Short HD; you can do it, I can help.A couple of indicators are showing divergence for the past week or so, as HD has melted up choppily. It needs some relief and is being sustained by erstwhile investors scrambling for a safe investment in a volatile bond market when the banks can't be counted on to manage their risk. I'd suspect that this could continue a little bit, but within the next week or so as the market changes again this should take a pounding.
Note the marked divergences and the weakness of the indicators after we passed the shaded area. Today might well be the double top we need to leg it down.
The way I see it, the weak technical picture hides an interesting scenario; bond yields calm, money flows back into more conditional investments like tech (this will keep happening to a lesser extent everytime yields 'decline' and consolidate) and away from HD. Bond yields increase and the market panics. Bond yields stay the same and people go back to their riskier bets. In all scenarios HD and other builder, stocks decline in the interum. Perhaps they'll pickup before earnings but they need price discovery now.
