The Markets
Stocks closely slightly higher on Tuesday as the technology sector continues to rebound from recent weakness. The S&P 500 Index ended with a gain of just over four-tenths of one percent, reaching up to implied levels of resistance at the 20 and 50-day moving averages (5550 and 5505). Resistance remains implied between 5622 and 5658, representing the July 17th downside gap. An intermediate-term double-top pattern has become confirmed, a chart setup that 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.
