🎢🚀💹 Choppy Waters Ahead or Smooth Sailing? 💹🚀🎢
Barcode’s Broader Market Update for the 17th of September.
Tēnā koe i tēnei ahiahi Tigers,
📈 Market Overview:
Another relatively strong day in the market, day six of this short-term cycle! We started out strong, but like a cat that’s had too much sun, the market faded as the day wore on. The S&P 500 hit a triple top at record highs 🧗♀️ but struggled to push beyond. Meanwhile, the Dow tried to sprint ahead, only to catch its breath after a quick retreat 😅. Momentum is brewing with that much-anticipated Fed meeting hanging over us like a Tui waiting to swoop! NVIDIA’s consolidation in the lower half of its range is a bit like waiting for the perfect surf, any moment it might catch a wave 🚀.
According to The Kobeissi Letter, market participants are sitting tight for the 50 basis point rate cut that’s largely been priced in by now. Any surprises from the Fed could lead to some wild swings, particularly with tech stocks already feeling the heat 🔥. Keep an eye on this choppy ride, as September is known for its seasonal weakness. Evan @stockmktnewz also echoed this, saying the tech-heavy NASDAQ is under pressure ahead of the Fed’s decision, which could either fuel a short-term pop or more downside 😬.
📊 Broader Market Indices:
Dow Jones: 41,622.08 (+228.30 | +0.55%) 💪 The Dow flexed some muscle, breaking out before easing back for a breather. This marathon isn’t over yet!
NASDAQ: 17,592.13 (-91.85 | -0.52%) 😬 Tech tripped over its own feet, but it may just be warming up for the next lap.
S&P 500: 5,633.09 (+7.07 | +0.13%) 🎢 A day of consolidation near record highs. Triple top territory. Will we see a break-out, or is it going to stop for a chat before retreating?
SLV (Silver Trust ETF): 28.07 (+0.06 | +0.21%) 🌕 Silver, always the quiet one, is playing catch-up. Think of it as the tortoise to Gold’s hare in this race. Slow and steady, but definitely looking to break out of that cup!
⚡️ My crystal ball charts:
My chart analysis says we’re about to see some waves 🌊. NVIDIA is consolidating, just like a surfer waiting for that one perfect swell 🌊🏄♀️. The S&P 500 is hitting the top of a triple top. It’s like pushing the same heavy boulder up a hill three times, will it finally roll over to the other side? Or are we in for a retreat back down? SPY’s patterns suggest we may break through, but only if the Fed’s anticipated rate cuts give it that extra push!
💡 Sector Highlights:
The Magnificent 7 stocks are hotter than a freshly brewed flat white! ☕️ With all eyes on the upcoming rate cut, we’re seeing the SEMI’s, software giants, and tech titans running up ahead of time like they’ve guzzled an extra shot of espresso. 🚀💻
Small Caps: These underdogs are showing some life, just waiting for their moment in the spotlight. Think of them as the Rocky Balboas of the market 🥊.
Biotech: It’s been a bit quiet here, like a lab experiment waiting to reveal something groundbreaking. Could it pop soon? 🧪
Transports: Trains, planes, and trucks 🚂✈️🚛 have been chugging along steadily, keeping things moving while the rest of the market is eyeing the Fed.
Gold: Gold is on a run! It’s moved up out of its cup handle like a prized racehorse bursting out of the gate 🏇. But after today’s slight pause, don’t be surprised if we see another gallop soon!
Silver: After lagging behind, Silver’s slowly climbing out of its own cup formation, and it’s ready to start catching up to Gold 🥈. Slow but steady wins the race, right?
🎉 Fun Fact:
Did you know the term “Dead Cat Bounce” originated on Wall Street? Traders would say that even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great enough height 😺. Rest assured, no felines were harmed in the making of this market analogy!
🔮 Looking Ahead:
Tomorrow is shaping up to be another day of choppy seas 🌊. If the Fed cuts by 50 basis points as everyone’s expecting, we could see a sharp rally 🎇, but don’t get too comfy, the market may dip once the adrenaline wears off. The Kobeissi Letter mentioned that while cuts are likely, market participants should remain cautious as the seasonal weakness of September is historically volatile. October could bring more turbulence, but it’s also a time for opportunities, keep those binoculars handy, traders! 📉📈

NVIDIA's Next-Generation Chips: There are signs of strong demand for NVIDIA's next-generation chips coming from its supply chain in Asia. Despite underwhelming sales guidance last month, Wall Street analysts generally back the company's next-generation Blackwell chips to fuel further growth. Large cloud-computing customers are preparing to shift to NVIDIA's next-generation systems, which is expected to contribute to future growth for the company.
Tech Sector Outlook: The tech-heavy NASDAQ, which includes NVIDIA, is under pressure and may experience some volatility. The market participants are eagerly waiting for the Federal Reserve meeting, as any surprises related to interest rate cuts could lead to wild swings in the market, especially for tech stocks. Additionally, September is known for its seasonal weakness, so caution is advised.
Potential Market Volatility: If the Fed cuts rates as expected, we could see a sharp rally in the market. However, it's important to be prepared for potential market dips once the initial excitement subsides. September and October are historically volatile months, but they also present opportunities for traders who navigate the market carefully.
