The Markets
Stocks posted strong gains on Thursday as traders start to neutralize negative bets given the waning downside momentum observed in recent days/weeks. The S&P 500 Index closed higher by 1.50%, retaking levels above its declining 20-day moving average for the first time since the start of June. Declining trendline resistance, representing the upper limit to a declining wedge pattern, was tested at the highs of the day around 3900 as the intermediate path of lower-lows and lower-highs is put to the test. A definitive break above this hurdle could unleash a massive mean reversion move as the overwhelming negative sentiment that has prevailed over the past few weeks is unwound. Friday’s payroll report and the latest read of consumer prices via the Consumer Price Index report for June, slated to be released next week, will have a lot to say about the direction of stocks heading into the third quarter. While the summer rally period for stocks typically persists through the first few weeks of July, stocks can start to falter beyond the first week of the month of July, warranting a heighten level of alertness as we venture more towards the middle of the month and the start of earnings season. Evidence of waning downside pressures can continue to be picked out on the chart, often a precursor event to a turning point of the negative trend of the market.
