The Markets
Stocks drifted lower on Tuesday as investors started to sniff out what Wednesday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report may reveal. The S&P 500 Index closed down by nine-tenths of one percent, reaching back to its declining 20-day moving average that was broken as a level of resistance last week. Momentum indicators are starting to show signs of rolling over again around the mid-point of their ranges, keeping their characteristics of a bearish trend intact. The slide in recent sessions continues to be realized from around the upper limit to the declining wedge pattern, which continues to hint of waning selling pressures, something that the positive divergence with respect to MACD also expresses. The apex of the pattern can be pinpointed around 3500 by the start of September and the buy point to the setup would be deemed upon a breakout of the upper limit of the narrowing range. Our bias is that we see this breakout in the present quarter, but this is merely speculation at present and we will let the price action tell the final story.
