Three Charts Point To Higher Commodity Prices

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

In late August we started to see some signs of a potential bottom forming in Commodities as they approached long-term support with momentum diverging and in October we finally got a breakout.

Today that breakout in the Thomson Reuters CRB Commodity Continuous Index remains intact and the trend in Commodities as an asset class has shifted from one we want to be selling rips to one that we’re buying dips.

From an intermarket perspective, there are a lot of signals we’ve discussed that support higher Commodity prices such as the AUD/USD and CAD/USD breakouts, and today I want to share three more data points that have shown up in the last few weeks.

Sector Rotation’s Next Benefactor – Information Technology?

by

The Large-Cap indices continue to churn near the highs as Mid and Small-Cap stocks play catchup. Sector leadership remains clear, but we’re now beginning to see signs that a former leader turned laggards may start heating up again.

Earlier this week we looked Consumer Goods before they broke out and Technology looks to be showing similar signs of buying pressure.

Let’s take a look.

If You Gotta Be Short…Short These Global ETFs

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

Thank you to everyone who responded to this week’s mystery chart.

A lot of mixed responses on this depending on their timeframe. Some were shorting the failed move and seeing how it developed, while others were patiently waiting for another breakout attempt to get long.

With that as our backdrop, let’s take a look at this week’s chart.  [Read more…]

Mystery Chart (01-14-2020)

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

New Mystery Chart!

For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and remove the x/y-axes and any other labels that would help identify it. The chart can be any security in any asset class on any timeframe on an absolute or relative basis. Maybe it’s a custom index or inverted, who knows!

We do all this to put aside the biases we have associated with this specific security/the market and come to a conclusion based solely on price.

You can guess what it is if you must, but the real value comes from sharing what you would do right now. Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?

[Chart(s) Of The Week] Brokering & Dealing Their Way To New Highs

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

This week’s talk of the town is how Financials, particularly Regional Banks, are rolling over relative to the rest of the market at a faster rate than the Yield Curve is rolling over.

While that’s certainly something worth noting, Financials as a group don’t really become that interesting until they break out to new all-time highs.

The XLF is close, but not there yet.

Instead, I think the focus should be on the Broker-Dealers & Exchanges ETF (IAI) as it presses up against all-time highs of its own.

Let’s take a look at what’s happening.

Nifty PSU Banks Remain Broken

by

In an environment where we want to be buying stocks, we primarily want to focus on areas of relative strength. With that being said, we also want to be aware of those areas showing relative weakness so that we can avoid them on the long side and short them when the environment is more conducive to shorts.

One clear area of weakness remains Nifty PSU Banks, so let’s take a closer look at what’s going on.

POT-ential Trade Setups In The Marijuana Space

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

The dash to trash is a big theme in the first two weeks of 2020, with names like Beyond Meat (BYND) and other beaten-down IPOs from the last year catching a bid and working their way higher.

We’ve been focusing a lot on the Marijuana sector over the last month because the ETF and many individual names are at levels where it would be logical for a reversal higher to begin.

Today we want to reiterate that potential and highlight two of the largest stocks in the space that are both liquid and offering a skewed reward/risk at current levels.
