Value investing has multiple benefits, particularly for patient investors. Understanding the complexities of a firm’s business operations and translating them into a stock price to compare it with the market price is a tedious process that can provide the right dividends if executed correctly. Theoretically, the field of value investing is now more than a century old. Its fundamentals center on completely ignoring price movements and focusing on intrinsically valuing a stock. This value is then compared to the stock price for determining a margin of safety that the investment would have to overcome to converge with the market price and provide an opportunity to sell the shares and book a profit.

The market’s role in value investing is simply of a “voting machine” with little relation to the actual value that a stock provides. When patiently followed, it has the potential to return billions of dollars in profit through share price appreciation – a fact that has contributed to the massive wealth of famous value investors like Warren Buffett.

However, while the fundamentals of value investing were written in 1930, selecting shares through a quantitative metric dubbed the relative strength index (RSI) is a relatively new theory. The RSI, at its heart, is a momentum oscillator that determines the upward and downward variations in stock prices. It has only positive values that are limited to a maximum of 100 and is often used as part of a technical trading setup which indicates whether a stock is oversold or undersold. Determining whether an RSI reading alone is sufficient to determine if a stock can be bought or sold is the same as using a mean profit of a corporation to determine financial strength without comparing it to peer values.

Reading the index requires understanding its moves, their magnitude, and the frequency of overbought or oversold readings. The frequency of these readings and the levels that they trade at provides details about whether a stock is a bull or a bear run. Crucially, RSI readings and stock prices can also diverge. For instance, a share might have an RSI reading in overbought territory (namely around the 80 level) but, while intuition suggests that an overbought territory should yield a downward price correction, the opposite happens and the shares actually start to rise in value. In this case, conventional wisdom suggests that a price reversal might be in place and lead to a longer downturn.

A bearish signal provided by the RSI is dubbed by its founder as a Failure Swing where the RSI fails to meet previous high readings. This failure of the reading to, for instance, touch 75 but then drop and touch only 73 before dropping again can indicate a potential downturn in the market. The opposite of this can be a bullish indicator, where the RSI crosses the previous high, for example, touches 20 and then crosses 20.

However, while technical indicators can be a nice way of studying individual stocks or other instruments such as currencies, the market as a whole is often influenced by macroeconomic patterns. And in the American economy, banks have decided to change their recession forecasts. This trend was started by Bank of America in its latest U.S. Economic Viewpoint report which expects U.S. economic growth to fall below previous levels but still remain positive. BofA was joined by JPMorgan who also no longer believes that the U.S. economy might be headed for a downturn. In a fresh research note issued late in the trading day on Wednesday, the bank’s chief economist Michael Feroli revised its earlier GDP growth forecast for Q2 2023 to 2.5% from a dismal 0.5% earlier. His shift in viewpoint is influenced by the strong GDP growth rate in the second quarter, which has led the team at the investment bank to doubt that growth can drop from 2.5% to 0.5% within a quarter.

The latest jobs report did not favor any aggressive monetary tightening, and if the inflation readings also indicate that prices continue to drop then the Fed might actually start becoming cautious of rethinking a potential ‘higher for longer’ approach. However, on the flip side, as the GDP growth continues to be robust, as evidenced by analyst thoughts above, then the central bank might also see more leeway in finding the upper range of its interest hiking cycle.

To understand the impact of the latter thought process consider the fact that after JPMorgan revised its recession estimates, the S&P500 dropped from 4,540 points it was trading at during midday to close at 4,478. Seems like Wall Street is also wary of higher interest rates fueled by an optimistic Fed.
