Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

<ul>
<li>Our global intermediate-term outlook remains bullish on MSCI ACWI (in place since our 5/14/25 Compass). We also remain near-term bullish on MSCI ACWI (since our April 23, 2026 Int’l Compass).</li>
<li>With that said, the market is going through a short-term consolidation; the first clue was that a bullish gap finally got filled at $156-$157.20 on ACWI-US.</li>
<li>We've maintained that pullbacks to the 50-day MA on ACWI-US would be infrequent (~once every 1-2 months), but that they'd be buying opportunities, and that's what we believe is happening.</li>

Our global intermediate-term outlook remains bullish on MSCI ACWI (in place since our 5/14/25 Compass). We also remain near-term bullish on MSCI ACWI (since our April 23, 2026 Int’l Compass).
With that said, the market is going through a short-term consolidation; the first clue was that a bullish gap finally got filled at $156-$157.20 on ACWI-US.
We've maintained that pullbacks to the 50-day MA on ACWI-US would be infrequent (~once every 1-2 months), but that they'd be buying opportunities, and that's what we believe is happening.
