This week we’re looking at a long setup in the Metal sector. There are a handful of sectors that are outperforming the market as Nifty 50 continues to move sideways, and Metal has been a consistent name there.
[Read more…][PLUS] Weekly Momentum Report & Takeaways
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Check out this week’s Momentum Report, our weekly summation of all the major indexes at a Macro, International, Sector, and Industry Group level.
By analyzing the short-term data in these reports, we get a more tactical view of the current state of markets. This information then helps us put near-term developments into the context of the big picture and provides insights regarding the structural trends at play.
Let’s jump right into it with some of the major takeaways from this week’s report:

Another BRIC In The Wall For International Equities
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @IanCulley
One major theme that we’re watching closely right now are the growing number of risk assets at or near critical levels or key former highs.
We continue to see a variety of world stock market indexes approach crucial inflection points. As the list keeps getting longer, our cautionary view of the potential for further choppiness in many markets gets stronger.
Where prices resolve from here in major indexes like the MSCI Emerging Markets, EAFE — and even some major domestic indexes such as the Russell 2000, are about to provide us with some big-time information into the health of global equities and risk-assets in general.
Today, we’re going to look at one of these diversified international indexes that finds itself in this same boat as it approaches its pre-financial crisis record highs.
Was That It For Growth?
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
We’ve covered the Growth vs Value relationship ad nauseam since late last year.
We continue to believe that a structural trend reversal in favor of Value is underway.
We laid out our thesis and the key level we’re watching to potentially prove it wrong… That is and has been 1.70 in the Russell Large Cap Growth vs Value ratio.
The Outperformers
We debuted a new scan recently- The Outperformers.
The Outperformers is our newest scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. It’s the fastest, easiest way to find quality names that are primed for major moves.
2 To 100 Club (04-28-2021)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.
Something we’ve been working on internally this year is using various bottoms-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. One way we’re doing this is by identifying stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small, to mid, to large, and ultimately to mega-cap status (over $200B).
Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B) they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.
But the scan doesn’t just end there. We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.
Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, and Salesforce, to a myriad of others… all would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.
When you look at the stocks in our table you will notice we are only focused on technology and growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online Retail, Solar, etc
Then like any good technician, we filter the list down to those that are closest to new 52-week highs. This allows the cream of these strongest groups to rise to the top and helps streamline our mission to identify technical breakouts in the top-performing stocks.
Bearish or Bullish: Is This Time Different?
On this week’s episode of Bearish or Bullish, we talk about Year 2 of Bull Market cycles for stocks. Is this one those? Like 1976, like 1983, like 2004, like 2010?
What about Ethereum continuing to hold its breakout? Why is Ether doing so much better than Bitcoin?
Financials and European stocks breaking out of historic bases?
European Super Leagues? The Knicks don’t suck?….what the heck is going on around here?

RPP Report: Review. Preview. Profit. (04-26-2021)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @sstrazza
At the beginning of each week, we publish performance tables for a variety of different asset classes and categories along with commentary on each.
Looking at the past helps put the future into context. In this post, we review the absolute and relative trends at play and preview some of the things we’re watching to profit in the weeks and months ahead.
The weight of the evidence still suggests it’s prudent to be a buyer, not a seller, of risk assets for more meaningful time horizons.
Shorter-term, the market looks increasingly messy. For the first time in over a year, defensive assets are beginning to stabilize at logical levels of support, while stocks and major risk groups achieve our upside targets. Even a handful of some key Intermarket ratios are potentially diverging from the broader averages.
The macro backdrop definitely leans that this is just a sideways consolidation in an ongoing uptrend.
Let’s not forget that the S&P 500 has just recorded its greatest 52-week gain since the late 1940s, so some digestion is perfectly healthy and deserved!
