The Markets
Stocks slipped on Thursday after failing to reap the benefit of the massive beat on earnings from tech titan NVIDIA (NVDA). The S&P 500 Index closed with a loss of 1.35%, charting an outside reversal candlestick from the 50-day moving average at 4459. The variable hurdle is now confirmed as a level of resistance, joining the 20-day moving average, which is already pointed lower. Struggle below the 50-day moving average has negative intermediate-term implications for the market, meaning a period of weakness spanning months rather than just weeks. Given that the market has not even reached the halfway point to this period of normal volatility/weakness, this is aligned with the seasonal view for stocks heading towards the end of the third quarter. The rebound of momentum indicators in recent days is showing signs of stalling as the bears use the perceived lack of enthusiasm from the bulls to attempt another downside push. Through the remainder of the month and into the first week of September, selling pressures tend to alleviate surrounding the Labor day holiday period, but the weakest time of the year for the market is directly ahead during the back half of September.
