Morgan Stanley says the S&P 500 could drop 26% in months

Expensive US equities are flashing a warning sign that could see the S&P 500
sliding as much as 26% in the first half of this year,
according to Morgan Stanley strategists.

==================================================

" Theoretically, stretched valuations are no hurdle for equities as long
as corporate profits are able to catch up.

Whether that will happen again this time is the biggest question facing equity investors today.
In the eyes of Ed Yardeni, the founder of his namesake firm,
the PEG ratio reflects two warring narratives —
one showing investors are willing to look past any short-term roadblocks and pay up for stocks,
and another reflecting mounting skepticism over growth.

“It’s signaling caution because you got a tug of war between the relative pessimism
of analysts and the relative optimism of investors,” Yardeni said.

“It may just turn out that it’s a tug of war where neither side makes any progress,
which is what it could be for a little while.”



Since June, the S&P 500 has been mostly stuck in an 800-point band,
creating headaches for bulls and bears alike.
Over the stretch, the index’s closing prices averaged at 3,939 —
about 30 points away from where it ended Friday.

With the benchmark gauge surging as much as 17% from its October low,
some market watchers have viewed the rebound as the start of a new bull market.

To David Donabedian, chief investment officer of CIBC Private Wealth US,
it’s too early to call the all-clear given stocks have yet to start looking like bargains.
“It didn’t say that back in October either when we had the beginning of this market rally,
” Donabedian said.

"So to me, we have not seen that capitulation phase that every bear market
has where investors throw in the towel, give up hope and you get a market
that looks objectively inexpensive. We’re not there yet.”

both NYSE McClellan Oscillators' daily values have printed Negative for 12 consecutive days:

1. NYSE All-Issues McClellan Oscillator
2. NYSE Common-Stocks-Only McClellan Oscillator

* the All-Issues & the CSO Advance-Decline lines remain in a mildly vulnerable bullish setup for now
because they rest above their rising 50-day SMA's

* Note the McClellan Oscillator values displayed Positively Divergent higher lows in
October 2022 vs. the September 2022 lows ... institutions closely watch
for McO prints that display Pos Divg or Neg Divg

Scott's daily ROC-25 charts for each major index,
smoothed with two moving averages for the purposes of:

1. ROC-25 moving average crossover vigilance ( ROC stands for Rate of Change )
&
2. zero line crosses by either one of the two ROC moving averages are in a bullish location if above the ROC zero line
and
in a bearish location if below the ROC zero line ...

which are optimally both required to confirm the probable directional Staying Power of any future
upward or downward price action

* the ROC-25 smoothed with the 55-day EMA and also smoothed
with the 5-day EMA are pointing downward toward the ROC zero line
for all indices,
with the exception of the ROC-25 55-day smoothing for the
$COMPQ ROC-25, updated for Monday's February 27, 2023 close

* Note - veteran technicians consider the $VLE technicals as especially reliable for divining the US market direction

complimentary chart -

shown above is a daily chart showing the cumulative version
of the McClellan Oscillator for the NYSE Common-Stocks-Only data set
which currently shows the cumulative McO pointing downward toward the cumulative McO zero line
and also below its rising 30-day simple moving average for a considerable # of trading days,

which represents a warning sign for the ongoing health status of the US equity market
and
is what I consider an item not to ignore, as Arthur Hill, CMT likes to say
for special warnings when they occur

( as stated in prior months, Scott is now deceased nearly two years )

Note - SPY price history is adjusted downward by the amount of each

Scott's daily charts for five indices showing
the ROC-25 smoothed with the 5-day EMA & 55-day EMA
for trend interpretation of the positive or negative net
Buying Power when compared to the ROC zero line -

* Scott (RIP) smoothed the ROC in order to avoid trend identification whipsaw

SPY - 5 EMA has risen since Jan. 9 and both EMA's rest near zero line all of this week

$SPX - 5 EMA has risen since Jan. 9 and both EMA's rest near zero line all of this week

$VLE - both EMA's rest above zero line for 2 weeks

$NYA - both EMA's rest above zero line for 2 weeks

$COMPQ - both EMA's rest below zero line since mid-December ... rising since early January

" The Rate-of-Change oscillator measures the speed at which prices are changing.
An upward surge in the Rate-of-Change reflects a sharp price advance.
A downward plunge indicates a steep price decline.
Sustained advances often start with a big surge out of the gate.

Subsequent advances are usually less sharp and this causes
a bearish divergence to form in the Rate-of-Change oscillator.

It is important to remember that prices are constantly increasing as long
as the Rate-of-Change remains positive. "
