SentimenTrader Minutes Digest for Dec 01 2020 covering: Leveraged long ETFs hit record; Gapping up to start the month; 5 in a row and a new low; Emerging market vol spike; Gold and the dollar sink together; Minor uptrends in miners; The next week in seasonality

Leveraged long ETFs hit record

  • Published:
    2020-12-01 12:41:26
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

The Journal published an article recently showing the surge in asset tied to leveraged ETFs as (presumably) new traders scramble to get the most band for their buck.

Seems clear that much of that is tied to leveraged long ETFs. Assets in the ones we track just hit a record high.

They just passed the peak from early September. Notably, though, assets in leveraged inverse (short) ETFs were $5.5 billion then, as opposed to "only" $4.9 billion now. Maybe a mild warning of complacency.


Gapping up to start the month

  • Published:
    2020-12-01 07:57:19
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

The most important ETF in the world is on track to gap up strongly to start a new month. That has mostly been a decent sign shorter-term, with SPY continuing to gain over the next 2-3 days in particular.

It was much rarer to see this at a 52-week high, which preceded a relatively poor risk/reward ratio over the next month, but by 3 months later, all of them showed gains.


5 in a row and a new low

  • Published:
    2020-11-30 13:35:35
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

GLD hasn't been able to fully come back from some morning weakness and is threatening to be down 5 days in a row, sitting at a 100-day low. That's only happened a handful of times in its history, with mostly weakness over the next 20-90 days before bottoming. The squiggly lines in the bottom chart are GLD's price path going forward after each of the previous signals.


Emerging market vol spike

  • Published:
    2020-11-30 11:49:54
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

Out of all the volatility measures I watch, the one with the biggest gain today is VXEEM, the one tracking emerging markets. Makes sense, EEM is on the lower end of broad ETFs today.

If we look at EEM's returns following any day when its "fear gauge" spiked 10% but was still relatively low, below 26, then EEM's forward returns were quite poor. Its trough was 72 days later, when it showed a positive return only 43% of the time. A bit of a worry.


Gold and the dollar sink together

  • Published:
    2020-11-30 09:38:36
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

This would be only the 3rd time since 1975 that both gold and the dollar hit 100-day lows on the same day.

Gold is *supposed* to rally when the dollar falls, but other times they dropped together didn't necessarily bode ill for the metal, at least for a while.


Minor uptrends in miners

  • Published:
    2020-11-30 07:50:50
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

Looks like gold is going to get hit again today, which means miners probably will, too. Already, fewer than 3% of them are holding above their 50-day moving averages.

Look at those forward returns, though, when fewer than 3% of them are above their 50-day while GDM (base index for GDX) is below a rising 200-day moving average, reflecting a drop within a general long-term uptrend.


The next week in seasonality

  • Published:
    2020-11-30 06:50:01
  • Author: Jason Goepfert

As we wind down November and head into the final month of the year, it's worth considering that the 1st week of the new month has tended to be a little more friendly to tech and small-caps than the S&P.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
