Mish's Daily
By Geoff Bysshe
Tuesday is interesting chart day.
This chart is one that we use to in our Alpha Rotation trading strategy to assess the conditions of the market.
It has an interesting, but complicated tendency to lead or confirm stock market swings.
As a result, it’s current pattern is particularly interesting.
It’s down 23% from its peak in June of 2018, but it may be time to pick a bottom.
It has a very big divergence in our Real Motion indicators, and if there is any reprieve of the global recession fears it could surprise traders to the upside.
The reason it’s so interesting is that if it were to bottom here, I would see it as a bullish sign for stocks.
It’s an early call for a “bottom”, but well worth keeping on your watch list.
S&P 500 (SPY) Support at Monday’s low area, 287. Big support area is 280 to 277.70 (the 200 DMA). Resistance at today’s high, 291.14.
