Market Brief 25th April - 6am UK Time.
Strong stock market rally....... BUT! So far failing to break above 5520 that would next target 5850. Folk obsess over technical's such as EMA, breadth thrusts, oversold sentiment and so on, BUT outside of the stock market charts and studies THERE IS THE CRIPPLED US BOND MARKET THAT REMAINS HEADING TOWARDS A PANIC EVENT as I have been iterating since March.
What's changed?
Nothing!
Capital flight out of the US continues that can be summed up in a few words as the Yen Carry Trade Unwind as I covered at length in my article - https://www.patreon.com/posts/stock-market-as-126879270
Yes Trump is surrendering on tariffs, why? because of FEAR of what he has unleashed! He can't control what he has unleashed! The damage has been done, a recession has been baked in for months no matter what the talking heads say on the CNBC cartoon network.
It looks like we need some luck on our side to get that break above 5520 to target 5850, to get the herd FOMO-ing in just BEFORE the next panic event that will see the yield on the US 10 year pop above 5% from current 4.3%.
The Panic event will manifest as Yen Up, Dollar Down, US Bonds Down, US Stocks Down, a spike in volatility = AI stocks Panic buying opp as the Fed will be forced to save the bond market with QE.
On the bright side the AI Mega-trend is exponential, the next big thing is just around the corner that just like LLM's will be a game changer and prompt demand for even more compute power, the next leap towards AGI, maybe Quantum finally starts producing results. Looking at the S&P chart shows folk have had 3 opps to buy AI stocks at deep discounts and so we will probably get a fourth opp, how low could she blow? Depends on how well the panic is handled, if Trump and his cronies run their mouths with bullshit about how great everything is then we will break the 4800 low, if they keep quiet and let the adults such as Jerome Powell do the talking then we should hold the 4800 low. So I've placed my limits and will see what gets filled on both the buy side and the sell side.
And don't forget that the S&P is a nothing burger, alls folk need to do is buy target stocks when cheap where column AC easily tells you how cheap or expensive each stock is instead of looking at the S&P. Right now cheapest AI stocks are Nvidia, Google and Amazon which means new all time highs for these 3 this year remains doable regardless of the draw downs. If the S&P suffers another panic attack as looks likely then that would be great because it means target AI tech stocks become dirt cheap once more because the exponential AI mega-trend isn't going away! Yes folk need to learn to always keep some powder dry which is why one trims rallies, sells some of what one bought during the dip at a profit so cash gets rebuilt and average price paid per share nudges lower.
