Last week had one of the strangest events of all time: simultaneous declines in the U.S. dollar index and the S&P 500. This weekly chart includes a special script that calculates the simple change of the main symbol (DXY) and a second symbol (SPX). If they both move in the same direction by a user-defined threshold, the script plots a white arrow in the lower study. Big, coordinated drops are unusual because the two indexes typically move in opposite directions. SPX is a “risk” asset while DXY is a “safe haven.” That’s why stock-market selloffs often see the U.S. dollar rally. Since the data began in 1967, coordinated declines of at least 2 percent have only happened 15 times. This highlights the normal inverse relationship. Adjusting the script’s threshold to -3 percent, we find last week was one of only two on record with coordinated declines. In other words, markets just saw a historic coordinated weakness in both the U.S. dollar and U.S. stocks. European and Chinese benchmarks rallied at the same time, which suggests it wasn’t a pure “risk off” move. These events occur against the backdrop of tariffs and hopes of increased German defense spending. They potentially suggest investors see more opportunity overseas following years of American exceptionalism. The only other time DXY and SPX fell so sharply at the same time was in September 1981. That instance was less meaningful because it was just a quick pullback in the midst of a strong uptrend. Last week, on the other hand, DXY was stuck below an earlier high and could be trending lower. Investors may view this as a freak event. Or they may think it’s a sign of capital moving away from the U.S. Either way, it’s an unusual signal that could merit watching.

The Australian dollar has rallied slightly during the trading session on Monday as we continue to dance around the 50 day EMA. However, the 50 day EMA of course, has been an area that the market comes back and forth from. So, I think we’re still looking at the market as one that is very much stuck in the same range it’s been in for quite some time between the 0.62 level on the bottom, and the 0.64 level on the top.
Hi, Kings and Queens of the Market! Some companies in the stock market stand out as truly exceptional. They belong to an exclusive group known as Dividend Kings—businesses that have increased their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years. As of today, only 54 companies have achieved this rare milestone. This level of consistency is a testament to their financial strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment to rewarding shareholders. In this post, I highlight 8 of these elite companies, pointing out their key financial metrics and providing a detailed technical analysis. By combining fundamental insights with price action, I aim to deliver a comprehensive overview of their long-term strength. Helping you navigate both dividend income and potential capital appreciation opportunities. The Hard Path to Becoming a Dividend King Reaching 50+ years of consecutive dividend growth is no easy feat. Here’s why Only about a few Dividend Kings have ever stopped increasing dividends, usually due to mergers or going private Around 25 companies are approaching Dividend King status, having grown dividends for 40-49 years The probability of reaching 50 years of dividend growth increases with time - 30% for companies with a 20-year streak - 50% for companies with a 30-year streak - 70% for companies with a 40-year streak In 2025, only two companies are expected to achieve Dividend King status, proving how difficult and exclusive this milestone is Why Dividend Kings Matter Dividend Kings excel in stability and long-term performance, thriving through downturns while raising dividends annually. They succeed with: Safe payout ratios, securing dividends with earnings. Recession-resistant businesses that stay strong. Careful debt management to protect payouts. Smart growth strategies that reward shareholders. The Power of Dividend Kings for Passive Income For long-term investors, Dividend Kings represent one of the safest and most consistent sources of passive income Reliable cash flow – Steady, growing dividends perfect for income seekers. Institutional confidence – Favored by big funds and ETFs for their stability. Capital appreciation – Dividend Kings offer both payouts and long-term growth. Finding the Best Dividend Kings for the Next Years In this post, I’ll analyze the strongest Dividend Kings Technical factors – It should be a great starting point to increase their value Fundamental metrics – Including payout ratios, earnings strength, financial stability, and big fund ownership Dividend safety – Ensuring consistent payouts even in market downturns By combining technical analysis and financial fundamentals, I’ll highlight my best long-term dividend stocks for the next years/decades. The Best Dividend Kings Today… Stepan Company (SCL) Sector: Basic Materials What It Does: Produces specialty chemicals, like surfactants and polymers, for consumer and industrial products. Fundamental metrics - Dividend Yield: 1.95% - Payout Ratio: 32.2% - 5-Year Dividend Growth Rate: 6.5% - Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 0.29 - Return on Equity (ROE): 4.56% - Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 45.1 - Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio: 1.45 - Analyst Average Price Target: $89.00 - Consecutive Years of Dividend Increases: 57 Technical factors Since 2021, the price has been moving downward within a descending channel, respecting both its upper resistance and lower support trendlines. Currently, we see a third touch of the lower channel, which could act as support. https://www.tradingview.com/x/5gLVQynW/ Adding to this, the $50 level has historically served as support when the price has traded at these levels. Though it has been a while, historical levels remain relevant. We also have a Fibonacci retracement at 62% (Golden Ratio). While I don’t use Fibonacci often, when drawn from all-time lows to all-time highs and aligning with a key technical zone, it strengthens the case for support. With the channel support, the $50 level, and Fibonacci alignment, a critical price zone forms between $45 and $55. This area is worth watching for potential buying opportunities or reversals. --------------------- Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL) Sector: Consumer Defensive What It Does: Makes branded meat and food products, like SPAM and Skippy. Fundamental metrics - Dividend Yield: 3.77% - Payout Ratio: 76.4% - 5-Year Dividend Growth Rate: 7.7% - Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 0.48 - Return on Equity (ROE): 9.8% - Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 20.5 - Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio: 2.03 - Analyst Average Price Target: $31.00 - Consecutive Years of Dividend Increases: 58 Technical Factors I like the way the price took liquidity and dropped below the 2017 low, only to get rejected from there. Now, it’s coming back for a second retest, which has the potential to hold. https://www.tradingview.com/x/tEkZh2Zt/ If the price drops sharply, like HRL has done in the past, especially between 2022 and 2024, the recovery takes time. Yes, it found liquidity and printed a big Monthly candle in February 2024 but these things don’t play out overnight. It takes time. The current correction looks fairly good, and I can recommend it technically. The criteria aren’t quite there, but I’m leaning on experience and visual patterns to read the setup. And for those looking for confirmation - yes, we have RSI divergence around the bottom, so at least there’s something to work with. ---------------- Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB) - Sector: Consumer Defensive - What It Does: Produces personal care and hygiene products, like Huggies and Kleenex. Fundamental metrics - Dividend Yield: 3.52% - Payout Ratio: 66.8% - 5-Year Dividend Growth Rate: 4.0% - Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 5.18 - Return on Equity (ROE): 231.0% - Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 16.12 - Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio: 35.8 - Analyst Average Price Target: $150.00 - Consecutive Years of Dividend Increases: 53 Technical Factors The story here is simple: we need a monthly close above $150. That would signal a fight back above a key resistance zone, one that has repeatedly rejected price action in the past. https://www.tradingview.com/x/09Hr3XrV/ Yes, the price has been above $150 before, but that move turned out to be a fakeout. After that, $140 has only strengthened as a key support level. Since 2020, the stock has made multiple breakout attempts every year, yet none have had the momentum to sustain a move higher. Dividends will keep coming but if you're looking for both dividends and upside potential, the best approach is patience. Wait for a monthly candle close above $150, and then the stock should have what it takes to climb to higher levels again. --------------------- PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) - Sector: Basic Materials - What It Does: Manufactures paints, coatings, and specialty chemicals. Fundamental metrics - Dividend Yield: 2.2% - Payout Ratio: 40.8% - 5-Year Dividend Growth Rate: 6.1% - Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 0.81 - Return on Equity (ROE): 18.7% - Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 19.8 - Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio: 3.62 - Analyst Average Price Target: $141.00 - Consecutive Years of Dividend Increases: 53 Technical Factors Once again, PPG has arrived near a key support area - almost there. The strong resistance zone from 2014 to 2020 has now started to act as support, a common technical shift when previous ceilings turn into floors. The last test of this level lacked momentum but this time, the setup looks stronger with better confluence factors. https://www.tradingview.com/x/ixgrpxlT/ Keep your eyes on $90 – $100. Several technical elements align in this zone - Two trendlines – One drawn from closing prices, the other from wicks, with the middle point acting as the major zone - A psychological round number at $100, reinforcing the support - 50% retracement from the all-time high - Monthly EMA200, which was respected perfectly during the COVID crash, adding further technical weight Yes, the dividend yield is relatively low, but this setup presents an opportunity to benefit from price growth. The choice is yours - strictly dividends or a combination of growth and yield. --------------------- I hope my take on them has been helpful - now, let’s move on to my favorites! The most interesting candidates from a technical analysis perspective. And let’s be honest, their strength isn’t limited to just charts!

$ENA/USDT 12H chart shows a breakout above the resistance trendline and the 50 EMA, indicating a potential trend reversal. However, the price is currently facing resistance near the previous support-turned-resistance zone. A retest of the trendline breakout is possible before further upside. If the price holds above the trendline and reclaims support, it could confirm a bullish continuation. However, failure to hold may result in a fakeout and further downside. DYOR, NFA

USDCAD Eyes on BoC Interest Rate Decision On Friday, the Bank of Canada reported a contraction in employment data. However, it was positive that the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.6% from the previous month, and the average hourly wages for February were higher than the previous month. Overall, the Canadian economy is performing well. Despite this, USDCAD is expected to advance further in the coming days. On Wednesday, March 12, the BoC will announce its interest rate decision. The market anticipates a rate cut of 25 basis points, bringing the rate down to 2.75% from the current 3%2. This expectation is causing CAD weakness ahead of the news. The price may test our target areas soon. If this does not happen by Wednesday, trading could become riskier. You may find more details in the chart!
