The Markets
Stocks closed slightly higher on Wednesday, shaking off the headwind created by a stronger dollar and higher rates that followed the release of a much stronger than expected read of retail sales for January. The S&P 500 Index closed with a gain of just over a quarter of one percent, starting to firm horizontal support at 4100 that was broken in the past couple of weeks. Short-term support at the rising 20-day moving average remains intact and the coiling that has materialized in recent weeks is setting up for what could be an explosive move, either higher or lower, in the days ahead. Despite a momentum sell signal triggered with respect to MACD on Friday, downside follow-through has failed to materialize, something that is likely frustrating the bears that have been expecting a downside resolution from the short-covering rally to start the year. Major moving averages continue to converge in the 3900 to 4000 zone, providing an effective backstop to a retracement move lower, should one be realized, through the weeks ahead. Seasonal tendencies for the broad market remain negative over the weeks ahead until we get into the start of March, at which point the next bull phase of the best six months of the year between November and April begins.
