The stock market “rebalancing” is a polite way to put it. Energy and health care are getting a healthy boost. But tech hardware and software makers are still getting dressed down and have been asked to report to the principal’s office.
The great rotation underway has triggered a series of “Hindenburg Omens.” Five have occurred in recent weeks:

A Hindenburg Omen triggers when the market is in an uptrend but shows deep internal division — specifically, when a high number of stocks simultaneously hit 52-week highs and lows.
As the name implies, a cluster of Hindenburgs is not a good sign. Typically, after five, you can expect either a selloff or an extended absence of new highs.
For now, the sideways grind that continues to impact tech and high-growth plays. Defensive stocks are catching a bid.
“Investors should be cautious going into March and April, which tend to be slow months for the market anyway,” notes Andrew Packer over at our Grey Swan Trading Fraternity. After three straight bull market years, this spring is making traders particularly nervous.
Andrew has positioned that Grey Swan trading portfolio with a “hedge” trade on a broad market drop. And, at the same time, is focusing on sectors that are on the receiving end of money leaving tech, most notably natural resources and energy.
