SYS Daily Report – Weekend Edition

Stocks Stumble Amid Inflation Jitters

Stocks stumbled on Friday, capping another week of losses, as hotter-than-expected inflation data jolted markets. Concurrently, the weekly PPO momentum indicator hinted at a potential short-term peak. Adding to the turbulence was the occurrence of “triple witching,” a quarterly event where derivative contracts tied to index options, index futures, and single-stock options expire simultaneously, often triggering increased volatility. Historically, this period tends to coincide with market pullbacks, raising questions about the depth of the impending correction.

Navigating this uncertainty requires a keen eye rather than bold predictions. The ongoing market rally may be encountering a pause initiated by Nvidia’s March 8th downturn, underscoring the importance of profit-taking strategies tailored to individual goals. Scaling out positions, coupled with employing stop-loss measures, becomes crucial as stocks approach extremes.

Nvidia – Daily Chart

Looking ahead, investors brace for continued volatility amidst a trio of significant events in the upcoming week. The Federal Reserve convenes its meeting, culminating in policymakers’ latest projections for Fed rate adjustments. Nvidia’s four-day GTC Conference kicks off, promising revelations about a new AI chip and other AI-related announcements. Microsoft’s “New Era Of Work” event on March 21st will also showcase AI features and more. Given the potential for a substantial market correction and the impending events, a cautious approach to new investments in the short term is advisable. Nonetheless, staying vigilant and maintaining updated watchlists remain essential to navigate potential market shifts.

On Friday, the S&P 500 declined by 0.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite dropped by 0.5% and 1%, respectively. All three indices closed the week lower, marking the S&P 500’s first consecutive weekly decline since October. In contrast, the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks saw a modest increase of 0.40%, accompanied by a 1.53% rise in the Cboe Volatility Index, in anticipation of heightened volatility associated with triple witching.

S&P 500 – Daily Chart

Nasdaq – Daily Chart

Dow Jones Industrial Average – Daily Chart

Russell 2000 (ETF) – Daily Chart

In last week’s trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed marginally lower, while the S&P 500 index dipped by 0.1%. The Nasdaq composite experienced a 0.7% decline, slipping below its 21-day moving average and the critical 16,000 level. Market breadth was notably poor, with the small-cap Russell 2000 plummeting by 2.1%. Take note of how the red-light/green-light breadth system is setting up for a potential red-light signal, and observe how the weekly PPO momentum indicator on each chart is starting to roll over.

S&P 500 – Weekly Chart

Nasdaq – Weekly Chart

Dow Jones Industrial Average – Weekly Chart

Russell 2000 (ETF) – Weekly Chart

When examining what worked last week, the weakening breadth is confirmed. Energy stands out as the outlier, consistent with the scanner results observed throughout the week.

What Worked Last Week

Bond yields surged, with the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbing to 4.304%, compared to 4.088% the previous week. Technically, price action is currently positioned below a potential trigger line. A breakout above this level would be considered potentially bearish for stocks, as indicated by many indicators on the indexes.

10-Year US Treasury Yield

On Friday, the dollar reached a more than one-week high following a mixed release of data indicating the stability of the U.S. economy, albeit with some areas of weakness. This suggests that the Federal Reserve may lean towards maintaining higher interest rates for an extended period or reducing the planned number of rate cuts this year. The dollar index, which tracks the U.S. currency against six major peers, registered a weekly gain of 0.4%, marking its most significant increase since mid-January.

US Dollar – Weekly Chart

U.S. crude oil futures surged by 3.3% to $80.58 a barrel last week, sustaining a solid momentum above the 10-week or 50-day moving average. This breakout from our identified pattern confirms the bullish trend, consistent with the scanner results, which have consistently highlighted the XLE and OIH ETFs in our daily setups.

Crude Oil – Weekly Chart

The TSX index extended its winning streak on Friday, marking its fifth consecutive weekly gain. The materials group led the charge, driven by a surge in copper prices to nearly one-year highs. The Toronto Stock Exchange closed up 0.1% at 21,849.15, near its highest level since April 2022. The index posted a 0.5% gain for the week, marking its longest winning streak in 11 months. Notably, there has been a notable rotation into cyclicals this week, buoyed by oil surpassing $80 and the breakout in copper, as previously highlighted by scanner results and emphasized in our daily setups. Resource shares, accounting for roughly 30% of the Toronto market, saw a 1% gain in the materials group, including precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies. This rotation comes as the tech and semiconductor sectors, which have been leading, face pressure following Nvidia’s earnings report.

TSX – Weekly Chart

Copper surged by 2% to reach its highest level since April of last year, propelled by a breakout from the pattern we’ve been monitoring. This uptick coincided with investors deliberating a potential output cut in China, the world’s leading producer of the metal. The scanner results have consistently hinted at this imminent breakout, with the COPX copper miner ETF featuring prominently in the scanner results and daily setups. It’s worth noting that producers often lead the price of the commodity, as evidenced in this instance. Copper stocks have been prominently featured in the Canadian daily setups for several weeks, with SCCO, FCX, and TECK identified in the US daily setups prior to the breakout. Additionally, we shared a copper watchlist featuring relevant tickers earlier in the week. At SetYourStop, our objective is to equip you with the information necessary to make informed decisions. Once the breakout occurs, chart postings typically cease, as it becomes incumbent upon each individual to manage their own trade and define their downside risk, recognizing that everyone may have different objectives.

Copper – Weekly Chart

Gold prices retreated this week, consolidating within what appears to be a potential bull flag continuation pattern. It’s essential to monitor the price action closely as it approaches the 21-exponential day moving average. Confirmation of the bull flag pattern and a continuation of the uptrend above the moving average would be significant developments to watch for.

Gold – Daily Chart

The price of silver remains poised for a potential breakout from the significant consolidation pattern we’ve been monitoring. This week, we highlighted the SLV silver ETF in our daily setups as price action hinted at a potential breakout. Stay vigilant and be prepared to react accordingly as the situation unfolds.

Silver – Weekly Chart

Uranium stocks were notably active in Friday’s scanner results and have been included in today’s daily setups. It’s important to closely watch this trend to see if price action can sustain its upward movement. This is particularly relevant following the recent weekly price action observed in the SMR setup shared last week. Additionally, given the ongoing discussions about the energy shortage affecting the crypto mining sector and the surge in AI, it’s essential to remain attentive to developments in the uranium market. Note the relationship between the price and the 50-day moving average, particularly in the context of the horizontal resistance line drawn in the daily setups. This illustrates how moving averages can accomplish the same task with less effort. A breakout above the 50-day moving average would be interpreted as bullish, indicating a potential continuation of the uptrend.

Uranium Theme – Global X Uranium ETF

Bitcoin’s price action is currently undergoing a pullback, as previously suggested earlier in the week in the Slack Workspace. The pattern observed in BTC’s price resembles that of NVDA. Throughout this period, we’ve been closely monitoring the 20-day moving average or the middle Bollinger band as a key trend level. Yesterday, price action notably bounced off this moving average, underscoring its significance. Additionally, it’s important to take note of the upper band hooking lower. Such a hook in the bands often signals a potential top or short-term top, and conversely, it can indicate a bottom when the lower band curls higher in a similar fashion. Should BTC break below the 20-day moving average, it could suggest a deeper pullback to test the 50-day moving average.

Bitcoin – Daily Chart

Transitioning from the introductory segment of the report to the daily setups section, we heed the wisdom of legendary trader Paul Tudor Jones, who emphasized the relentless pursuit of knowledge in navigating the complexities of the market. As we delve into the daily setups, let us remember Jones’s insight: “The secret to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefatigable and an undying and unquenchable thirst for information and knowledge. Because trading is the ultimate game based on a knowledge of human psychology. The biggest losses come from those periods when you have something the market knows you don’t have.” With this in mind, let’s examine today’s market dynamics and potential opportunities while managing downside risk.
