The Markets
Stocks snapped back from last week’s selloff, but the uptick did little to change the bearish perspective that has materialized for major broad market benchmarks. The S&P 500 Index recorded a gain of 1.16%, remaining within the span of Friday’s downside candlestick that saw a violation of prospective levels of support at the 20 and 50-day moving averages. Resistance remains implied between 5622 and 5658, representing the July 17th downside gap. An intermediate-term double-top pattern has become confirmed as the benchmark breaks back below support at 20 and 50-week moving averages around 5500. The chart setup continues to set the stage for ongoing declines that are normal for stocks during the month of September and has enticed us to add the large-cap benchmark to our list of Avoid candidates. MACD remains on a sell signal after crossing below its signal line, confirming the negative divergence versus price that has highlighted the waning of buying demand heading into the traditionally weak month for equity market performance in September. Caution in risk assets remains appropriate, particularly while within this period of seasonal volatility and while the fundamental backdrop appears uncertain.
