The Economy is breaking. - Fed needs to kill inflation. - Fed is measures future (core) inflation by looking at employment. - Jobs are still strong. Practically, look at XLE, all those oil jobs. - That said, fed can only deal with demand side inflation and has no plan for supply side inflation. - Supply side inflation is the real problem and is controlled by OPEC and China. - Fed needs to kill the economy. Evens predicts 2 125 bps hikes in 22, and no cuts in 23. GG.
The Internals are breaking. - Buyers are exhausted. - Buying rallies are driven by short selling not "investors". - Rallies are gifts to short. - Option positioning remains strongly bearish.
The technicals are poor. - Wave C down incoming, this is the fastest wave down. - We hit supply around 380, showing lack of conviction of sellers. (the bounce was just technical covering). - Earnings compression incoming (hey there Uber, Tsla, and Aapl). - Wait for a short cover rally, wait for it to 'trade on air' for an hour or two, then... pull the trigger. - Targeting the JPM put levels for end of year.
