Extreme readings on breadth


In 19 days the market has witnessed heavy buying. As a result most stocks have gone up in last 19 days. The secondary indicators on Stockbee Market Monitor are at extreme level. Such extreme readings indicate probability of pullback/consolidation in next 4 to 5 days.

However individual stocks will continue to breakout and most likely we will see money rotating in to stocks near 52 week high.

DECK (Deckers Outdoor Corp) is an example of kind of breakout that are happening near high.

18 day rally continues


This rally started after breadth went to extreme level 20 days ago. Extreme negative breadth often leads to explosive rally and this rally has proved to be like that. Breadth has steadily improved during the rally and there has been series of breadth thrusts.

The rally has been fueled by beaten down stocks. If you look at the top 30 stocks by price % change in last 18 days you will see most of those stocks started their rally from 52 week low.


VIT (Vanceinfo  Technologies Inc.) is typical of the kind of moves in this rally. Stock was in decline for months and then in last 18 days is up 213%.


Before that stock was in multi month decline ...


The bottom bounces have been really strong and as a result of these bottom rallies 522 stocks are up 25% plus in a month.

What next. Some of these rallies will fade. Some will go sideways or pullback and set themselves up for further upside. Watch the top 300 stocks that have gone up the most in last 18 days. They will offer further upside potential in coming weeks or days.

If the rally continues then at some stage stocks near 52 week high also need to start participating in it. So keep an eye on top 100 stocks by Trend Intensity. Bottom fueled rallies can only last for few weeks ultimately money will rotate in to high relative strength stocks. Some high relative strength stocks near 52 week high were breaking out yesterday and they might take on the leadership.

Trouble in tech land


The Nasddaq 100 stocks were the early leaders of this rally. But in recent days things don't look too good for them.

Look at AAPL, AMZN, GMCR, BRCM, DELL, AMGN, SIAL, EBAY, WYNN and so on....

Market might rotate in to something new.....

Many of these stocks are potential market leaders and will likely have further gains post a pullback/ correction. Unless we get sudden big breadth deterioration the rally has legs....

Rally leaders

This rally is 13 days old and it is time to look at which stocks have gone up the most in last 13 days. In Telechart it is easy to create a PCF to find this.


Buying oversold stocks and picking bottoms has been the best strategy so far in this rally. Stocks near 52 weak high have not been the leaders. Stocks near 52 week low are leading the advance.

Five of the best performing stocks in last 13 days are CPX, JKS, LIZ, IO, ASIA. They are up between 84% to 62% in last 13 days.

Fading leadership is the overarching theme


Situational awareness (SA)

SA is a aviation term. All pilots are extensively trained in SA on ongoing basis. SA helps pilot to be in control of their situation all the time. 
For a pilot, situation awareness means having a mental picture of the location, flight conditions and intentions your aircraft within an area in relation to each other and to other factors that could be about to affect its safety such as proximate terrain, obstructions, airspace reservations and weather systems.
Same way good trading requires SA. We should factor in the environment we are in and continuously try and study the situation. Markets are dynamic and situation changes everyday.
Fading leadership is the overarching theme currently.
The stocks that lead the advance are breaking down or pulling back hard. That should make you cautious on bullish side.
The action in many leaders of rally does not look like garden variety pullback but breakdowns.
Implication is rally might have run out of gas. Unless we see new leadership I will be cautious on bullish side. There are some good short setups showing up currently. 

10/19/2011

11 day rally continues


Situational awareness

Situational awareness is:
The perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space,
The comprehension of their meaning and
The projection of their status in the near future.
It is a widely used aviation term. Pilots are trained in SA to avoid accidents.
Same way on day to day basis you need SA to be in tune with market moves. You should understand the context of any move.
Currently we have had a roaring 11 day bounce after MM reached extreme readings. Often such rallies herald start of new bull moves lasting months.


As of now however rally has some unique characters that make it not a typical bull market rally. Most stocks are bouncing from bottom. There are very few classic leadership kind stocks and setup. Which has many people believing it is a bear market rally.
On immediate basis we are extremely overbought and most stocks have V shaped bounces or rallies. A 2 to 3 weeks sideways moves or pullback on these stocks will create actionable swing setups.
One of the reason for worry is low number of EP showing up currently. It is too low a number for typical start of bull move.
The number of stocks up 25% in a month is pretty low at this stage compared to typical bottoms.
Implication you have to be cautiously bullish and play for smaller moves and keep losses small.

Market breadth pattern analysis

One of the Stockbee member has developed a comprehensive method for analyzing market breadth using a concept similar to Stockbee Market Monitor.

Read his guide here.

Rally hits turbulence


After nine days of big rally from bottom, some sort of correction is natural . As long as the pullback remains shallow, there might still be more upside for the rally attempt.

It seems a bit too obvious bearish setup. Everyone is skeptical of the rally. Investors Intelligence survey bearish readings are at record high. Everyone is itching to short. Obvious things often don't work in the market. We will see how the move progresses.

I would still be buyer of good bullish setups and put out few shorts if good setup shows up. Currently long STAA, LNKD, AAPL.

Myrtle Beach

Will be back on Monday. Attending the Mark Minervini seminar.

A pause may not kill the rally attempt


Market is up in 6 of the last 7 days. After such big advance a pause or pullback will not be out of character. If the correction happens on low breadth it will not matter. If we get big breadth to downside then it will be cause for concern. We used the gap up open and strength yesterday to sell and book profit on many open positions.

If you forget about the indexes and look at individual setups, you would find lot of good breakouts. Momentum stocks are showing good breakouts currently. In periods like these using short term momentum calculation periods is better as it can capture new trends faster. A faster Stockbee Trend Intensity of 20 days is preferable to standard 65 days Trend Intensity.

 Another way you can look for momentum is by using anchored low. For example currently this rally is 7 trading days old. If you use that period to calculate momentum using the lowest price of the stock in last seven days, you can find stocks with above average momentum in last 7 days. Both the above approaches can be done very easily in Telechart using simple PCF.

Two of the better looking setups in breakout yesterday were LNKD and STAA.

LNKD

STAA

both the stocks breakouts I highlighted yesterday during the day on Stocktwits stream.  As long as good buy setups like these continue to show in momentum scans I am a buyer. If market bounce fails then will look for short setups.

Long: LNKD, STAA and couple of other positions.
