Tackle Today: Green Shoots

March 1, 2022

«Subtle signs of strength.»

Traders,

Monday’s trading session was constructive when you look beneath the surface. Despite a modest down gap, buyers swarmed to close the Nasdaq & Russell 2000 Index in the green. As a result, my watchlist was littered with stocks that rallied over 3% on the day. Notably, growth stocks added a third day to their winning streak, with ARKK climbing almost 4%.

Sure, the trend is still down, and much work remains and <insert other cautious comments here> but I think the subtle signs of accumulation should be applauded.

Energy continues to dominate the leaderboard. OXY, DVN, and EOG were all big winners. One signal I’m watching for that will add further evidence of a healthier market is the VIX. As long as it remains sticky near 32, expect 2% daily swings, elevated uncertainty, and more overnight gaps.
