Boyz to Men — Step Back to Small Caps & Growth Stocks

We started this year looking at the monthly charts and the 2 moving averages that depict business cycles.

Back in February, we wrote:

All in all, the key sectors (retail, transportation) have more to prove, especially by clearing the 23-month moving average or 2-year business cycle. This is a significant level, as these sectors proved recession was held off when they both held the 80-month moving average or their 6-7 year business cycle low. So, after 2021 was a huge up year and 2022 was a huge down year, 2023, if it clears a 2 year cycle, that looks way better for the economy and market.

Subsequently, Retail (XRT) never cleared the 23-month MA, while Transportation (IYT) did. That prevented us from feeling too confident in a sustaining rally with retail weak.

However, as you can see, the picture has changed.

Retail (XRT) threatens the 80-month moving average once again. Transportation (IYT) has failed the 23-month in September. That gives us two reliable indicators for moving ahead.

Can Retail hold the 80-month MA? If not, here comes recession.

Or can IYT return over the 23-month, engendering more confidence?

Perhaps the small caps and NASDAQ index can shed more light. Small-caps (IWM) fell below the 23-month MA after spending only one month above it. The failure in August to hold above the blue line or 2-year business cycles is a pretty clear sign the higher rates are having an impact on the Granddaddy of the US economy.

Conversely, NASDAQ QQQ broke above the 2-year business cycle high in May 2023. Price ran from $328 to $388 in 3 months as AI and growth have been the winners for a long time. This move lower can see a retracement in QQQ back to 328. After that, so much depends on what happens with IWM, XRT, and IYT.

Nonetheless, one thing is safe to presume. If XRT keeps recession at bay and IYT can rebound back into some expansion, growth will continue to outperform. And if XRT indicates a recession is coming, and IYT plus IWM fail their 80-month MAs, QQQ may still outperform. But we would wait for a move down to 275 as the better buy opportunity in that index.

This is for educational purposes only. Trading comes with risk.
