Biotechs Fall Apart with Dark Cross Neutral Signal

(This is an excerpt from the subscriber-only DP Weekly Wrap for Friday)

Friday, the Biotechnology ETF (IBB) 20-day EMA crossed down through the 50-day EMA (Dark Cross), above the 200-day EMA, generating an IT Trend Model NEUTRAL Signal. IBB recently switched to a BUY Signal on Friday November 8 and we said at the time, “IBB is approaching the top of a four-month trading range (resistance), so this BUY Signal doesn’t look very juicy at this time.” This emphasizes why we consider Trend Model signals to be information flags, not action commands. Always check the chart.

Part of the reason Biotechs fell apart was the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the Health and Human Services department. He is known to be anti-COVID vaccines and just generally not a fan of chemicals for the body. This doesn’t necessarily bode well for this industry.

Participation has been plummeting as more and more stocks lose support at key moving averages. This drop below the 200-day EMA is perilous and given the negative indicators, the decline isn’t likely over yet. The PMO is dropping below the zero line on a Crossover SELL Signal and Stochastics are below 20 signaling extreme weakness. Support is arriving around 130.00, but it doesn’t look good.

The weekly chart shows the breakdown from the rising wedge formation, which is the normal resolution from this formation. The weekly PMO is tumbling lower. Support on the weekly chart is around 123.00. That would be a painful decline added to this already deep decline.
