1\/ CVS Looking Healthy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Yesterday\u2019s post, I mentioned that one of the most important rules we adhere to as Technical Analysts is to make sure that we know and follow the Primary Trend. My own worst trading performance was in 2009 when I was convinced the market would fall but the Primary Trend was going higher. If only I\u2019d done the CMT before then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all looked at ATRs in terms of stop losses. Ie. When price falls by more than 1 ATR (the normal daily volatility) we conclude that the trend has changed\u2014since the move is not greater than the typical volatility\u2014and we exit the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 90\u2019s, Michael Gur wrote a book called \u201cThe Symmetry Wave Trading Method\u201d and the general crux was constructing \u201cswings\u201d using multiple ATRs as the trigger for a change in direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Swing chart\/overlay is an awesome way to determine trend. There are only two options (up or down). There are many calculations that we can use for swings to determine the direction. From points or percent retraced through to bar relationships as introduced by WD Gann. No matter how they are calculated, we can use them as our guide to only trade with the Primary Trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Chart 1, I\u2019ve scanned the S&P500 for any names that have turned to an uptrend in the last day (Feb 8 data) using a 4-ATR Volatility Swing. The list is short with only a few names\u2014which make it easy for us to examine them. Using Feb 7\u2019s data (when I wrote this) CVS showed up and it is really interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look at the bottom of the chart where there is an \u201c11\u201d label, you will see that a new regime of upward trends has started. The \u201c11\u201d tells us that there had been 11 successive lower swing lows without a higher swing high. The \u201c1\u201d on the next swing higher (after 11) tells us that we made a new swing high and have started a new count in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this environment, we just got a signal that Swing 2 is set (because the market retraced enough from 2) and we have a Potential wave 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, you may be thinking \u201cCVS didn\u2019t just turn. The swing bottom was at 2!\u201d That\u2019s a confusing part of how these swings are drawn.  It is not until price retraced by 4 ATRs that we add that last swing at all. Since Jan 25, the average 4 ATR value was 6.5, and given the low at \u201c2\u201d was around $70, CVS had to climb above $76.50 before we could add the swing. That happened on Feb 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the aggressive traders may take this signal right now with a stop at \u201c2\u201d, the more conservative approach would be to wait for CVS to post a newer high above \u201c1\u201d ($83.25). Either way, Swings provide an interesting way to determine the trend in the market \u2013 something we all need to be able to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\/ BTC against Resistance Levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the recent pullback over the past month, Bitcoin is once again pushing up against resistance levels and with the momentum it has, it\u2019s likely to push through and reach the next major resistance level at 48,208. Of course, with all Resistance zone, I\u2019d prefer to see a close above resistance rather than an intraday penetration of the zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general trend of the where BTC has been going since November 2023 tells us that the Primary Trend is up, and we see a series of higher highs and higher lows with string support at 24,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Chart 2 I\u2019ve added a Support and Resistance Finder indicator that helps me identify where we can expect to find Support and Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3\/ BTC with Volatility S&R<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another way of looking at Support and Resistance is to use an Indicator created by Kirk Northington, CMT and Carson Dahlberg, CMT called Volatility Based Support and Resistance (VBSR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The math behind this one is crazy complex, but the results are an amazing indicator that shows where we can expect to find support and resistance based on volatility. There is a working paper available at\u00a0https:\/\/www.optuma.com\/research<\/a>\u00a0that explains more about VBSR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Chart 3 you can see the same period of BTC as Chart 2 but with VBSR added. There\u2019s a lot of lines but take some time to look back over the history and see how many times the price stalled and often reversed at these zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love that there is still innovation in the area of Technical Analysis, and this is a fantastic example of an indicator that leverages the power of computers to do analysis in seconds that would have been impossible 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the bottom panel we measure the distance from Price to the next support or Resistance level so we can visualize the potential risk and reward at any point in time. When price is resting again support but there is a long way to go before we hit resistance, we will see very little red and a lot of green. Eg. The Middle of December 2023 is an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4\/ Consumer Discretionary and Money Supply<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For my final chart of the week, I\u2019m heading back to an interesting correlation that is showing me strength in the market. The top panel in Chart 4 shows USA Money Supply (M1). This is the combined total of physical currency in circulation (M0) plus liquid funds in bank accounts. Can you guess when Covid handouts were distributed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second panel in Chart 4 shows the Consumer Discretionary Sector ETF (XLY). This is the sector that is most sensitive to confidence. What jumps out to me is how Consumer Discretionary had its steepest period of growth in conjunction with the handouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next thing that jumps out is that as soon as the M1 supply started to fall from early 2022, the XLY had its most significant correction since the 2008 Financial Crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the correlation between the two in the third pane on the chart. Note: Don\u2019t let anyone tell you that correlations are immutable\u2014they\u2019re not. All our research has shown that there is a cycling in correlations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we look at the most recent period of the chart, we can see some encouraging signs. M1 supply is still being reduced but XLY is now growing in spite of that. The correlations are a lot lower. This is very encouraging and shows considerable strength and confidence in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
