Momentum Crushed
THe Selling intensified for the bubble / momentum portion of the market. Emblematic of this sector of the Market is the ARK family of ETFs which focus on disruptive technologies / companies. THese companies have super high valuations but very little earnings and cash flow to support valuation. I review all the ARK ETFs in the video. In general, all have either lost their 200ema’s or are challenging it now. THe question now is if the sell off in these names infects sentiment and broadens out to bigger and more profitable names.
One thing that concerned me yesterday was the reversal / fade in commodities, Financials, and energy. THese have been strong sectors. While one day does not make a trend, watch these sectors closely. If they start falling apart, it will be a sign the sell off is widening.
Watch Semis. They’ve been breaking down and are a good gauge of risk sentiment. Watch for more intense selling and / or stabilization for clues that the selling is abating.
