Show me the “money”

 

If the most important indicator in measuring and weighing market structure is price confirmation then there is nothing more important than a positive price breakout. Whether we have had the Jan effect (the first 5 day positive price effect) or not, the monthly close is suggesting some conspicuous price confirmations. As Indices around the world are breaking some significant true trendlines. For example the DOW 30. It has broken a significant true trendline of five years. We mentioned prior on 4 Dec in the DOW Illusion – II

“Did you know that DOW is 16% from an all time high, which it has not distinctly broken in 12 years. The basic rule of market structure suggests that the more a resistance is tested, the more likely it’s to break. Any 16% upside gives DOW a chance to test the 12 year resistance. How large is a 16% move?

This is what seems to happen now. This can of course be a false breakout. But how many false breakouts do you need? World Index, Russell 1000 broad index, Nasdaq 100, ISE home builders, Dow transports, and IYE real estate. True trendline breaks are all over the place. We need a failure across the board for the various sector indices to fail here and markets to come down. Well like I (Dan’s Elliott View is contrary to my conventional view) said, the bears are asking the bulls for the price confirmation or “show me the money”. Unfortunately “money” (price confirmation) is staring the bears in their face suggesting them to review their stand.

From the Indian perspective, the price confirmations are absent. You can’t expect India to lead everything. The whole idea of leadership is cyclical. Assets outperform and underperform their global peers cyclically. It’s time for India to lag hence no price confirmation. But if you observe closely all of CNXIT, BSE500, Sensex, CNX100, BSEAUTO, BSEPOWER are testing multi month resistances. A break would set the Indian Bull free to perform in 2012 (despite the odds). At the end of the day a few months or a 12 month Bull can happen in a large 90 year bottoming cycle. We as investors just need to focus on conserving portfolios while trying for double digit annual returns. The only way to do this is to focus on the worst losers and price breakout at the same time. This report carries some of the potential best long ideas in CNX100 components.

Let’s see, price confirmation prevails or Elliott Preferred topping 2 wave structures.

Our Jiseki Time cycles are seasonal patterns of strength or weakness in assets. They are derived from percentile rankings from 1 to 100. The higher the percentile more the chance for an asset to weaken and worst the ranking, better the chance for the respective asset to outperform. 100 is top relative performance and 1 is worst performance. The idea is that performance is cyclical. A top performer will underperform in future and vice versa. A top relative performer is also the worst value pick and the top relative underperformer is the best value pick. Jiseki is another name for Performance cycles, time triads and time fractals. The signals are illustrated as a running portfolio and as Jiseki Indices. These signals can be used by fund managers for relative allocations, traders for leverage bets and high net worth clients for selective trades.

Jiseki Interpretation. Signals are interpreted as crossovers between various Jiseki Cycles. All three Jiseki cycles (Jiseki 1,2 and 3) depict different time frames. Example: An asset is ranked above 80 percentile and all the three Jiseki cycles are pointing lower, this suggests a running SHORT SIGNAL. Our Jiseki Indices use different kind of exits based on price and Jiseki Cycles. We have color coded the (Jiseki 1>Jiseki 2) SHORT zones with brown sandy (burlywood) and grey (Jiseki 1>Jiseki2) for LONG SIGNALS.

BHEL VS PUNJ(L)

 

Apart from being a conservative long – short strategy, pair trading can also assist in stock selection. What to buy? When to buy? What to sell? When to sell? Now considering we have a worst status for Punj(L) and a still a best status for Bhel. The stocks are running at 5% and 95% respectively. We ran a pair check on the stocks and the JISEKI pair cycles delivered a maximum of 71% from Sep 2009 till May 2011. This is 45% annualized. The JISEKI cycle signal was running in favor of LONG BHEL and SHORT PUNJ(L) till JULY 2011. This again would have delivered about 35% annualized.  A reversion signal to the other side has not happened yet. Whenever it happens, SHORT BHEL and LONG PUNJ(L) will deliver. This is likely to happen because BHEL is the best and PUJ(L) is the worst. The latest ALPHA carries technical cases, Jiseki cycles and the respective pair review.

A) Sector, B) Stock, C) Jiseki

Which sectors are best ranked?
Which sectors are worst ranked?
Will the best ranked underperform and vice versa?
Can this help me make a strategy, to shortlist the best short ideas, if the markets are falling and vice versa?

So we ran a Jiseki query

1) Filter the best performing sectors above 80%
2) Filter them for falling Jiseki cycle negative crossover signals
3) Find the top ranked stocks in that sector
4) Filter the list for running short signals

Can you guess the sector and the stock which fulfills these conditions?

We have answered all these questions in the latest ALPHA. The report carries technical cases on all the banking stocks, ranking of pairs, the top running pair, Jiseki cycles on the banking stocks and a sector preview.

Waking up to divergence

Divergence is a part of nature, it is also observed in markets. This special issue on Indian Banks illustrate the divergence between YES Bank and SBI from May 2009 to Nov 2010 of 300%. The tough part about divergence is that there are few tools that can quantify it.

When will divergence between sector peers end?
What is high and low divergence?
Does it have maximum or minimum or average value?
Can we rank divergence spread between sector peers?

Orpheus Jiseki provides objective tools to explain divergence. We queried the Banking universe to understand.

1) Which are the most diverged Banking pairs?
2) Whether divergence is important to be seen for a month, 6 months or a year?
3) Can we rank the divergence between all banking pairs?
4) Does it tell us which are the banking outperformers?
5) Does it tell us whether banking sector will bottom?

We have answered all these questions in the latest ALPHA. The report carries technical cases on all the banking stocks, ranking of pairs, the top running pair, Jiseki cycles on the banking stocks and a sector preview.

Long BPCL, Short HPCL review

This is another working of the NEW JISEKI PAIR service. How did we do pairs previously? What has changed? Previously we used to do net rankings, selling the best and buying the worst. Now we are combining three Jiseki cycles together, like we do in individual stocks. The combination of the various Jiseki cycles tell us if the pair ratio line is headed higher or lower. If the ratio line between BPCL and HPCL (blue) is headed higher, it is long BPCL, short HPCL and vice versa. Interpretation can wary, a more risky trade can just involve the interaction of Jiseki 1>or<Jiseki2 or it can involve all the three of them. Example only go long BPCL short HPCL if all the three Jiseki are trended up, as at point C. From C point the pair has delivered 20% over the last 12 months. JISEKI PAIR service can also be used for stock selection, which sector peer to own and which to reduce or close.

Bear without POWER!

In this new format of Alpha Global Indices Dan Rusu covered the Elliott Wave Global Equity perspective on S&P, EuroStoxx50, Sensex, Nikkei, Thai SET and Chinese SSEC and Mukul has answered the following questions on Indian sectors. Why Nifty bearish case may not influence BSE Health Care Sector? Why Real Estate sector could determine where Indian equity is headed in 2012? Why lack of price confirmation is a spoiler for a secular bear? Why just looking at Nifty may be a bad idea? Investors may feel that they can live without real estate, but can you live without POWER? What is consumer durables and FMCG indicating?
