In today’s briefing:

  • Nifty Top Zone for a Pullback
  • HSI Index, HSITECH Index, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and China Unicom

Nifty Top Zone for a Pullback

By Thomas Schroeder

  • Nifty’s near linear rise much like drives in January and March that turned on a dime. Once a top was in, the Nifty turned down hard.
  • RSIs are extremely overbought and have formed rising wedges that show risk of a sharp turn lower as in previous cycles.
  • Nifty banks kissed the 39,500-sell resistance and showing relative lead weakness versus the Nifty.

  • The market pivoted late last week from there will be no PBOC rates cut to there being much more Monetary Policy support needed.
  • The pivot was the sharp slowdown in Aggregate Financing, Industrial Production, Real estate, and Retail Sales. All it took was a 10-bps cut in one-year MLF.
  • Meanwhile, Hong Kong saw HIBOR continue to rise even with currency strength.

Meituan Bear Pressure Accelerating

By Thomas Schroeder

  • June 27 call to sell strength in line and showing increasing downside pressure below the 185 support (now resistance).
  • Dual top at 210 induced a turn well under trendline resistance. Break of bear wedge support confirmed the macro sell signal.
  • Below 166 targets 140 where a stall in the decline/bounce is due (resistance near 160-66) but expected to give way for a test on the 110 low zone.

Daily Brief Technical Analysis: SPX Summer Extension and more

By | Daily Briefs, Technical Analysis

In today’s briefing:

  • SPX Summer Extension

SPX Summer Extension

By Thomas Schroeder

  • Our summer risk cycle peak due in early August, shifted right after the SPX clear 4,200 and NDX above trendline resistance. A fresh cycle peak target lies at SPX 4,350.
  • RTY perform over the SPX makes it a top long on the breakout above 1,930 with fresh support at 1,950 and rally PT at 2,050 with risk to 2,080. 
  • SPX 4,170 pivot support is in focus with a call to buy a dip near 4,220 for that final push higher in in August.

Daily Brief Technical Analysis: U.S. Dollar Topping?; Bullish Reversals Continue; Ideas in Growth/Cyclicals and more

  • U.S. Dollar Topping?; Bullish Reversals Continue; Ideas in Growth/Cyclicals, Financials

U.S. Dollar Topping?; Bullish Reversals Continue; Ideas in Growth/Cyclicals, Financials

By Joe Jasper

  • This is now the third Int’l Compass/third week in a row where we are discussing an increasing number of country indexes experiencing bullish 3.5-9-month downtrend reversals.
  • Importantly, all of the previously mentioned indexes are holding above their breakout levels (i.e., there has yet to be any failed breakouts).
  • Now, the U.S. dollar (DXY) is starting to show early signs of topping. We continue to believe that global equities are going through a bottoming process.

HSI Index: Longfor, Alibaba, Ping An, and Tencent

By Untying The Gordian Knot

  • The carnage in China and some Hong Kong real estate and property management companies and financials went largely unnoticed.
  • The five-day decline in Longfor was 18%, Country Garden by 15.50%, Hang Seng Mainland Properties Index fell 6.75%, and HSI Properties Index fell 2.75%.
  • It has had zero impact on the rest of the world (ROW) markets.

Daily Brief Technical Analysis: Tencent New Lows in Sight and more

By | Daily Briefs, Technical Analysis

In today’s briefing:

  • Tencent New Lows in Sight
  • S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 Testing Key Resistance Levels; Pause Likely; Buying Biotech

Tencent New Lows in Sight

By Thomas Schroeder

  • Tencent short from 390 is rewarding and reaching for new chart lows now that the 310 pivot support has given way and leading the likes of BABA.
  • MACD target support is the key input to align with a terminal wave 5 low to set up the macro long entry in September.
  • Undershoot risk to lower channel support with a low due in September and rally hurdles toward year end at 370/390. 420 remains the forward macro barrier to challenge/clear.

S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 Testing Key Resistance Levels; Pause Likely; Buying Biotech

By Joe Jasper

  • The weight of the evidence suggests that the lows for this bear market have likely already been established, but that does not mean it will be smooth sailing from here.
  • The SPX and NDX are both testing important resistance levels (4165-4180 and the YTD downtrend, respectively), making this a logical spot for the indexes to stall and potentially pull back.
  • Ultimately, we would expect to see support near their 50-day MAs as the market goes through a bottoming process. We remain neutral overall.

Daily Brief Technical Analysis: WTI 85 Rally Pivot Will Shift the Inflation Narrative and more

In today’s briefing:

  • WTI 85 Rally Pivot Will Shift the Inflation Narrative

WTI 85 Rally Pivot Will Shift the Inflation Narrative

By Thomas Schroeder

  • WTI bear call from 116 is meeting our 89/85 low zone with a key turn target near 85 that will spur a rally and shift inflation expectations.
  • The touted break down from triangulation is setting up a key low. We did reduce our short at 89 with a plan to close the remaining tranche on weakness.
  • RSI is not confirming new price lows for a case of bull divergence. A macro low is setting up if the 85 support holds and induces a bull turn.

Bullish Reversals Proliferate; Stick With Growth; Buy Ideas in Tech, Discretionary, & Industrials

By Joe Jasper

  • Last week we noted that the bullish reversals had begun, with the MSCI ACWI (ACWI-US), STOXX Europe 50, and SPX the first few to reverse topside their 4-month downtrends.
  • As we discuss below, bullish reversals are proliferating globally, something that continues to support our belief that global equities are bottoming.
  • Global growth Sectors continue to gain momentum and have emerged as leadership — overweight growth. Sectors covered today include Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials — add exposure

By Untying The Gordian Knot

  • The Hong Kong Indices have been much weaker than Taiwan & China due to liquidity and open capital account.
  • It is a canary for global indices and should be analyzed accordingly.
  • There is no change in views of real estate and technology sector stocks mentioned in previous updates on Hang Seng constituents.

Fresh Shorts in Our Early August Peak Risk Window

By Thomas Schroeder

  • In addition to shorting NDX at 13,000+, we saw key reversals in Japan and Taiwan after hitting short entry levels. Germany short is in focus as Europe tops.
  • Japan and Taiwan registered key reversals with NKY 27k and Taiwan 14,600 pivots to break.
  • Early August peak in the risk cycle ahead of a more brutal September period.

S&P 500 Reverses 4-Month Downtrend; Upgrading Consumer Discretionary to Market Weight

By Joe Jasper

  • In last week’s Compass (July 26) we discussed positive signals that we believe suggested the lows for this bear market may have already been established, or that downside is limited.
  • We continue to see more evidence that supports this claim; as a result, we are upgrading our outlook to neutral.
  • The SPX is reversing topside its 4-month downtrend, and the Russell 2000 (IWM), Russell Micro-Caps (IWC), and Russell 2000Growth (IWO) are each reversing topside their 9-month downtrends; the bottom’s in.
