Stocks had a rough Friday after a failed rally attempt on Thursday. The S&P 500 fell by more than 2% on Friday to close the week lower by more than 1.5%. The bearish rising cup-and-handle pattern I had pointed out on Thursday followed through on Friday and resulted in the index's close at 3,583, which took it back to Wednesday’s level.
Typically, a rising cup-and-handle pattern returns to the cup’s lows, around 3,500. Additionally, the decline on Friday serves as a rejection of the Thursday rally, and Friday sell-offs typically follow through into Monday.
The NYSE Advance-Decline made a new low on Friday, perhaps leading the way to a new low in the S&P 500. It would suggest that the lows on Thursday were not a capitulating event, and the lows for the market are probably not in.
10-Year Yield
Additionally, rates continue to rise, and it’s hard for me to think that we could continue to see rates rise and equity prices bottom. So, as long as rates continue to make new highs, then stocks should continue to make new lows. The 10-year yield made a new closing high from Friday, finishing the day at 4.02%. A forecast of the more recent move higher off the Oct. 4 lows suggests the 10-year could climb to around 4.4%.
ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK)
Well, so much for ARKK rallying. The ETF continues its descent, as the RSI suggested the other day. At this point, one can only hope it finds some support at the lower end of its trading channel at approximately $31.50.
Tesla will report results this week, and the chart looks awful, as it has traded just slightly below support at $205. If that support level breaks, there is nothing until $180. And, of course, there is that gap at $137 that still needs to be filled.
Amazon (AMZN)
With Amazon giving back all of those summertime gains, it might as well retest the lows around $102. I think we will find out that $102 is not the bottom.
Netflix (NFLX)
Netflix looks like it is in a distribution pattern, suggesting the shares may return to where the rally started at $170.
Twilio (TWLO)
Twilio keeps melting as well, and with support now in play at $63, a drop to $44 has become a possibility.
We can finish off with one of my favorites. Roku is just melting away, trading at levels not seen since 2019, and with a gap to fill at $34, I think there is still a good chance it will get there.
