3 days ago by Calculated Risk @ Calculated Risk

This graph shows heavy truck sales since 1967 using data from the BEA. The dashed line is the April 2024 seasonally adjusted annual sales rate (SAAR). Heavy truck sales really collapsed during the great recession, falling to a low of 180 thousand SAAR in May 2009.  Then heavy truck sales increased to a new record high of 570 thousand SAAR in April 2019. <img alt="Heavy Truck Sales" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOTaohR5bY3X2R63BY2UCO5uxe9eXP9y9NymvSU-O2aV07WOKocCurnsTOKCJKDDcXsgHatc9DcM-nWKq1yuUgqpo8ttfPnbFdqHUJuucZfB_8xOJeUh2YRYIIG3OihxbmfQsUXZoEC9XR_8khwLVKgc4SDTtQUUAQunwrmn6bJhn0p0HnvJW/s320/Hea...

A Simple, Quiet Breakout for the Stock Market – The Market Breadth https://drduru.com/onetwentytwo/2024/05/12/simple-quiet-breakout-for-stock-market-the-market-breadth/ Stock Market Commentary I saw a simple test for distinguishing bearish and bullish signals after META’s post-earnings swoon last month. A quick rebound following failed tests at resistance complicated the picture. The price technicals and dynamics returned to simple as a synchronized yet quiet breakout unfolded last week across the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ. I call them quiet because there were no big bang, positive headlines accompanying the breakouts (from my perspective), and the rest of the week “felt” quiet and meandering. Still, the week started with these breakouts and buyers held firm the rest of the week. Thus, the stock market is back to a bullish position. Yet, a rapid slide back into complacency looms over the bullish tone. A simple 50DMA breakdown would be just as bearish as last week’s breakout is bul...
