Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Here's the recording for this morning's Chaikin Power User trading meeting. With oil selling off HARD, we're not sure we'd take this OS Buy trade with real money. Kinda glad we're testing signals, though. Good to see how they stand up despite market conditions.
Join us for another Relative Strength Wednesday. Energy continues to show strength, as does Tech. As of late Basic materials are also starting to catch a bid. Follow us through our entire relative strength Wednesday analysis HERE

...where the predictive properties sectpr Power-Bar differentials suggest where they're headed next. The interest rate sensitive Utility and Real Estate sectors moved lower along with bonds last week, and Power Bar differentials suggest weakness will continue. Meanwhile, the commodity really continues to accelerate, with Basic Materials Power-bar Differentials pulling to even and ahead of the SPY. XLB has put in strong relative performance over the past 30 days. If we drill down further, XLB sub-sector component XME is now in the top 1/3 of the 22 US market sub-sectors. The miners have joined oil companies as benefactors of the commodity rally. ![]() 5% of the market cap weight of XME comes from Bullish rated Cleveland Cliffs, which appears to be undergoing a "personality change" at the moment (market and model in agreement as the long term Chaikin trend turns higher). These are the types of set-ups that have offered us long-running trends and high double digit returns in the past. We'll be looking for CLF to clear overbought conditions and then bust through resistance at $9 to mark our entry point.

Video Here Traders have positioned against interest rate sensitive areas of the market like Utilities and and Real Estate, while moving money into Energy and Tech. The mostly fundamental weighted Chaikin Power-bar differentials show promise for Healthcare and Financials too. We'll look for Best of Best stocks in Industry Groups within those sectors showing relative strength in multiple timeframes for bullish trades if the market trend cooperates.
Macro-Monday, powered by Chaikin Analytics. US Small Caps and Commodities (ok, oil) top the relative performance chart, and the equity market has moved to neutral/positive potential status based on the market conditions we track. Today, we entered long and short trades because, while we're seeing broader sector participation in the current market snapback, it's by no means universal Video Here
