Irish Luck wouldn’t Hurt
Although the indexes remain at or near the highs, things feel wobbly. Yesterday saw cyclicals / value / IWM give up some nice gains and under perform. Yields feel like the want to go higher and if that plays out, tech should again remain in the crosshairs….especially bubble stocks which can be played as a basket thru the ARK family of funds. ARKK / ARKF / ARKG / ARKW / ARKQ. Lets watch how equities and bonds react to JPOW this afternoon
Discussion Topics
- Important 10 yr TIPs auction at 1pm followed by the FOMC at 2pm and JPOW presser at 2.30pm are potentialy big catalysts in bond / equity markets
- Technically, TLT is in the edge of nothingness. Below $136 and technical support all but disappears and would open a path for a rate spike. That said being short TLT is a crowded trade. JPOW comments potentially could cause a short covering rally.
- Longer term I think rates go higher; TLT lower.
- I am short TLT but I never like sitting in a crowded trade.
- IWM technically is holding it together but not by much. THe key technical levels are detailed in the video. If you’re loaded with cyclical / value names, consider hedging out your long risk in these names w/ IWM puts if / when the key levels break. That will mitigate pain thru any minor correction. Time frame is everything.
- QQQ – premarket is feeling the heat as rates rise. Key off the technical levels shown on the charts and expect added vol centered on rates.
- FOMC – Remember the rule of thumb. The first knee-jerk move off of the FOMC announcement is usually FAKE
- Have some patience or simply step aside during the post -FOMC noise. It may take even a day or two for the true path of equities to emerge. You wont be able to make money if you’re turned into a waffle 15 min after the announcement. They’ll be plenty of time to participate in the emerging trends.
Order Flow Insights
Order flow trends flagged $FB / $FUBO / $SNOW as unusual bullish buys. Note the PUT flow in IWM which is cautionary.
