Keep Buying
While there are always concerns, the bear case is thin. Below you’ll see that the relative performance in the defensive sectors of the market are under performing. Also we are in a strong seasonal period with a good chace for a strong positive run into year’s end with a chase for performance by the big boys. Also, the Buy-Back windows have opened so that is a positive as well.
Defensive Sector relative performance is trending down
Defensive portions of the market are locked in relative performance downtrends. If traders were wanting to go toward a RISK OFF look, you’d see a rotation into defensive sectors and you’d see upticks / trend changes in these ratios. We don’t see that at this time. Therefore from this perspective, you want to continue to remain focused on the offensive sectors.
Half of Trading Success
A big part of trading success is knowing sectors to avoid and sectors where you want to lean-in long. As the relative performance charts below illustrate, both large cap and small cap biotechs have been in prolonged relative performance downtrends. Does that mean you cant catch lightning in a bottle with a well timed MRNA trade? Of course it doesnt. You can usually find a winner in a junk group, but those will be rare. Birds of a feather usually flock together.
ARKG – ARK Genomics on the Edge
ARK Genomics, which is focused at the small cap end of the biotech space, peaked out in Jan /Feb 2021 and has been sliding ever since. As you can see, price is at a critical spot. Much below $70 and think this thing fails very quickly. Why? Look at the massive void below price on the Weekly chart. It’s a long way down with very little technical support. Set yourself an alarm somewhere around $70 and be ready to go on the short side.
