5 Weekly Charts Suggesting Market Correction May Be Ending

In my book titled “Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth “, I use weekly charts assuming that a longer timeframe rather than a Daily one to measure the market’s next moves and the macro, is better.

I also introduce the Economic Modern Family in the book.

Weekly phases combined with the incredibly accurate Family index and sectors, are super useful right now.

Coming into Monday, the initial sell-off was significant.

However, the indexes and a lot of sectors popped off those lows. Keeping that in mind, here are 5 weekly charts indicating that the market correction could be coming to an end:

1. Russell 2000

On the weekly chart, the () held the 200 and 50-week moving averages.

2. Retail Stocks

Granny held the 50-WMA but is underperforming and breaking the 50-WMA on momentum.

3. Semiconductors

Sister Semiconductors fell to the 50-WMA precisely. However, has hurdles with the momentum declining and the performance underwhelming compared to the benchmark.

4. Long Bonds

Long Bonds have run up but into the resistance levels of last October. Interestingly, the last time everyone called on the Fed to lower rates and were convinced recession was coming.

5. Transportation Sector

The Transports flashed warning ever since March when underperformed the SPY and Real Motion indicated a bearish divergence.

Bottom Line

As this week continues, it will be up to 1 of 3 scenarios to help us decide what is next:

1. Bonds break out more (over October highs) and continue higher in a flight to safety, not good
2. Semis hold here and resume rally, which in turn spurs on Gramps and Granny to hold and run and the bonds sell off.
3. Transportation does not hold Monday’s lows and selling off further-this is the surest sign of whether we see a recession coming.
