Stocks Drop On November 3, 2022, And Approach New Lows

By:

Portfolio Manager with Interactive Advisors, CEO of Mott Capital Management

STOCKS – PYPL, ADBE

MACRO – SPY, VIX, TIP, QQQ

Stocks moved lower today, with the S&P 500 dropping by around 1%. It looked like one of those pause days we see pretty often on the charts, in between bigger-sized moves. Tomorrow with the Jobs report, anything is possible, but given the strength of the data in many recent surveys and jobless claims, I think we have seen little, if any, change in the unemployment rate. Estimates are pretty low, with the non-farm payroll rising by around 198,000 and the unemployment rising to 3.6%.

But based on how we have seen these big drops followed by pause days work before, I think we probably continue to head lower and towards filling that gap at 3,580.

S&P 500

TIP

The TIP ETF is very close to making a new low here, and as we have tracked now for a very long time, if the TIP ETF makes a new low, the QQQ ETF won’t be far behind. Watch the TIP ETF tomorrow for clues.

TIPS

VIX

The VIX moved lower today, and we are seeing traders looking for hedges more aligned with the economic data schedule. So you can see that the VIX fell today, but the VIX 9-Day Volatility Index remained in the same range it has been for some time.

VIX

PayPal (PYPL)

PayPal is getting clocked after hours on weak payment volumes and weaker-than-expected revenue guidance. So much for my bull flag and rising RSI. At this point, the stock is in the range that could lead to it retesting the lows around $69.50. After that, you could be talking about a stock that goes under $60 because support thins out after that. It is just amazing what has happened to this stock.

PayPal

Adobe (ADBE)

Adobe fell sharply today, and this has been one of the stocks I like to watch for broader market sentiment. So I will watch closely to see if Adobe will soon make a new low. If it does, it is probably a harbinger of what will come for the rest of the market.

Adobe

So, we will have to wait and see how that job data comes in tomorrow.
