The Markets
Stocks closed mixed on Wednesday as traders remain focused on earnings reports expected to be released in the days ahead. The S&P 5oo Index closed with a gain of a mere two basis points (0.02%), continuing to move above support at the 100-day (20-week) moving average and encroaching back on resistance at the 20-day moving average at 5133. Momentum indicators have curled higher, alongside price, reaching back towards the mid-point of their ranges, presenting a critical test as to whether or not characteristics of a bullish trend that dominated between November and March have been lost. The fact that moving averages across all spectrums are no longer expanding above one another raises concerns that the market is setting up for a weaker period ahead as the off-season for stocks gets set to begin in just under a week and a half from now. There remains reason to continue to bet on the positive intermediate-term trend of the equity market while we allow the price action to prove itself that a path of higher-highs and higher-lows is no longer intact and our list of Accumulate candidates still far outnumbers those areas to Avoid, but a defensive shift has developed that we must be cognizant of given the negative implications it imposes on the prevailing path.
