See why this sector has potential for massive earnings gains [Trade of the Day Logo] [View in browser]( [Image of a smartphone with the Amgen app]( ["Now that we're entering into a Fed Rate-Cutting Cycle Here in 2024, this could offer biotech the time to shine."]( Bryan Bottarelli, Founder, The War Room [Bryan Bottarelli] Last week, we had a rash of tech earnings that dominated the release calendar - highlighted by META Platforms Inc. (META) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN). This week, biotech will take center stage - with names like Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (VRTX), Amgen Inc. (AMGN), Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), and Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) set to report. Could this offer you a trigger catalyst to play a name such as VanEck Biotech ETF (BBH), which has their top three holdings as Amgen, Vertex, and Gilead? Here's why I believe the answer is "Yes"... [Trade AFTER Closing Bell (the Dark Ticker)]( [Stock Market City]( Now you can trade an exclusive ticker (from 4 to 4:15 p.m.) for the chance at overnight gains as high as 197%. [Discover the Dark Ticker for Yourself]( Last year, the entire biotech sector was a major laggard. For instance, look at these returns.... Biotech: Major Laggard in 2023 - SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) gained only +7.6% in 2023 - iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) gained only +3.8% in 2023 - SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF (XPH) gained only +1.6% in 2023 As you can see, all of these top biotech funds severely underperformed the S&P 500's gain of +24%. Why? Fed Rate Hikes Since so many biotech firms borrow capital for research and development - when the Fed is aggressively raising rates - money gets expensive - and cash-burning biotech companies get crushed. But guess what? Here in 2024, we're expecting Fed rate cuts. This could be the trigger for biotech to bounce back hard. After a year of under-performance, the VanEck Biotech ETF BBH is now starting to poke above $168. If this can continue, and it stays above this year-long resistance level - that could be an early indication that higher prices are coming. [Biotech ETF Could Rise Higher]( [Logo] YOUR ACTION PLAN Now that we're entering into a Fed rate-cutting cycle here in 2024, this could offer biotech the time to shine. And with a series of high-profile earnings reports scheduled for this week, now could be the time to start that upside swing. After an under-performance in 2023, I fully expect a stronger 2024 - which is why I'm already starting to get my War Room traders positioned for a big biotech year.

[Details here.]( [Chart] MONDAY MARKET MINUTE - Another Potential Oil Price Shock: If you connect the 2019 news flow with what's happening now, then it's reasonable to say another big price change is possible. Here's the logic.... - Oil prices tend to trade with a "risk premium" - which increases or decreases based on geo-political uncertainty. Back in 2019, Iranian- backed forces attacked assets in the Persian Gulf, which impacted more than half of Saudi Arabia's production. This singular event caused oil prices to spike 10% in one day. If you look at what's happening right now, it appears like a similar playbook is playing out just like it did in 2019. Tracking. - Running with the Deerevil: Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) shares are indicated to hit an all-time high this morning after profits topped expectations - which should also be a signal that strength in John Deere (Nasdaq: DE) is coming as well. We could have a pair-trade in the works. More to come. - Delta (NYSE: DAL) Has upside: In the midst of all the Boeing (NYSE: BA) uncertainty, it's worth noting that Delta Airlines is the US airliner with the least exposure to Boeing aircrafts. They're already Wall Street's #1 airline stock, with 96% of analysts raying shares a "buy" - with the average price target around $54.00, which represents 35% upside from current levels. - Tech Ready for the Next Level: Based on what we saw last week in the tech sector, its' time to start looking at the next evolution in the technology arch - which leads to GitLab (Nasdaq: GTLB) and Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) GTLB provides tools to coders - which is critical as AI advances at such a rapid pace. Snowflake is a leading cloud-based data platform - and both names will (in my view) lead the charge for tech going forward. Both names are ones to watch here in early 2024. --------------------------------------------------------------- INSIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED [Earnings Season]( [Did You Make Money During Earnings Week?]( [Image of pipes]( [Biden's Tragic Blunder]( [Good Energy, Great Dividends!]( [Good Energy, Great Dividends!]( [Playing The Pullback On This Stock]( [Taking a Shot at a Pullback on This Stock]( [Instagram]( [Follow Us on Instagram!]( [FACEBOOK]( [YOUTUBE]( [Trade of the Day App Banner]( [Monument Traders Alliance] Monument Traders Alliance, LLC You are receiving this email because you subscribed to Trade of the Day.
