The Markets
Stocks closed fairly mixed on Monday as hints of upside exhaustion emerge in the much loved growth trade. The S&P 500 Index closed down by just less than one-tenth of one percent, erasing the gain that was recorded intraday above the psychologically important 5,000 level. The indecision candlestick at these record heights speaks to trader scrutiny over valuations that have become stretched following the bull market run since last October’s low. Support remains well defined at the rising 20-day moving average (4899) with the 50-day average (4779) in a position of a backstop should the shorter-term hurdle fail. Intermediate-term, characteristics of a bullish trend remain with moving averages rising above one another and momentum indicators holding above their middle lines. The back half of February is the logical time to see a short-term digestive move that Monday’s candlestick is starting to hint of; the large-cap benchmark has shed an average of two-thirds of one percent in the back half of the month with 56% of periods showing declines over the past five decades.As we have stated in previous reports, this seems like a reasonable bet to see this trade-down through the weeks ahead as stocks take a breather.
