Hey Market Pilot, This market is on again-off again as much as the ice cream machine at McDonald’s (MCD), a stock that is mirroring market chop. Take a look at this video where I use MCD as an example of a choppy stock that follows a variety of moving averages at different times. It might … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, While it might seem counterintuitive, the market moved upward strongly after the FOMC raised rates 75 basis points (BPS). The market likely considered it good news that the FOMC did not raise rates by 100 BPS. This is a narrative I have been discussing for a couple weeks now. All of this … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, There are a few economic events in focus that will impact the rest of the week’s price action that I want you to be aware of. First, we have the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) press conference on Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday morning, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers will be released, … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, Copper was once known as the “metal with a PhD” because it was a good measure of economic growth since the metal was used widely in the building process (houses, commercial buildings). The price and consumption of copper had a fairly linear correlation to how much building growth was happening. This was … Read more

Hey Market Pilot, Happy 4th of July! While there is a lot of talk about the markets being so oversold that we should get a bear market rally, I don’t see the spark to light the kindling yet. The SPY has been going sideways for a couple of weeks now and there are potential signs … Read more

The Moxie Indicator™ has been the workhorse for helping find these potential trades. Getting timely alerts helps balance working through both bullish and bearish moves in real-time.
