The Markets
The market is certainly providing indication that we shouldn’t overstay our welcome in risk assets (stocks) as the best six month trend for equities nears its average peak. The S&P 500 Index closed lower by 1.16%, pulling back to the lower bound of the range of resistance between 4100 and 4200 that it has been struggling with for the better part of a year. MACD remains on a sell signal that was triggered last week and the momentum indicator is showing signs of pushing lower again as it rolls over below previous trendline support that kept momentum on a positive tilt since the October low. The congestion of major moving averages between 3950 and 4050 remain in positions of support. Overall, while the lack of upside momentum in the market remains obvious, something that threatens a reset/pullback of equity prices moving forward, Tuesday’s shakeout was far from the death-blow to signal, definitively, that a peak to the best six month of the year trend is in. We remain cognizant of the degradation of core-cyclical sectors and various segments that we have no desire to participate in anyways, according to our chart books, as we transition into the risk-off time of the year for stocks starting in May.
