Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video
Stocks fell sharply on Tuesday as the market reacted to testimony from Fed Chairman Powell. The Dollar surged and gold fell, but the 20+ Yr Treasury Bond ETF actually advanced on the day. Based on Powell’s testimony, one would have expected TLT to fall sharply. The short-term breakout in SPY is getting a test and TLT continues to firm. An upside breakout in TLT could be positive for stocks because these two are mostly positively correlated. An upside breakout in TLT would imply a short-term reversal in the 10-yr Treasury Yield and falling yields could be positive for high beta stocks. TLT has yet to break out and many tech ETFs remain in pullback mode. Today’s video will highlight the patterns and resistance levels to watch for these pullbacks.
