The Markets
Stocks closed lower on Wednesday as major market benchmarks start to react to resistance around their 200-day moving averages. The S&P 500 Index shed just over seven-tenths of one percent after reaching within one point of its long-term hurdle in the prior session. A digestion of the recent gains is deemed to be underway, one that could see the retest of levels of support below, such as the 20 and 50-day moving averages at 4128 and 3962, respectively. The relative strength index (RSI) has rolled over from overbought territory, falling below 70 and triggering a momentum sell signal. MACD is converging on its signal line in what could amount to a similar sell signal with respect to this indicator in the days ahead. But while these momentum indicators are rolling over, they are no longer showing characteristics of a bearish trend that dominated the first half of the year and the suggestion remains that a new intermediate trend has begun, one where buying the dip will likely prove to be appropriate.
