Weekly Stock Market Commentary 4/13/2020

By Lawrence G. McMillan

The oversold rally that began with an intraday reversal on March 20th has regained steam and has risen above the 20-day Moving Average, as is typucal for an oversold rally.

For the record, there is resistance in the 2850-2900 area, even though support and resistance have meant much to this fast-moving market.

Equity-only put-call ratios are on buy signals. The current buy signals occurred right near the lows, on March 23rd and will remain in effect as long as the ratios are declining.

Weekly Stock Market Commentary 4/3/2020

By Lawrence G. McMillan

The oversold rally that was underway last week ran out of steam as soon as it ran into the declining 20-day moving average of $SPX. There is now resistance at 2650. The 2175-2190 level still qualifies as support, and it has not been tested at all.

The equity-only put-call ratios remain on buy signals, despite the fact that they have curled up ovhe past few days. These buy signals would be canceled if the ratios rise to new highs.

Some Perspectives on Volatility and Its History (Preview)

By Lawrence G. McMillan

We are currently, in March 2020, in one of the three most volatile markets in history.  In terms of absolute price change, it has no peers.  In terms of percentage price change, 1929, 1931-1933, and 1987 are all in the mix (but not 2008, which has been surpassed).  If we looked back even farther, there would be other markets which were volatile, too (1907, for example), but in this paper we are not looking back past 1928.

Weekly Stock Market Commentary 3/27/2020

By Lawrence G. McMillan

Stocks exploded out of a massive oversold condition this week and put together the best 3-day rally since....1931. That sounds a bit ominous, doesn't it? 1931 and 1932 were two of the worst stock market years on record. In any case, the bulls are enjoying the rally, and it has generated some buy signals from our indicators.

Stocks broke below the December 2018 lows this week, which was a support area that many had expected to hold. This market has blown through every supposed support area there was. The decline held at 2280. The 2280 level was last seen in February 2017. So in a matter of three weeks, the market has wiped out three years worth of gains.

Bear markets move fast, but this is one of the fastest of them all -- on the order of the most volatile markets of all time, 1931-1933.
