Are Yields, Transports, Small Cap Stocks Twin-Peaking At Same Time?
Chris Kimble | Dec 02, 2021 09:47AM ET
Uncertainty is mounting as the new Omicron COVID variant adds to economic concerns like inflation.
This week, I shared an article looking at on the Transportation Sector (iShares Transportation Average ETF (NYSE:IYT)) and small-cap Russell 2000 Index (iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM)).
Here we revisit these charts and topping formation, while introducing another potential warning sign.
As you can see in today’s chart 3-pack, we added the 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield to the mix. In 2018, yields, transports and small caps peaked at the same time. Then, in 2020 they bottomed together during the COVID crisis.
Twin Peaks Once Again?
Could this trio be topping again in 2021? Bearish divergences (lower highs) have emerged and offer the potential for more downside. In my humble opinion, bulls better step up and turn this situation around – and soon. Stay tuned.
