Chart of the Day
Always an interesting chart to look at $SPY vs $GLD & $TLT #IntermarketAnalysis pic.twitter.com/syPOIP5HYi

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Grant Hawkridge (@granthawkridge). On top is a daily candlestick chart of the S&P 500 ETF, $SPY. In the middle is $SPY/$TLT, and on the bottom is $SPY/$GLD. Stocks ($SPY) have underperformed both Bonds ($TLT) and Gold ($GLD) so far this year. However, with less than two months left in 2019, Stocks seems to be firming up relative to the other two asset classes. As you can see, $SPY/$TLT recently broke out of a multi-month downtrend, and $SPY/$GLD looks like it’s trying to do the same. It would be bullish for the broader market to see Stocks regain leadership over safe-haven assets like Bonds and Gold.

As I said many times, broadening or megaphone patterns can resolve either way and are not always bearish. Very unreliable formation. It's a bull market til it ain't! $SPX pic.twitter.com/74bUnWMyfo

Lotsa warning flags (divergences, Hindenburg/Titanic omens, et al) but as long as trend remains up they're only warning flags. (This is an hourly chart w/a 63 hour ema.) But may reverse suddenly when the time comes w/so many people anticipating it and just waiting for The Sign.) pic.twitter.com/KZ0DpczOCg
