In a departure from early gains, major stock indexes closed lower on Friday. The Nasdaq Composite, flirting with an all-time high, experienced a 1.2% decline, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment. Following suit, the S&P 500 closed nearly 0.7% lower, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average showed relative resilience with a modest 0.2% drop.

The tech sector faced headwinds as the “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks, leaders in this year’s market rally, had a challenging week. Notably, Nvidia witnessed a dramatic 5.6% reversal after reaching new highs earlier in the day, sparking concerns about broader implications for the technology sector and the market at large. Ensure to manage downside risk according to your own personal strategy. It’s crucial to note that Joe Biden recently mentioned the anticipation of lower interest rates before the election, a factor that could potentially influence the market.

Major chipmakers, including Broadcom, Intel, Microchip Technology, and ON Semiconductor, grappled with a challenging week, each experiencing a drop of at least 4%. In contrast, the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH), tracking a basket of semiconductor companies, also dropped 4% on Friday.

When assessing what worked and what didn’t last week, Costco Wholesale emerged as the S&P 500’s worst performer on Friday, tumbling 7.6% after missing quarterly sales estimates. Intel significantly impacted the Dow Jones Industrial Average with a 4.6% decline. Small-cap stocks, measured by the Russell 2000, were less affected, closing down a mere 0.1%. Defensive sectors like utilities, real estate, and energy outperformed, while the technology and consumer discretionary sectors faced challenges.

The collective picture still showcases a resilient market breadth when evaluating the red-light/green-light breadth system alongside sector ETFs and small caps.

Investors are now turning their attention to upcoming events. While initial optimism from the U.S. jobs report waned, focus shifted to critical economic data releases, including the Consumer Price Index on Tuesday, U.S. retail sales on Thursday, and the Empire State Manufacturing survey on Friday. Positive inflation data could impact the case for earlier Fed rate cuts, potentially influencing the market. Additionally, the upcoming week features earnings reports from key tech companies like Adobe, Oracle, and Jabil, offering further insights into the sector’s health.
In the fixed-income arena, the 10-year Treasury yield saw a significant drop of 9 basis points, ending the week at 4.09%, marking its third straight weekly decline. Meanwhile, the two-year Treasury yield, more closely linked to Fed policy, retreated by 5 basis points, settling at 4.48%. Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell emphasized once again this week that there’s no urgency to implement rate cuts. Despite the unchanged stance following the jobs report and economic data, there’s a prevailing sentiment that these indicators may have alleviated concerns about a potential reduction in the frequency of rate cuts by the Fed.
10-Year US Treasury Yield
On Friday, the dollar exhibited modest weakness against major peers and was on track for its weakest weekly performance against the euro this year, marked by a failure at horizontal resistance on the chart. The euro experienced a slight 0.06% decline against the dollar, settling at $1.09425. Earlier in the session, the common currency reached an eight-week high, securing an almost 1% gain. This performance signifies its most significant weekly strength against the greenback since the week ending December 22nd.

The TSX Composite index edged lower on Friday, although it secured its fourth straight weekly gain. Bigger-than-expected gains in both U.S. and Canadian jobs supported the index despite a 0.3% decline on Friday. The energy sector fell 0.7%, influenced by a 1.2% drop in oil prices. Uranium miners, which appeared on the scanner results Thursday, saw declines, with Nexgen Energy Ltd down 8.7% and Cameco Corp down 6.2%.
TSX – Weekly Chart
The Global X Uranium ETF, along with uranium miners, experienced rejection from the underside of the 10-week or 50-day moving average. This occurred after a potential bullish signal was highlighted on Thursday, as mentioned above.

The price action in crude oil concluded the week with a 2.45% decline.

The price of copper showed strength at the beginning of the week, indicating a potential breakout from the monitored pattern. However, on Friday, the resistance line rejected the price as the broader market experienced a downturn. Keep a close watch next week to see if price action can successfully break out.

Gold is hitting all-time highs, yet the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) remains tethered at half its 2011 value despite the surge in gold prices. This stark incongruity is evident in GDX’s 20% slump over the last two years, juxtaposed with the S&P 500’s concurrent 20% ascent. The aggregated market value of gold mining stocks, hovering around $300 billion, is eclipsed by individual corporate behemoths like Home Depot. The undervaluation of gold mining stocks suggests a potential for a substantial mean reversion. It’s crucial to note that this doesn’t constitute a prediction but underscores the prospect of a noteworthy turnaround. Keep a close eye on gold mining stocks.

Silver is coiling tightly near the triangle’s apex, which we’ve monitored for months. With gold hitting new all-time highs, be vigilant for ongoing signs of upward strength in the silver market that may signal potential breakout opportunities.

The price of Bitcoin has reached an all-time high and is persistently trending above its 20-day moving average, as discerned from the Bollinger Bands. In the world of technical analysis, the adage “a trend is your friend until the one time it’s not” serves as a cautionary reminder allowing one to ride a trend until the one time it isn’t.
Bitcoin – Daily Chart
As we transition to the daily setups section, it is crucial to embrace the wisdom shared by trading luminary William Eckhardt: “You have to minimize your losses and try to preserve capital for those very few instances where you can make a lot in a very short period. What you can’t afford to do is throw away your capital on suboptimal trades.” This valuable perspective highlights the importance of risk management and strategic decision-making in navigating the complex world of financial markets. Now, onto the daily setups!
