Description

In this video we don't focus on the strongest stocks, but on ETFs down more than 50%.
A contrarian analysis looks at fallen angels: ETFs with deep drawdowns,
where a round bottom and a recovery structure can emerge.
We are researching ARKG (genomics), CTEC (cleantech) and KROP (agri/food innovation)
using RFS (Relative Folder Strength) and the RS Study with 55 EMAs.

Learn to Invest guide.

What we cover

  • Contrarian approach: ETFs with declines >50% and potential recovery.
  • Drawdowns: round soil formations that can last for years.
  • ETF selection: ARKG, CTEC and KROP as examples.
  • Analysis tools: RFS and 55 EMA, both daily and weekly.
  • Signals: Rising green EMA, outperforming vs. S&P 500.

Case studies

  1. Twist Bioscience (TWST) – ARKG: rounded bottom, breakout above $61 with volume = positive.
  2. Bloom Energy (BE) – CTEC: big jump from $10 to $28; retest to $21 or $18 interesting as long as >$18.
  3. Deere & Co (DE) – KROP: 4 years of consolidation; improvement visible, but higher high needed.

Key points

  • ETFs as cases: provide insight and distribution.
  • EMA & RS: main signal is rising green 55 EMA.
  • Patience: round bottoms can last several years.
  • Contrarian: requires a distinctive approach and risk management.

Common pitfalls

  • Boarding too early: without rounded structure = falling knife.
  • Overestimating news: Price and RS provide evidence, not stories.
  • No invalidation: always know where you are wrong.
  • Position too large: Thematic ETFs are volatile, scale smart.
