$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$   Sell in May and Go Away? The problem with "Sell in May" is that seasonality in May isn't bad. 75% of the time markets close higher by an average of 0.2%. The riskiest month is September, where markets are only up 55% of the time and have an average return of -0.7%. But nothing rhymes with September 🤷‍♀️ 

Hi everyone. The last time I issued an update on this cryptocurrency miner was about a month ago. Here’s my updated TA: Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) Instead of trying to look at smaller fractals, let’s look at the larger fractal. Consider the ascending support and resistance trendlines (in green) which form somewhat of an expansion pattern. Notice how in the short-term, the stock is trading in a bearish ascending channel (in red) which is indicative of another leg down. Similar to my previous newsletter on MARA, at the minimum, I am expecting the 13.70-14.07 gap to fill. As we have seen from the last major correction on MARA ending in Oct’23, price action remained muted until the stock filled the 7.21-7.49 gap from Mar’23. I am expecting something similar here. The main

Hi everyone. Today I’ll be sharing 2 possible scenarios for Buffett’s favourite stock: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) AAPL has been trading in a series of higher highs and higher lows. Notice how it has held the dark green support trendline since 2018. AAPL is currently trading in what seems to be a descending broadening wedge reversal pattern, after making new ATHs at 199.62. What happens next largely depends on the reaction at the 186 level: Under the “bullish scenario”, AAPL breaks out and heads towards 198.23 to form what could possibly be the right shoulder in a head and shoulders pattern. If this happens, we can see a longer consolidation pattern. Under the “bearish scenario”, AAPL rejects at this 186 level and heads back down towards the 158-159 bullish gap from March last year. This s

Hi everyone. I’ll also be initiating coverage on a semiconductor company in Singapore: AEM Holdings Ltd. (SGX: AWX) AEM’s chart looks really weak. And I mean it. Here’s why: AEM formed a head and shoulders topping pattern (see if you can spot it - I won’t be pointing it out as it has already completed this pattern) previously. Subsequently, it broke down from a 7-year support trendline (green) in February, and has not been able to break above its 3-year resistance trendline (red). Until the latter is broken, it will continue to trade in a series of lower highs and lower lows. We appear to be nearing a short-term bottom, as we set to retest prior resistance at 1.89 from above. This should result in an S/R flip that can lead to a “bear market”-style retracement to 2.83 (prior support-turned

The saying "Sell in May and go away" suggests that investors should sell their stock holdings in May to avoid a seasonal decline in the market, with plans to return in November. This strategy is based on the historical observation that stock market returns from May through October are often lower compared to other months. This could be due to lower trading volumes as many investors take summer vacations, leading to less liquidity and potentially more volatility.  The strategy also considers factors like the financial calendar, which can influence institutional investors' behavior, and sector rotation, where different industries perform better at different times of the year. However, this adage has its criticisms, including inconsistencies in year-over-year data, the potential costs o

US Market - Stocktaking. Stocks have remained resilient in recent weeks despite: Reports on sticky inflation. Confirmation that the Fed will hold interest rates higher for longer. Now, Wall Street strategists believe that's likely due to a better-than-expected set of first quarter earnings. Supporting Facts … With 80% of the S&P 500 companies completed their mandatory reporting according to FactSet, the benchmark index is on track for a 5% growth in first quarter earnings per share. (see above) This is (a) the biggest YoY increase since Q2 2022 and (b) higher than the 3.2% growth analysts had expected prior to the start of the season. As highlighted by BlackRock, Head of Investment Institute - Jean Bolvin: Historically, higher interest rates usually hurt US stock valuations. This t

Summary ISM Services for April shows contraction in the U.S. service sector, a key driver of the economy, while the U.S. economy added fewer jobs than expected. Based on this data, the U.S. economy is likely slipping into a recession in Q3 2024. Thus, S&P 500 is facing a recessionary bear market, which could be brutal as the mega-cap tech bubble burst. LilliDay An imminent recession The labor market report for April showed that the U.S. economy added only 175K new jobs, which was well below the expectations of 245K. This data, on the surface, points to a slowing U.S. economy. But more importantly, the ISM Services for April came at 49.4, which indicates that the U.S. service sector is contracting.

As we revisit the age-old adage, "Sell in May and go away," the allure of evading seasonal market blues seems tempting. But before we leap into the whimsy of seasonal trading, let's delve into the financial rationale behind this oft-repeated advice. The Olden Days of Stock Lore: Uncovering Stock Market Legends: Past Trends Analysed Legend has it that from May to October, the stock market takes a siesta, offering lacklustre returns akin to a stale crumpet. Conversely, the months from November to April supposedly bloom with market riches, akin to freshly picked strawberries in a summer garden. However, in our modern investment world, relying solely on historical whimsy is akin to betting on the swirling pattern of a teabag in a cup.

$(TSM)$  Sell in May and Go Away: A Summer Vacation for Your Portfolio? The age-old adage, "Sell in May and go away," has been whispered in investment circles for generations. This strategy proposes selling your stocks in May and staying out of the market until November, aiming to capitalize on a historical trend of weaker stock market performance during those summer months. The Logic Behind the Sell-Off: The theory behind "Sell in May and go away" rests on historical data. On average, the S&P 500 has delivered lower returns from May to October compared to the period between November and April. This trend is attributed to several factors: * Summer Slump: Reduced trading activity during the summer months, as invest

Economic Data and Fed Policy: Rising labor costs and weakening consumer confidence have contributed to market uncertainty. U.S. labor costs increased by 1.2% last quarter, surpassing expectations and signaling wage pressures that could complicate inflation management. In addition, a survey revealed that U.S. consumer confidence declined to its lowest level in more than 1-1/2 years. These reports coincided with the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, with investors anticipating the central bank to hold interest rates steady. Market participants are closely watching the Fed's response to these economic indicators and how it might influence future monetary policy. Key Sectors and Stocks: The decline affected several significant stocks, including those in the Magnificent Sev

🌟🌟🌟Sell In May and Go Away is a trading strategy which recommends investors close their positions in May and walk away from the markets until October.  This strategy is in stark contrast to Buy and hold in which investors will ride out temporary slumps in the market.   April is supposed to be a strong month, yet it was down 3% for $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  breaking a 5 month winning streak.  According to Stock Trader's Almanac, the market has a tendency to be weaker in April and May after First Quarter Big Gains in election  years but also noted the last 7 months of the year tend to be up.  Market timing is always a tricky affair.   Instead I prefer the saying "It
