S&P Breaks Out As Tech, Energy Highs Surge And

This is an abridged version of our Daily Report.

A broken pattern emboldens bulls

The S&P 500 put in consecutive lower highs since the January peak, but broke that to the upside on Thursday.

The initial breakout from a coiled pattern has a high failure rate in the medium-term. Similar breakouts from lower highs led to a positive return six months later less than half the time.

Tech, Energy stocks are recovering

Both the Tech and Energy sectors have seen more than 20% of their members reach a 52-week high in recent days. For Tech, that was a mixed blessing shorter-term, but a good sign long-term, thanks to the mid-90s bull market. Energy stocks had a much harder time maintaining the momentum.

Dow is on track

The Dow has rallied for 6 straight days, while being down more than 7% from its recent peak. Since 1928, that has led to some weakness in the very short-term, with its most consistent strength being 10-20 days later.

Most hated fund

The lowest optimism among the most popular ETFs we track is on VXX, where the Optimism Index has dropped below 10. The fund is terribly constructed for anyone holding more than a day.

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.
