$SPX Big Picture
By: Tom Bowley | May 7, 2024
The monthly PPO continues to push higher and away from centerline support. This is indicative and consistent with how the S&P 500 behaves during secular bull markets. Also, note that RSI 40 support tests have been successful since the financial crisis in 2008/2009. This is another sign that the secular bull market remains alive and kicking.
Both our 10-year and 20-year rate of change (ROC) panels show that highs during this secular bull market have not come close to previous secular bull market highs. It's telling me we still have much further to go.
Sentiment
Let's revisit the 253-day SMA of the equity only put call ratio ($CPCE). I want to refresh everyone's memory as to what happens to the S&P 500 when this sentiment indicator tops with readings showing EXTREME fear:
Bet against this chart at your own risk. Personally, I believe that sentiment plays a much bigger role in stock market direction than most folks give it credit for. Every single major S&P 500 advance during this secular bull market has occurred with a significant top in the 253-day SMA of the CPCE. When this moving average is falling, you want to be on the long side.....PERIOD! This doesn't mean there aren't pullbacks. There simply aren't pullbacks that morph into bear markets.
Rotation/Intermarket Analysis
Here's the latest look at our key intraday ratios as we follow where the money is traveling on an INTRADAY basis (ignoring gaps):
QQQ:SPY
First, a quick reminder. While this chart is named "@SPYQQQ", it's actually the QQQ divided by the SPY. When this line is rising, it means the QQQ is outperforming the SPY ("risk on" environment). When it's falling, it means the SPY is outperforming the QQQ ("risk off" environment). We've clearly been in a downtrend as money has rotated towards defensive- and value-oriented stocks. The past few days, this has changed and you can see the lines turning higher. The key to a sustainable upside move will be the continuation of this ratio to the upside.
