Rotation to Safety
Take a look at the low-vol ETF. Breaking out from a big consolidation range. Check out other defensive ETFS XLP / XLRE / XLU. XLP and XLRE have clear breakouts working. XLU has an emerging move from a consolidation zone. I continue to think bubble stocks and tech in general is under distribution while money flow has found more defensive names.
QQQ: War at the 50
the Q’s continue to wrestle w/ the 50 as SPY reaches toward the highs. I think Tech and specifically the bubble stocks continue to be in distribution. Detailed in the video are charts of low-vol defensive sectors and stocks that are breaking out. SPLV – low vol ETF XLP / XLRE defensives breaking out. XLU making a move. XLB breaking out. So re-opening trades and defensive are gaining money flows. Also keep in mind a big fund rebalancing is set for March 31. THis could cause some added vol and sector rotation.
Easter is Apr 4. Europe closes Wednesday for an extended holiday. THe NYSE is closed Friday. Expect lower liquidity in the back half of the week.
- Short Week. Markets closed Friday for Easter. Europe shuts down wednesday. Make sure your positions are covered for Friday option expiry.
- Big fund re-balancing into Quarter end on Wed. Mar 31. Could spur vol or big sector rotation.
- QQQ continues to battle the 50ema and its chart looks very different that SPY which is reacting toward the highs.
- There continues to be distribution of the high-valuation tech names and tech in general. I show 4-5 charts showing defensive sectors that are getting bid in this rotation.
- More fall out about last week’s liquidation of a big family office of $20B in leveraged positions focused on GS / MS / Nomura / Credit Suisse. More news flow coming. Watch out for this morphing into something bigger.
- Market remains choppy. Be careful leaning way out on directional trades.
