Furthermore, a few characteristics of the recent rally distinguish it from the previous failed forays over the past six months. This rally started from the lowest valuation, deepest oversold conditions, and the most depressed investor sentiment backdrop of any of the previous breakout attempts. The rally has definitely earned its strips, so to speak. What&#39;s more, multiples have been severely compressed. Let me explain.</p><h3>Multiples are compressed</h3><p>The S&amp;P 500 multiple dropped 25% to 16-times the current forecasted earnings.

Eventually, one of them covers creating an initial pop, then they all race to cover their shorts before the other, causing a short covering rally to ensue. There is no choice for them. They have to buy the shares back to book the profits. It appears the inflation fever has broken as well. Here is why.</p><h3>Inflation fever broken?</h3><p>On the macro front, future inflation outlooks have dropped to their lows for the year, a good sign that allegedly out-of-control inflation may finally be in decline.

This is all quite uncertain, yet, for the moment, it looks as though this earnings season may not be as bad as many have predicted.</p><h2>The Wrap Up</h2><p>I am bullish on the market’s prospects going forward. I feel now is the time to create new positions for the next decade to come, just as it was in 2009 when I did it before. In fact, growth stocks have begun to take charge recently, which many were saying wouldn&#39;t happen again for years, some even stated growth stocks would be dead for decades.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/211340a9ce27c1a231ac3b836a56901a\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Russell 1000 Growth VS Value (CNBC)</p><h3>Nevertheless, challenges still remain</h3><p>Yet, major challenges still remain. A late cycle slowing economy coinciding with an aggressive Federal Reserve intent stamping out inflation is a formidable mix. Friday’s healthy jobs report has eased the market’s worry over recession, but it may give the Fed cover to continue to raise rates in an effort to tame inflation. Lastly, the credit markets have firmed up in the past few days, yet were flashing concern over a weaker economy for weeks on end until now. So, take that with a grain of salt. This week&#39;s CPI and PPI reports will be very telling. It&#39;s a huge week for economic reports for sure.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/56727d592afffdc314e7dd05a831cb3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"134\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Economic Reports (BLS.gov)</p><h2>Final Note</h2><p>There&#39;s a fine art to investing during highly volatile markets such as these. It entails layering into positions over time to reduce risk. I believe the markets may have further to fall, yet attempting to perfectly time the bottom is a fool&#39;s errand. If you have an extremely low risk tolerance I suggest waiting for a well-defined trend reversal prior to starting as position. I&#39;m in this for the long haul, so I see an opportunity at this level for like-minded investors and retirees. You can count on this stable, growing payout for years to come. If you look at a chart of the past recessions, you will see that they always end, and don&#39;t last nearly as long as expansions. So we will be out the other side before you know it.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1165338170cc14c94d38b4581f27d25a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"256\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Recessions Throughout History (Stlouisfed.org)</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>SPY Breakout Looms: Seventh Time's The Charm</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSPY Breakout Looms: Seventh Time's The Charm\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-14 23:27 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4522785-spy-breakout-looms-seventh-times-the-charm><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Current market conditionsThe recent rally which started in mid-June has not yet proved itself to be more than simply an oversold bear-market rally presently.SP500 Performance Chart (Seeking Alpha)This...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4522785-spy-breakout-looms-seventh-times-the-charm\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SPY":"标普500ETF"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4522785-spy-breakout-looms-seventh-times-the-charm","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2251108188","content_text":"Current market conditionsThe recent rally which started in mid-June has not yet proved itself to be more than simply an oversold bear-market rally presently.SP500 Performance Chart (Seeking Alpha)This is due to the fact it has not challenged major resistance at the $4,000 level just yet.
