Equity Clock - Market Outlook for December 16, 2022
While there are arguments for and against the notorious Santa Claus rally period ahead, a positive bias of this timeframe is traditionally warranted.

The Markets
Stocks dipped on Thursday as a slate of downbeat economic reports forced investors to hit the sell button. The S&P 500 Index plunged by 2.49%, showing ongoing negative reaction to declining trendline resistance overhead, now hovering around 4050. Horizontal support at 3900 was tested and slightly breached around the lows of the day, but the break of this pivotal point of horizontal support was by no means conclusive. The rising 50-day moving average at 3861 remains in a position of support to the intermediate-term trend, a hurdle that we will be looking towards to provide the footing to the Santa Claus rally that is slated to begin in the days ahead. Remember, the first half of the month is dictated by tax-loss selling/end-of-year portfolio rebalancing, a tendency that we have indicated in recent days as perhaps being more prolonged this year given the significant uncertainty that the market exhibited in recent days amidst the release of the November CPI report and the FOMC announcement. The negative impact from these end of year portfolio transactions could continue into the new week before traders start to step away from their desks for the end of year holidays, resulting in the normal holiday influenced uptick in prices that runs through to the start of the new year.The techicals continue to provide an ominous backdrop going into this traditionally upbeat timeframe ahead, but it is difficult to sustain negative momentum through this upbeat period ahead given that investors will not desire to be offside while enjoying the time off through year end.
