Oil, I have been banging this drum from time to time. Looks like it is getting to be a real problem, as drilling could stop for several months and production would just keep rising. Current DUCs in the Permian (all according to John Kemp) 2,330 with 350 completed last month. An 8 month supply. :(

Small Caps on sell first ask questions later status. Now bouncing on that 20 day ADR low. This normally would be close to the days bottom but after last week I say it the odds favor this being the bottom for today.

Small Cap Futs not bouncing up and away, coming back down for a second crack at 1382.3, the 20 day Average Daily Range Low (13.2 points from the open). This is supposed to be boring statistically, as usually we would start a slow painful drift up from here.

If you are curious, and these are all Regular Trading Hours, RTH (old open outcry pit hours).
TF todays range so far 14.0
10 day average 14.7
20 day average 13.2

ES todays range 8.5
10 day average 12.5
20 day average 11.5
Considering it takes almost two TF points to equal an ES point in nominal amount of securities, but both are valued at $50 it is no wonder the TF is more exciting to trade.

Were the somewhat spooky parallels to continue, 2020 would usher in a two-decade, 13% CAR stock outperformance over corporate bonds as enjoyed during the 50s and 60s.

Which, as Corrigan concludes, would be something to behold... and is probably the most bullish equity market analog we have seen yet.

U.S. Stock Market: Sunrise … Sunset
See what happens when speculative fever cools down

By Elliott Wave International

The market itself provides its own clues about its future price action. One such clue is found in higher-beta small cap stocks vs. lower-beta blue chips.

Every bull and bear market has a beginning and an end.

That would seem to be an obvious statement, but during an extended financial trend, a “no end in sight” sentiment usually develops. Many market observers perceive the protracted trend as the norm.

A perfect example is the current uptrend in the stock market: It started in March 2009 and is still going strong, with the Dow Industrials posting a string of record highs.

This Aug. 4 CNBC headline conveys the optimistic extreme:

‘The bull market could continue forever’ — strategist outlines conditions

But, we’ll stick with the idea that every financial trend has a sunrise and a sunset, including this one.

Review this chart and commentary from our Aug. 4 Short Term Update:

Image

When speculation fades as investors narrow their focus into big-cap stocks to the detriment of small-cap stocks, it provides the early-warning basis to watch the stock market’s big-cap indexes closely, because the rising trend has entered its sunset phase. The chart shows just how dramatic the divergence has become. The Russell 2000/Russell 1000 stock ratio made a countertrend rally high on December 8, 2016 and has trended lower, as the DJIA has trended higher. On Aug. 3, the ratio essentially matched its low of the year, with the DJIA pushing to another new high today.

With what has just been discussed in mind, you might be wondering how other bull markets have ended.

Our August Elliott Wave Financial Forecast provides perspective on the two most recent ones:

Many major stock market peaks are battles of attrition … . In 2007, for example, the Small-Cap indexes, Mid-Cap indexes, the Dow Jones Composite Index and the Value Line Indexes all made highs in June-July 2007 and failed to join the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and NASDAQ at new highs in October 2007. In the wake of that non-confirmation, all stock indexes declined in a major bear market … . On rare occasions, a big bull market will end in conjunction with peak optimism. The NASDAQ’s top in 2000 ended after it closed higher 19 out of 21 weeks during its final push to the March 2000 peak.

At this juncture, we don’t know if the end of the current bull market will more closely resemble that of 2007 or 2000.

But, we do have reason to suspect that 2017 will turn out to be a pivotal year.

Relative Strength, aka: who is stronger than spy, or who is cooperating with this “bounce”
Tech and financials (the heaviest weighted sectors in SPY) are above their MAs
SPY could use a bit more help please

Knock three times small caps. At least the ES has pried itself off the floor. Are we setting up for an ugly close?

Dicks Sporting Goods Conference call-
Summer of 2007 Mrs Cats and I drove the 2,000 miles to Chicago area on I-80. I saw an incredible number of new expensive Harley Davidson dealerships along the interstate and thought "This is going to blow up when the liar loans for home equity disappear". I never followed through. Did the same drive three years ago and saw Cabella's and Bass Pro Shops along the interstate, real palaces. Credit card and car loan delinquencies are up and today's conference call said hunting and fishing channel is really overstuffed.

Are those two like Apple, a scared object of investor and brand faith or will they drop like a rock on bad holiday sales?

In Stockcharts.com = $TICK ... [drop down menu choose = "Cumulative" (Replaces "TYPE" = "Candlesticks)].

Small Caps- This third bounce off the low is looking really anemic while the ES tests yesterday's high.
