Volatility Matrix

FEEDI am insanely bored of the market right now, so I am spending lots of time roaming around Slope. I had forgotten about our exceptionally cool volatility matrix page. Here’s an example, in which I asked it to plot every one of the symbols in my Bear Pen.

SaaS Test

FEEDIntuit (INTU) reports after the close today, and I have a short position on it based on this price gap: Here is the longer view, showing how the stock has been engaged in a progression of lower lows and lower highs for many months now.

De-Fanged

FEEDJudging from its utter inability to even beat its price gap, it seems like the FAANGS stock, represented by way of the FNGS ETF, might have run out of gas.

Iran by the Numbers

FEEDI thought I’d show off Slope’s dazzling global economic database by featuring six charts about our friend Iran. Please note this data is PRIOR to the war, so as bad as things are below, they are a lot worse now. Click on any chart for a big version and note that the description of what Read More 0 Comments

Let’s Talk About Dicks

FEEDThis need not be a lengthy post. but I hope its brevity is made up for by the girth of the charts themselves. DKS has provided lower guidance, which is pounding the stock by almost 20%. I wish I could say that I was short, but as Mrs. Bear can attest, that simply isn’t the Read More 0 Comments

Your Q’s/My A’s

My Mother, the Car

FEEDHere’s an illustration of how loyal people are to their cars, based on brand. You’ll take my Tesla from my cold, dead hands! Polestar? Meh, take it.

Index Review

FEEDWe have a big week ahead, between NVDA on Wednesday and Jackson Hole on Friday, so let’s look at the index charts as of Friday’s close. The NASDAQ Composite did two important things recently: first, it did NOT challenge its lifetime high, even at its strongest, and second, it DID establish a new price gap, Read More 0 Comments

Semis and Nvidia

FEEDOn Wednesday afternoon, NVDA will issue their earnings report. This should be a market-mover (as well as Warsh’s Friday morning Jackson Hole speech), so let’s take a quick look at the semi space. The semiconductor index is still bearishly configured, in spite of pushing somewhat into its pink reversal pattern. The target is to tag Read More 0 Comments

Key ETF Charts

FEEDAfter a mildly tumultuous week, let’s look at some key exchange traded funds. First up is the Dow 30, which has two interesting features: first, it broken its ascending trendline for the first time ever, causing it some much-needed damage, and second, it created a price gap between Wednesday and Thursday which presently represents important Read More 0 Comments

Tesla Price Gap

FEEDTesla has blasted higher for weeks. Kindly note that it is approaching a fill of the price gap created following its poor earnings report.

Just Three Puts

FEEDBelow are my three bearish (and long-term) options plays. I’m going to leave these absolutely alone unless the stop is violated. I have put the details of each position in the caption areas.

Surprising Longs

FEEDBelow are a couple of legitimately bullish-looking patterns. The actual nature of the companies – – one of them a minor brokerage that focuses on crypto, and the other an ultra-right-wing news site – – is immaterial to the charts themselves. I’ll just leave these here:

Smaller Bears

FEEDA quick survey of some of the more bearish-looking charts in my “Recent” watch list (stocks that haven’t been trading very long).

Shower, Not a Grower

FEEDIs he kidding? Let’s consider that a moment. The fact that the entire press corps didn’t break out in riotous laughter when he uttered those words tells you just how deluded everyone has become. We aren’t going to grow our way out of this, Scott. Ever.

Index Mark-Ups

FEEDAs we move into the final trading day of the week, let’s look at eight key charts. We begin with the NASDAQ Composite, which has broken down nicely in recent days and is approaching its 50-day EMA. I would remind you, incidentally, that the impetus for the HUGE early August rally in stocks was because Read More 0 Comments

I’ve been inside plenty of them, including some of the big boys. And I’ll just leave two brief facts in response to the above trailer: Just sayin’. All I can Read More 0 Comments

Daily Interference

FEEDSo, yesterday, the Treasury Secretary made the shocking announcement that he would at LEAST double purchases of treasury debt, which sent worldwide markets into a tizzy. Since a day cannot go by without the bull snowflakes being provided a fresh teat by the government wet nurse, we now have this: Uh-huh. Anyway, I had some Read More 0 Comments

SpaceX Range Holding

FEEDI have stated numerous times that SPCX is rangebound between 104 and 150. Well, true to form, this fellow is retreating. It could be months before it breaks out.

Bite Me, Bessent!

FEEDIt isn’t often you see someone like me who can manage to be tense at a dog park, but I was. In the midst of dozens of big canines galumphing around, my arms were crossed, my eyes were downcast, and I felt like a tight bundle of nerves, and it was all the fault of Read More 0 Comments

A Quirk to Understand

FEEDI’d like to explain something subtle in SlopeCharts which is important to you folks who use the platform regularly. I have a perfect example to illustrate this point, which is Moderna (MRNA), a stock which blasted 177% higher yesterday (!!!!!!!!!). Just look at this chart! Wait a second. Where’s the huge price bar? It looks Read More 0 Comments
