"... what started with simple short covering has spread into long selling, and the momentum unwind is now global."
See Chart:
2-Day Return of Sector – Neutral Momentum Factor

The four factors governing the unwind according to the MS strategist remain: i) volatility (VaRs),  ii) P/L,   iii) the calendar, and   iv) fundamentals.
1-Higher portfolio volatility (VaR) means less ability to take risk, and all else equal this should mean lower leverage and a continued de-grossing
2-Most investors are still comfortably up on the year, which should slow a de-grossing.  But given the size of this P/L shock and a rising focus on year-end, investor sentiment is poor and ability to buy dips is deteriorating.
3-In Morgan Stanley's client conversations over the last two days, most investors are looking at this largely as a positioning-driven move, and not seeking to structurally change their portfolios.  "This means that without a fundamental catalyst, this unwind is likely on the order of weeks instead of a multi-month regime shift", according to Metli.
4-That said, portfolios are fragile should there be a fundamental shock, this could continue to be very ugly and last much longer.

As a result, Morgan Stanley believes traders should be sensitive to other potential accelerants of an unwind:
  • The unwind could put more pressure on quant P/Ls, lessening their ability to provide liquidity and market making services to the larger market. The underperformance of sector-neutral momentum versus momentum that has sector tilts (sector-neutral more quant vs sector-tilt more discretionary) is worrisome here, according to MS.
  • CTAs and Risk Parity funds that are long bonds could need to sell if bond yields continue to rise, pushing bond yields higher still which could exacerbate the short squeezes in Value and the laggard leg of Momentum.
  • Derisking leading to more aggressive selling of longs, which can put pressure on broader markets and impact a broader set of investors (i.e. a replay of 4Q18).

With that in mind, here is how the unwind looks so far compared to prior moves:
The median momentum move from peak to trough typically lasts 34 trading days and sees a -25% return (of which -20% comes from a rally in the short leg).  This selloff has lasted only 26% of the typical duration of a selloff, but has already moved 75% of the way to the median in terms of price.
See Chart:
Current Momentum Selloff relative to previous events

See table added to previous chart:

The above periods are selected by taking selloffs of 15% or more, separated if there was a 10-15% rally in between.  But some of these declines can cluster, and cumulative momentum declines can get much worse with historical max drawdowns from peak of -30% or more.
See Chart:
Momentum Rolling  1-year Max Drawdown

Notably SPX returns were typically positive after large Momentum declines, either way you measure it.
Yet while JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley disagree on the duration of the current move, they both agree on one key feature of the recent violent whiplash: namely, that this move is incredibly painful because both the longs and the shorts are moving counter to positioning – the long leg of Momentum (reflective of consensus longs – Tech, Defensives) is selling off and the long leg (reflective of consensus shorts – Cyclicals, Value) is rallying.  In fact, according to Morgan Stanley, over the last week the long leg selloff has been a 1 standard deviation event, and the short leg has rallied 4 standard deviations. And the punchline: "there have only been 7 other weeks since 1999 where both the long and the short leg converged by more than 1 standard deviations each."

Yet the disagreement between the two quants prompts reasserts itself as Metli issues a warning to Kolanovic, who sees a continuation of the current move as a bullish outcome, one which will ultimately lift most of the neglected risk assets: to the Morgan Stanley strategist, that could not be further from the truth, because "what started with simple short covering has spread into long selling, and the momentum unwind is now global.  This means it is impacting a broader array of investors and could drive spillover into overall market if it persists."

In parting, Morgan Stanley notes that while the price action has been violent, and the likelihood of a protracted move is small, the bank's quants warn that only a small part of the excesses it flagged as risks in "What if Everyone is Wrong?" have been worked off.  As such, factor valuations still remain painfully stretched...

At the end of the day, it all goes back to central banks, and how much longer they will be able to delay the moment of historic mean reversion, i.e. to before the moment where central banks became equity market activists, and which - if Albert Edwards is right - WILL SEND THE S&P BACK TO THE "GENERATIONAL LOW" OF 666, IF NOT LOWER.
