SPY Updated

Frankly, the more unwieldy this hyper frenetic market gets, the less inclination I have to do NFTRH+ updates, because the volatility has a funny way of breaking charts (with associated…

NFTRH+; SPY

Per the regular update this morning, the EMA 10 (2056) was noted as key resistance on the S&P 500.  Translating that to a bear trade on the SPY, we find…

NFTRH+; Pairs Trade (KBE & IWM)

In light of the dynamics in play in the interest rate market, one might want to watch a sector that favors rising interest rates (the Banks, given ZIRP at the Fed’s discount window) vs. rising yields out along the curve.  Even though the curve is dropping, if we assume that banks are funded near 0% their lending out across the curve would have a profit motive.

NFTRH+; They Should All Work Like This (INTC)

That way I could apply for my Guru card and that rarefied club might finally accept me! 2 Days ago NFTRH+ made a post on Intel (now public), referencing a…

NFTRH+; Tax Loss/Jan. Effect Examples

Understand that these are just two stocks (without highly liquid volumes) that I am interested in for my own reasons and there is a market full of others out there.  So these are not recommendations but rather, examples of charts that I look for at year end.

OncoMed (OMED) is held in the IRA as a sort of lottery ticket speculation.  I bought it a few weeks ago at just above 19, rode it up and am riding it back down currently.  While I sold several other items on the market bounce, I decided to keep this one because little has changed since it was driven to the 40’s last year by a news release that I considered fundamentally valid (for a very speculative specialty pharma/biotech stock that is).

NFTRH+; L/T Treasury Yield Setup

In a volatile environment perhaps a good way for many people to go (other than the #1 option, cash) is trading the indicators and indexes, a opposed to individual stocks.  In that regard, I think that long-term T bonds are getting over done on the upside (R.I.P. ‘Great Rotation’).

NFTRH+; QQQ Bear Setup Parameters

Today may or may not be the bounce that was expected off of the bearish developments last week.  If so, or in the event such a bounce materializes this week I wanted to put some parameters down on the QQQ.

NFTRH+; Uranium Divergence

Commodities of all kinds have been degrading for months now, as we have noted all along.  At some point there is going to be a counter trend bounce.  A couple weeks ago we noted that the price of u3o8 was going one way (up) and the ETF (URA) the other (down).  That has not changed.
