The Markets
Stocks struggled on Thursday in what has become a “yo-yo” market over the past couple of weeks amidst the notorious Santa Claus rally period. The S&P 500 Index closed lower on the session by 1.16%, remaining in a tight consolidation span below 20 and 50-day moving averages and horizontal resistance at 3900. The benchmark appears to be coiling for a big move, one way or the other, and with technical resistance remaining stubborn overhead, seasonal tendencies about to turn negative post holiday rally timeframe, and fundamentals not providing much to be encouraged by, the three-prongs to our approach are aligning to suggest that the risk is lower.The benchmark continues to hold the upside November gap between 3770 and 3860 as a zone of support, a break of which would project a move back to the October low at 3500. The big influence standing in the way of a sustained downside resolution is the very thing that has kept the market capped in recent weeks, which is sentiment. Investors have become excessively bearish and a lopsided bias that is prone to an abrupt unwind has formed. The next major catalyst that the bears will seek to feed off of is directly ahead with the non-farm payroll report for December, providing a gauge of the labor market that has kept the US Fed on its tightening path over the past year.
