Chart of the Day

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Michael Kahn (@mnkahn). It’s a daily bar chart of Gold over the past year. Gold has had a terrific run this year and is actually outperforming the S&P 500 year-to-date. Michael notes that it may be a good time to “ease up on the gas” because the chart is showing a bearish RSI divergence as well as a reversal pattern. A bearish RSI divergence occurs when price makes a new high while RSI fails to make a new high. In addition to the reasons Michael laid out, sentiment on Gold is beginning to reach extremely bullish levels, which is actually a bearish sign that the trade is crowded. We’ve been bullish on Gold and think that this is potentially the beginning of a bull market in Precious Metals. However, in the short-term, Gold looks like it needs some time to cool off and digest its recent gains.


Quote of The Day

“Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.”

I think most of us would agree that $SPX option sellers have had a rough go since 2018. Just how rough you ask?

Let's compare a strategy that buys 7d ATM calls to one that sells 7d ATM puts (rolled with 1DTE). This is the growth of $1mm portfolio trading 5 contracts. pic.twitter.com/ktVjxNzQQW

I like to take what I consider the "Offensive Sectors" and compare them to my "Defensive Sectors". Both baskets equally-weighted: Financials, Tech & Discretionary vs Staples Utes & Healthcare $XLF $XLK $XLY $XLP $XLU $XLV – Will Ratio confirm $SPX or was that "THE" divergence? pic.twitter.com/I6wCLArZrU

The 30-year did make a new all-time low out to three decimal places. Equaled its July 8, 2016 all-time low out to two decimal places.

No other point on the yield curve is close to new all-time lows.

So the US begins to join the rest of the world making new all-time-lows. pic.twitter.com/eSumU7yzJ0
