The Markets
Stocks gained on Wednesday as the market continues to try to solidify a footing ahead of the start of earnings season ahead. The S&P 500 Index gained just over a third of one percent, ending just slightly above the declining 20-day moving average for the first time since the start of June. A higher short-term low above the June bottom continues to become apparent in what could draw in the broad participation that we had been seeking for of the summer rally period for stocks that stretches through the first few weeks of July. Price remains within the limits of a declining wedge pattern, which is indication of waning selling momentum as the bears start to lose their grip on the downside trajectory. The buy point for such as setup is typically realized upon a breakout of the upper-limit of the narrowing range, which, in this case, is around 3900, or a mere 30-points above Wednesday’s high. As highlighted in our monthly report, segments of the market that led the downside momentum through the first half of the year are increasingly showing signs of bottoming, setting the stage for what could be the first reliable rebound attempt in the market since the end of March mean-reversion rally.
