LONG TERM:
As a 70+% consumer society, it’s disappointing that we’ve lost many of the consumer-demand measures, especially Retail, lime, which led in the 2015 and 2018 rallys.
Caveats:
1) Divergences can last indefinitely.
2) It’s hard for TA devotees to appreciate that Tweets and the FED are now more important, but prices should eventually catch up/down.
Recall that on 8/30 we were alerted [via the St. Louis FED] to the fact that the FED is buying treasuries [that is QE folks].
3) Reminder: If you change the timeframe on a chart, you can get a very different picture.
