Why This Newest Bull Market Advance Is So Bullish | Buying and selling Locations with Tom Bowley

I have been bullish for almost two years now. Bullish rotation and Wall Avenue manipulation began the most recent leg of this SECULAR bull market again in June 2022. In case you observe my analysis and work, then I am positive you bear in mind these two headlines on YouTube:

You possibly can see that these two calls had been in mid-June 2022 and late-September 2022. They weren’t the actual backside, which occurred on October 13, 2022, however I might say I used to be fairly darn shut. And only a few agreed with me on the time. That is okay although, as a result of my analysis is most essential to me once I see issues otherwise from everybody else. Historical past has confirmed me right and that is what’s most essential to me.

The bears do not give in simply, nevertheless, because it’s all the time in fashion to suppose bearish ideas. Pessimism runs wild in people. It is this pessimism that completely fuels bull markets.

Sentiment

Of us, the pessimism is simply starting to high and roll over. The 1-year (or 253-day) shifting common of the equity-only put name ratio ($CPCE) has been unbelievably correct in calling MAJOR bull market advances. It has been calling for one once more and it is proper once more:

Sentiment performs a HUGE position in long-term inventory market course. The present secular bull market is probably going secure for months, if not years, just because the choices world stays do pessimistic. Those self same choices merchants had been extremely bullish on the finish of 2021, simply earlier than our nasty 2022 cyclical bear market. Merely “put”, there have been no extra patrons. Everybody that needed in was already in!

I can see a 5-6% pullback sooner or later in 2024, probably even a ten% correction over the summer time, however I am assured we’ll finish 2024 at all-time highs. The above CPCE chart is one huge motive why.

Bullish Rotation

The bears have tried nearly each excuse since mid 2022. Inflation and “Do not combat the Fed” had been two of my favorites again then. Then the bears morphed into “rallies are too slim”, “breadth is weak”, and, in fact, “it is solely the Magnificent 7!” Let me simply say that the Magnificent 7 is the biggest a part of the SPY and QQQ, so if I may hand decide which 7 shares I might wish to carry out nicely, it could be these EXACT 7! 🙂

However I might agree the very best bull market is one during which we see broad participation. At EarningsBeats.com, we completely want seeing the rising tide lifting ALL boats. The rally since October twenty seventh is the rising tide lifting ALL boats!

I’ve damaged down the important thing S&P 500 rallies because the October 2022 cyclical bear market low. Examine them out:

The red-shading reveals the slim energy in our 3 key aggressive sectors – XLK, XLY, and XLC. The green-shaded space highlights the WIDE participation within the rally off the October 2023 low. The red-shaded rally had management from 4 of the 5 aggressive sectors. The one one lacking was financials (XLF). The green-shaded rally, nevertheless, reveals ALL 5 aggressive sectors main AND a number of different sectors not far behind. That is the rising tide lifting ALL boats.

High 20 Finest Performers

Many people (possibly all of us?) endure from some type of recency bias. It is simple to take a look at final week’s rally led by Meta Platform’s (META) blowout quarterly earnings report and consider it is merely the Magnificent 7 doing their factor once more. Final week was greater than that, although. If we have a look at the shares within the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100, sure, META was the very best performer and definitely did its share in lifting our main indices. However when you have a look at the High 20 shares (within the S&P 500 or NASDAQ 100) final week, you will see it was rather more than META:

There’s all kinds of sectors and business teams represented on this High 20 record. They will not get equal air time on CNBC, although. You will hear how META and AMZN drove the market greater. That is not a false story, however it’s an incomplete one.

I discussed on a number of events final week how I believed that META and AMZN had been going to report blowout numbers and so they each got here by way of. Take a look at their charts, particularly their relative efficiency vs. their business friends:

META:

AMZN:

I consider there’s an enormous benefit heading into earnings IF an organization is a number one inventory inside a number one business group. I anticipate strong information from these firms after which it merely comes down as to if these sturdy outcomes are already constructed into the inventory worth on the time of launch. If not, we many instances will see the kind of response we noticed on each META and AMZN.

I will function an organization that reviews this week in tomorrow’s FREE EB Digest e-newsletter. I would not be shocked to see a HUGE advance after earnings are launched. I actually anticipate numbers to return in forward of Wall Avenue consensus estimates.
