Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Steve Strazza (@sstrazza). It’s a weekly candlestick chart of the Bank ETF, $KBE, over the past 16-years. The heaviest weighted stocks in this ETF include $VOYA, $SBNY, $STL, $CMA, and $WBS. Steve points out that this Bank ETF is flirting with its pre-Financial crisis highs around $60. The recent strength in Banks and Financials has been driven by rising Treasury yields and a steepening yield curve. In a comment to The Chart Report, Steve said, “The banks are loving the fact that interest rates are moving higher. If you take a look at the 10-year yield, it’s attempting to break out of a nine-month base, with resistance around 1.75%. Rising rates might be painful if you’re overweight Growth/Tech stocks, but cyclical areas of the market like Financials and Energy tend to do well in a rising rate environment.”

$SPY – So long as the S&P 500 continues to rise within the red channel, I'll remain bullish. A break below the green trendline could signal a yellow light for risk. A break below the lower-bound of the channel would decrease my risk appetite for equities. Two-day candles: pic.twitter.com/kF13W8ctZA

FWIW: growth/value correlaton seems to drop late in a bull run. And last year, we saw the highest negative correlation in at least 20yrs. $SPY $VUG $VTV pic.twitter.com/89WqVx3wzJ

Most important chart for 2022 (besides the daily $SPX, of course)? Ten year yield, hands down. Break above 1.75 opens the door to 2.0+ and note the relative performance of small cap value vs. growth, bottom panel. $TNX $IWN $IWO pic.twitter.com/HEMVRvzMS7

I remain constructive on BTC & ETH over the long-term (and still see $100k as fair value for BTC in a few years based on my supply/demand models). But there is no denying that the short-term charts don’t look great. (THREAD) pic.twitter.com/kT1SpGWJTg
