His indicators signalled high risk yesterday, for the first time in many months. The reason is market breadth is terrible--AI and energy only are making gangbuster returns. This is unhealthy and can't last. His bearometer looks at sentiment (too enthusiastic), seasonality (not good), breadth, valuation (high), momentum and other factors.

A classic downhill chart that seems to be leveling off. Now, we see a transition based on a March low and slightly higher April low. It's a consolidation pattern. Scores 6/10. If the chart breaks out, it will be quite bullish.

The chart has broken down; an old support level became resistance and has been falling since. Wants to see the chart settle first. The chart has broken lows from 2022 and 2023 and is below that.

The dividend is 16%, which is a clue. The market fears the dividend will be cut. The chart has been hammered--something happened to it. Is a sharp decline in the chart. Avoid.

The old high was above $90, happening twice since 2024, but the breakouts didn't last. Tariffs effect them? Probably. Avoid.

Was stuck in a range until breaking out in 2025. Since then, is seeing marginally higher highs. It's now consolidating. If you own, hold on. If it breaks out, buy, but this could remain in consolidation for a while.

If the consolidation pattern has big enough swings (i.e. Shopify), then the stock is tradable, but if the swings are less than 10%, don't bother. With the latter, wait for the breakout.

The chart is consolidating and could go sideways for a long time. You can trade this stock. But if it broke out (possible, maybe), it'd probably hit $36.

He bought at the bottom of their range and sold at the top. Many times this has broken out, many times it has failed to sustain that. The blockage of oil in the Middle East effects everyone. He would sell shares soon.

The past year, it was making higher highs and higher lows, then fell. But is moving higher recently. Is a decent change it could hit its last high. But there will be sellers at $490. It the stock breaks that, it could move into the $500s. Could be an aggressive play.

The five-year chart looks good. Since early 2025, the chart shows higher highs and higher lows. Likes it.

The chart sank and was choppy in spring 2025 during the tariffs, then his arced higher, looking parabolic. Is enjoying a nice breakout now and will probably continue.

He's selling it. The stock is breaking down. In March, it showed signs of low, retracing a support level, but the chart shows lower lows and lower highs.

Anything not tech or energy is not up now. But likes it. He expects market breadth to expand and this to return to highs.

He likes agriculture and hard asset plays.
