The Markets
Stocks closed marginally higher on Thursday with the S&P 500 Index continuing to knock on the door of the psychologically important 5,000 level. The large-cap benchmark gained a mere 0.06%, still working away at fulfilling the upside potential of the ultra short-term bull flag pattern that was observed in recent days. Short-term support remains embedded at the 20-day moving average (4875) and momentum indicators are maintaining characteristics of a bullish trend above their middle lines. The strength in the past couple of sessions has pushed the benchmark back into overbought territory, but while this could always lead to the risk of short-term buying exhaustion, it is just another attribute of an intermediate-term bullish path. Seasonal tendencies call for strength for stocks through the first half of February, followed by weakness through the back half and this seems like a reasonable bet once the pull towards the important 5,000 level is complete.
