1987 VS 2019 – PART II

Our ADL predictive modeling system suggested Crude Oil would collapse from levels near $57~58 to levels just below $49 in November 2019.  This prediction was made in early July 2019.  It is amazing how our ADL predictive modeling system can see into the future like this.  Now, all we are waiting for is the further price contraction in Crude Oil to our expected price levels for November.  Once that sets up, then we should see a brief pause in price rotation in December 2019, then further selling in early 2020 reaching near a bottom in February or March 2020.

Demand for Crude Oil is waning dramatically near the end of 2019.  There appears to be some level of chaos throughout much of the world and we believe additional uncertainty related to the US Presidential Elections, Super-Cycle events/expectations, and a mature global market contraction will continue to put demand/pricing pressures on many commodities/global markets.

The one thing we’ve been warning about for almost 14+ months is the incredible opportunity setting up in Precious Metals.

Sept 24, 2019: IS SILVER ABOUT TO BECOME THE SUPER-HERO OF PRECIOUS METALS?

Now is the time to prepare for some of these big rotation expectations over the next 15+ months.  The end of 2019 and almost all of 2020 are certain to be filled with extreme volatility, liquidity issues and more.  If you are a skilled trader and want better insight into what is happening and how to profit from these fantastic setups, take a minute to see how we can provide you with winning trades to stay months ahead of these moves and ride the wave of success!

100% Measured Moves May Signal A Top

One type of Fibonacci price structure we use to attempt to measure price trends and identify potential tops/bottoms is the “100% Measured Move” structure.  This is a price structure where a previous price move is almost perfectly replicated in a subsequent price trend after a brief period of retracement or price correction.  These types of patterns happen all the time in various forms across multitudes of symbols to create very solid trading signals for those that are capable of identifying trends and opportunities using this technique. If you want my daily analysis and trade ideas, be sure to get my updates by joining my free trend signals email list.

The first thing we look for is a strong price trend or the initially confirmed reversal of a price trend.  We find that these trending price ranges and initial “impulse trends” tend to prompt 100% measured moves fairly accurately.  The explosive middle-trend is where one can’t assume any type of Fibonacci 100% measured move will happen.  Those explosive moves in a trend that tend to happen in the middle of a price trend are what we call the “expansion wave” of a trend and will typically be 160% or more the size of the initial impulse trend.

These trade setups we call the “100% measured moves” are naturally occurring price rotations that skilled traders can use to identify strong trade potential setups.  They are more common in rotating markets where a moderate trend bias is in place (for example in the current YM or ES chart).

First, let’s take a look at this YM Weekly Chart to highlight the most recent 100% Measured Move.  The original upside price move between June 2019 and July 2019 resulted in a 2787 point price rally that replicated between August 2019 and November 2019 – after a brief price retracement.  Currently, price is rotating near the peak of this 100% measured price move near 27,875 while attempting to set up a new price trend.

In this ES Weekly example chart, we see a 100% Measured Move that originated in June 2019 and ended in July 2019 – just like on the YM chart.  Although the completion of the 100% measured move didn’t originate until the low that formed before price rallied to take out the previous high near 3029.50.  Remember, the other facets of Fibonacci price theory are also still at play in the markets while these 100% Measured Moves are taking place.  Thus, rotation between a previous price peak and valley (without establishing any new price highs or new price low) are considered “price rotation” – not trending.  The 100% Measured Move that did take place recently did complete a full 100% advancement and is now stalling near the 3040 level peak.

CYCLE AND PRICE PREDICTION SYSTEM

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:

Once these 100% measured moves complete, price usually attempts to stall or wash out a bit before attempting to establish a new price trend.  At this point, given the examples we’ve illustrated, we believe the US market will enter a period of rotation and moderate volatility as these 100% measured moves have completed the upside price advance for now.  Some level of price rotation after these 100% measured moves have completed will potentially allow for another attempt at a future 100% price advance after setting up a new price leg.

These techniques don’t always work, we recently got stopped out on a TVIX (vix/volatility trade for a loss) but we just close out our thirst natural gas trade for a quick 7% profit. The previous UGAZ trade netted 20%, and the one before that was 7.95%.

The Bond Market Is Telling Us Some Weakness Could Be Entering The US Markets

Chris Vermeulen joins me to look at the charts for US markets, bonds, gold, and natural gas. He points out that bonds have rebounded and are showing that some of the smart big money is taking a more defensive position. However gold is lagging the moves in bonds. Also considering where the VIX had dropped to we could finally see a US market correction that could bring some fear back into investors’ minds.

Range-Bound Into The End Of 2019?

Two of our favorite charts for following the US markets are suggesting the markets are range bound headed into the end of 2019.  The news may continue to push the price higher as the overall bias has continued to be to the upside.  Yet, our Fibonacci predictive modeling system is suggesting the current price trend has begun a “scouting party” type of move which may end in a moderate price correction fairly quickly.

IWM RUSSELL 2K STOCK INDEX CHART

Our Adaptive Fibonacci price modeling system is capable of learning from past price activity and attempts to present key price data and trigger levels that are important for future trending.  The GREEN and RED horizontal lines on the right edge of this chart shows where the TRIGGER LEVELS are for the Fibonacci system.  The bullish trigger level (GREEN) is 2.5% above the current price levels.  The bearish trigger level (RED) is nearly 16% below the current price level.  This suggests that price would have to target either of these levels to establish a new price trend, or continue rotating within these levels to setup new minor peaks and valleys in the price – thus creating revised TRIGGER LEVELS. Get my updates by joining my free trend signals email list.

What we find interesting is the current “scouting party” type of rally that is taking place on the right edge of this chart.  This upside price move is above historical resistance (the CYAN LINE) and appears to be an attempt to test the support levels above the $160.50 level.

If the price is successful in establishing support above this level, a new bullish trend may begin.  If not, the price will rotate lower and potentially begin a new bearish price trend.  Remember, the downside Bearish Trigger level is 16% below the current price – so that the downside move could be quite dramatic.

TRANSPORTATION INDEX WEEKLY CHART

This TRAN Weekly chart highlights a similar range-bound price setup where the bullish and bearish Fibonacci TRIGGER LEVELS are well above/below the current price.  The upside Bullish Trigger Level is 4.15% above the current TRAN price level – thus price would have to rally at least 4.5% higher to qualify as a breach of this Bullish Trigger Level and qualify as a potential new bullish trend.  The Bearish Trigger Level is near 18.4% below the current price level – thus the price would have to fall 18.5% from current levels to breach this Bearish Trigger Level and to qualify as a new Bearish Trend.

Where does this leave us headed into the end of 2019?  Our researchers believe the Santa Rally that most traders expect maybe more like a lump of coal in 2019.  We don’t expect any big breakout rally to happen over the next 35+ days and we don’t expect a massive 40% price correction either.  Our Fibonacci price modeling system is suggesting that any rotation within this 20% price range would be considered “absolutely normal” given the ranges that have been set up over the past 2+ years.

Last week we share these charts on the VIX that paint a clear picture of what is likely to unfold in the next week. This current week is one of the strongest months of the year so

Therefore, the downside price move of 6 to 12% would be completely normal.  And the upside move of 2~3% from current levels would be completely normal.  Any price rotation within the GREEN/RED Fibonacci triggers levels would be considered “normal price rotation” given the established price ranges, peaks and valleys.

We’ve been saying for months, 2019 and 2020 are certainly going to be interesting years for traders.  We believe any price rotation or breakout could lead to a wide range of price rotation that may shock skilled technical traders.  At this point, a 22%+ “normal” price range has setup in the markets.  Prices could rotate within this range and “not really go anywhere” in technical terms.

Consumer Discretionary Sector and Corporate Bonds On Verge of Sell-off

I have been warning of a peak in the markets and a continued capital shift in the global economy that continued to push the NASDAQ and DOW towards new all-time highs while the foundations of the global markets continued to weaken.

I authored dozens of research posts regarding this phenomenon over the past 90+ days.  Yet the clearest signs of this event may already be present in these Consumer Discretionary Sector and Corporate Bonds charts.

Consumers drive economic activity and corporate debt is often a measure of sustainable debt function within a functioning economy.  When consumers tighten their belts and exit the economy in some form and Corporate debt is viewed as “more toxic” than “opportunistic” – something has changed in the global economy where a portion of the active consumer engagement of that economy is waning or has already left the building.

One of the biggest reasons economic contractions happen is because consumers exit the marketplace as a form of protectionism.  Much like in 2008-09, when the credit crisis started hitting, many consumers were in shock and simply exited the marketplace completely.  They didn’t buy big-ticket items.  They didn’t go on trips.  They didn’t do much of anything other than try to pay their bills and to protect what they had.  I call this the “toilet paper and toothpaste mode”.  Consumers typically buy only what is needed at times like this and try to save as much as they can. You can get all of my trade ideas if you opt-in to my free trend signals alert list.

CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY SECTOR – DAILY CHART

If the Consumer Discretionary sector breaks below the $118 level and continues lower, it would be a very clear sign that the lower price channel has been broken and that new downward pricing pressures are taking place in the global markets.  The bigger picture is that a breakdown in consumer confidence could take place – much like a self-fulfilling event.  When the consumer market begins to tighten, more fragile consumers (those without extra money to spend) begin to tighten their spending and begin to default on loans/credit cards.

As the event extends, more middle-ground consumers begin to change their tactics and risks become more evident to them.  Each time a consumer sector moves into a protectionist mode, it pushes other areas of the economy into a crisis mode/contraction.  Thus, the self-fulfilling process continues until a bottom is reached.

HIGH YIELD CORPORATE BONDS – DAILY CHART

Corporate Bonds are another measure of economic engagement and debt function.  A breakdown in Corporate Bonds would become a major debt risk factor for the consumer market and for the global stock market.  As Corporate debt falls below the lower trend line level, consumers and lenders may begin to view Corporate Debt as more and riskier.  This creates a type of panic is the consumer sector has already begun to move towards a protectionist mode.

Corporate Debt failures would represent a massive risk factor for the global economy because it would break the overall confidence within the markets and push consumers over the edge in terms of economic activity and engagement.

Remember near the end of 2018 when the market collapsed after the US fed raised rates in early October 2018.  This type of breakdown was the same type of event.  What changed was the US Fed had to alter its longer-term stance in the markets and decrease rates in order for the markets to feel more comfortable.  Now, 12 months later, after the FED has lowered rates three times and softened forward expectations, what would a breakdown in consumer and corporate sectors really do to the markets?  What would the Fed use to counter a price contraction and consumer panic?

Pay very close attention to both of these sectors going forward.  We believe we are very close to the edge of a massive price breakdown event given our research.  If these charts break lower and breakthrough price support, the global markets could contract by at much as 15 to 22% over time – possibly further.

Adaptive Predictive Modeling Suggests Weakness Into 2020

Our Adaptive Dynamic Learning (ADL) predictive modeling system is suggesting the Transportation Index will fall to levels near $10,000 over the next 2 to 3 weeks which would indicate moderate price weakness in the US stock market and the global stock market.

Our ADL predictive modeling system attempts to model future price activity by finding and mapping critical price and technical elements within the historical price action.  In a way, this is like mapping the future by attempting to learn from the past. You can get all of my trade ideas by opting into my free market trend signals newsletter.

WEEKLY TRANSPORTATION INDEX CHART #1

This first Weekly Transportation Index chart highlights the ADL predictive modeling results since the end of July 2019.  Notice the CYAN and YELLOW lines drawn on this chart showing what the ADL predictive modeling system suggested would happen over time.  This Technical ADL pattern consisted of SIX historical reference points and suggests the last three weeks’ price levels have a 63 to 84% probability rate.  This would indicate a fairly strong probability that prices will fall as the ADL predicts.

WEEKLY TRANSPORTATION INDEX CHART #2

This second Weekly Transportation Index chart highlights the ADL predictive modeling results from early September 2019.  The results are quite similar across these two charts.  Although the September results highlight a bit more potential price rotation than the earlier July ADL results.

This September ADL predictive modeling chart suggests the TRAN price will fall dramatically to levels below $10,000, then recover a bit.  After that, the price will continue to settle near the $9,700 to $10,000 level throughout the end of 2019.  This downside price move in the Transportation Index suggests the US and Global markets will experience some extended price weakness over the next 3 to 6+ weeks.

The decline in the Transportation Index suggests an overall weakness in the global economy.  If that translates into true price action in the global markets, we could see a series of lower lows set up in the US Stock Market over the next 4 to 6+ weeks.

General price weakness may become a waning anthem for the global stock market headed into the start of 2020.  Take a look at this NQ (Nasdaq) Weekly ADL chart to see what our predictive modeling system is suggesting will happen over the next 60 to 10+ weeks.

If our ADL predictive modeling system is correct, the NQ will fall to price levels near or below $7,700 over the next 2 to 4+ weeks before attempting to settle near $8000 near the end of 2019.  A couple of days ago I shared an interesting article talking about the VIX ready to rocket higher which is linked to this pending decline. As a word of warning, the price can, and often does, move beyond the ADL predictive levels on extended/volatile price swings.  So be prepared for what may happen as price rotates.

Oil Begins To Move Lower – Will Our Predictions Come True?

Recently, we posted a multi-part research post suggesting a collapse in Crude Oil could be setting up and how we believe this decline in energy prices may lead to a broader market collapse in the near future.  Crude oil fell more than 3% on November 19 in what appears to be a major price reversal.  On November 20, inventory levels and other key economic data will be presented – could the price of oil collapse even further over the next 60+ days?

Here is a link to our most recent multi-part article about Crude Oil from November 13 (just a week ago): https://www.thetechnicaltraders.com/what-happens-to-the-global-economy-if-oil-collapses-below-40-part-i/

OUR ORIGINAL RESEARCH CHART FROM JULY 2019

Our original research post, from July 2019, included this chart showing our Adaptive Dynamic Learning (ADL) price modeling system and where it believed the price of oil would go in the future.  This chart highlights expected price ranges and directions all the way into April 2020 with a low price level near $25 somewhere between February and April 2020.  Is Oil really going to reach a low price near $25 ppb in the near future?

On July 10, 2019, we authored a research article using our ADL predictive modeling for Oil.  At that time, we predicted Oil would fall in August, recover in September and October, then collapse to near $42 (or lower) in November and December.  You can read our followup to this article here.

In order for these predictions to continue to hold true, Crude Oil will have to fall below $47 ppb over the next 30+ days and then consolidate through December and January into a fairly tight price range between $42 and $49.  If this happens as we predicted back in July, then there would be a much higher probability that the February, March and April price targets are valid going forward.

On November 19, Crude oil reversed quite extensively to the downside after weeks of upward price pressure.  We believe this downside price rotation may be setting up a bigger, deeper price move that is aligned with our ADL predictive modeling systems results from July 2019 – eventually targeting the sub $50 price level near the end of November or early December.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:

This potential move in Crude Oil is setting up a potentially great trade for active traders if you know how to profit from falling prices and I even talked about how to trade this move in my member’s only trading newsletter service. Remember, if our ADL research is correct, December and January will see very mild price action in Oil.  The bigger breakdown move happens in late January or early February.

On Monday another commodity gave us another trade and it popped 3.4% in our favor within the first trading session. Big moves in stocks, metals, and energy are ready for big price swings here, get ready!

As a trader, you need to be aware of the greater implications for the global markets if Crude Oil falls below $45 ppb (eventually, possibly falling below $30 ppb).  A large portion of the global market depends on oil prices being relatively stable above $50 ppb.  A decrease in oil prices will place extreme pressures on certain nations to maintain oil production and to generate essential revenues.  Depending on how this plays out in the future, falling oil prices could translate into far greater risks for the global stock markets and global economics.
