by Don Vialoux, Timing the Market
Technical action plus concerns about an
escalating conflict in Ukraine contributed to weakness in
equity markets yesterday.
· The S&P 500 Index closed below 1,921, a long term
uptrend. The Index also completed a bearish rising wedge
pattern
· The VIX Index spiked again. âTis the season!
· Percent of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 50 day
moving average reached a new low. Percent already is
intermediate oversold, but has yet to show signs of bottoming.
· European equity markets led world equity markets on the
downside. The Russian ETF already is down more than 14% from
its recent high.
Natural gas is showing early signs of bottoming prior to start
of its period of seasonal strength at the end of August.
Hurricane season is approaching, a frequent trigger for higher
natural gas prices. Itâs too early to make the call, but a
potential seasonal trade should be put on the radar screen.
Current technical positives include:
· A move above a three week trading range
· Short term momentum indicators (Stochastics, RSI, MACD) that
have bottomed and starting to roll up.
· Trades just below its 20 day moving average
· Strength relative to the S&P 500 Index has changed from
negative to at least neutral
Spot Uranium Prices
Early signs that they have bottomed! They reached a four month
high when officially reported yesterday. Uranium stock prices
also have bottomed and have started to outperform the S&P
500 Index
