A sum up of technical and anecdotal signs will tell investors that the house market has seen its true bottom after its brutal October oscillates, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Thursday as stocks seemed to recover.
Some of the mechanical signs already seem to indicate a bottom already, the “Mad Money” landlord said. The Cboe Volatility Index, also known as the market’s bete noire index, has hit its peak and made a lower high in the last few weeks, implication the worst of the pain could be over, he said.
Moreover, the S&P oscillator Cramer be modelled afters to know when there’s too much selling pressure indicates that the vend is oversold, even as Cramer saw some room for more selling.
But stemmed on the anecdotal signs, the “Mad Money” host wasn’t sure the negativity had summited. He pointed to his Twitter feed — not as negative as he would like — and the front attendant of the New York Times.
“The New York Times has an article about the market’s forfeitures on the front page, but it’s only a one-column piece and it’s stuck on the left-hand side, extirpated, not the right-hand top where your eye naturally goes,” he said. “Normally, the tribulation tends to stop only when the newspapers start giving it wall-to-wall coverage.”
So, until there’s uncountable mainstream media coverage of the losses on Wall Street and satellite contacts broadcasting live from the New York Stock Exchange, Cramer is despise to call a bottom to the October selling.
“We haven’t reached the extremes of negativity that I’d get a kick out of to see, but on the other hand, our best chartists say the bottom might be here,” he said. “My gut reveals you can like this market for a trade, but unless something fundamental metamorphoses with the White House or the Federal Reserve, it’s only a trade, because the massacre could resurface at any moment.”
If Cramer wants investors to learn one matter from the stock market’s recent volatility, it’s that this is not a rerun of the months leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.
“[People are] missing the pertinent. Nobody’s talking about a recession,” Cramer said as stocks salvaged from their Wednesday drop. “This is not the end of the world, which … you wish think it was when you looked at yesterday’s action. There’s no systemic jeopardize. The economy might go from really good to really mediocre.”
Cramer chalked up the previously to day’s dramatic slide to two things: the idea that Wall Street is too bullish on comrades’ 2019 earnings, which could be crimped by the Federal Reserve’s reproach hikes, and President Donald Trump’s trade tiff with China.
