It is summertime, and the residing must be straightforward. People do are likely to go away in August because the market tends to cut round on decrease quantity. This August proves to be no exception up to now.
What’s fascinating although, is wanting on the reset of the July 6-month calendar ranges in 3 of the indices and one key sector. To remind you, the vary is nice till the following time it resets in January 2024. With almost 3 weeks for the reason that ranges have been made, we are able to probably conclude that the second half of the yr can be much less about progress shares and extra about small-caps.
The NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) has but to clear the July 6-month calendar vary excessive at 383.50. Plus, the Actual Movement indicator has a bearish momentum diversion, which means the purple dots sit under the 50-DMA whereas the worth stays above its 50-DMA. Ought to QQQs stay under the July vary excessive, then the technical commerce now could be to observe for it to carry 368-369 or the 50-DMA. Moreover, ought to that break, then the July 6-month calendar vary low can be necessary at 363.40.
After all, as it’s August, additionally it is attainable not a lot occurs till September and QQQs sit in a variety between 383 and 362.
As for SPY, though it’s in a little bit of a greater chart place than the QQQs, it too sits under the July vary excessive with momentum on its 50-DMA. Once more, not a wow, however not a dealbreaker at this level.
The Russell 2000 and Retail Sector look like the obvious locations to observe for subsequent strikes. The Russell 2000 (IWM) actually dances on the July 6-month calendar vary highs. 194.35 (closing foundation) is essential to carry, and, if it does, with stronger momentum than SPY or QQQ, the rotation into small caps and worth could possibly be the factor for the following 6 months.
Nevertheless, we should still should dwell by way of some August doldrums. Retail (XRT) may simply be the deciding vote. The value is presently under 67.40 or the July excessive vary excessive. Momentum, although, is healthier supplied XRT doesn’t fail to interrupt under 66.00. Proper now, wanting on the 4 charts, we are able to comfortably say that threat stays on, and small caps could lead on IF Retail holds. If that’s the case, then SPY and QQQs will maintain as effectively, however the pleasure may swap.
Keep in mind, the primary half was all about AI and progress. We’re watching to see if the second half turns into all about worth. And, within the meantime, we’re taking it comparatively straightforward, as August warmth can certainly be the canine days of summer season.
