Oct 24th-28th.Big Tech Earnings Week.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Stepped away from the markets on Friday as I went to Ensenada Mexico to celebrate my grandfathers 90th birthday. Dude is still going strong and showing no signs of stopping! Always important to spend time with your family, be present in the moment and not always think about the markets. Now, let's get into it.
Interesting week last week as we finished Friday with a big green day. Which took many by surprise, especially after Thursday's candle, signaling a more bearish week. But if you sit back and take a look at the bigger picture, we've been in this zone for a few weeks now playing this tug of war game between the June lows and 3800. So, this is still a corrective phase that we're in and I don't think this is THE bottom. Remember that in Bear Rally's, sharp rebounds are to be expected. We're at the 20 EMA still and could continue to go touch the 50 EMA which would put us at 3800ish, 3850ish and still be considered a Bear Rally.
With higher pivot lows forming, interest rates still rising with the 2 YR @ 4.6% and an inverted yield curve and a Fed with now intentions on pivoting. You gotta ask yourself: "Do we continue higher with all these head winds?". Many of these "earnings beat" headlines were already on reduced guidance.
Corrections can happen two ways. With time, and with Price. Since about September 23rd, we've been correcting with TIME. And now looking for a corrective phase in PRICE with the move we saw on October 23rd and Friday's move.
Now if we take a look at the VIX, you would think with all this volatility, it would be more aggressive but the VIX is a forward looking. It implies what is to be expected. And expectations came down last week but not significantly.
Here's something to consider. Refresh and then Reinitiate. Sometimes when the market gets confusing, it's best to sit back and be patient for the right entry. Cash IS a position. Nothing wrong with waiting for a clearer picture. Look what happened back in May and June. There was hope in the market as it jumped up between the 20 EMA and 50 EMA before it continued lower. So, similar thing could be playing out here again. Let the hope phase fizzle out and reinitiate your execution.
This week we have AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, MSFT announcing earnings and these guys are heavily weighted in the S&P, so important to pay attention to market activity. I am still bearish but not as bearish until I see what happens this week. Mange risk accordingly, position size, stay disciplined and patient. Happy Trading everyone!
