Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Arun Chopra (@FusionptCapital). It’s a 15-min candlestick chart of AMTD Digital ($HKD) since its public debut on July 15th. The stock has gone parabolic, surging nearly 13,000% from $13 to $1,679 in less than a month. At one point today, this little-known company surpassed Facebook in market cap. It’s also suspicious that $HKD’s parent company, $AMTD, has a terrible track record underwriting IPOs. This reminds us of something that the legendary technician, Bob Farrell, once said – “Parabolic advances usually go further than you think, but they do not correct by going sideways.” In other words, this thing could continue higher in the short term, but once the momentum disappears, it will likely drop as fast as it rose.

.@NDR_Research's Cycle Composite for 2022 has been spot on. Based on a combination of the 1-yr cycle, 4-yr Presidential cycle, and 10-yr Decennial cycle, the composite provides a good view of seasonal tendencies. It isn't a primary input for us, but can provide useful context. pic.twitter.com/1g7tJTJ45g

Today's rise in the 10-year Treasury yield is the biggest in 5 years, save only two days at the height of the Covid lockdown, and the Monday in June when the Fed leaked its intention to hike by 75bps to the WSJ. pic.twitter.com/qvgzDsVWA6

1/2
A chart of the 10-year yield with Fibs.
The blue line is a 50% of the rise in rates that started on March 7 and ended in mid-June.
Technically it looks like the 50% line (2.58%) was soundly "rejected."
If so, it suggests the rally in bonds over the last six weeks is over. pic.twitter.com/qMPwmuK8tK

AMDT Digital $HKD passes Facebook at $435 billion market cap. One more trading halt and resumption of trading and AMDT will be larger than Berkshire Hathaway. Why spend 57 years compounding when you can get there in two weeks?
