The Importance of Following Momentum

Michael Oliver's work on momentum analysis reveals the significance of following momentum rather than solely focusing on price when assessing asset classes and markets. By examining the world through a momentum lens, a different and sometimes challenging picture emerges. The analysis takes into account long-term trend momentum measured against moving averages, providing a visual representation of reality that may differ from price charts. Michael's work emphasizes the unwinding of errors made during a 12-year stock market bubble, fueled by monetary inflation and near-zero interest rates. As false assumptions unravel, the market faces significant corrections and disruptions, with the effects being felt on both individual and institutional levels.

Joining me for the final episode of The Grant Williams Podcast in 2023 is returning guest, Michael Oliver, the brains behind Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA) – one of the most original and, in my experience, accurate forecasters of asset prices right across the spectrum.

In a hugely enjoyable conversation, we discuss the current state of the markets and what to expect in 2024. Michael explains his unique approach to technical analysis, which focuses on momentum rather than price, and emphasizes the importance of looking at long-term trend structures and how they can provide a different perspective on market patterns.

Also under the microscope are the potential impact of the upcoming US elections and the increasing division in the country. Michael explains why he believes that there is no outcome of the election that will be peaceful and that this could have significant implications for the markets.

Lastly, he also highlights the potential for a rally in gold and commodity-related stocks. Whichever way you cut it, Michael’s analysis suggests that investors should be cautious in the face of potential market volatility in the coming year.
