Can Stocks Rally Even As Banks Near Major Inflection Point

S&P 500 (SPY)

Stocks will try to advance for the second day in a row. S&P 500 faces a level of resistance around 2,630. That is the defining level in many ways which will determine if the market can continue to rise or we see a rather sharp pullback. 2,630 was the level the S&P 500 fell below on December 14 that sent us on that steep path lower.

Goldman Sachs reported results that topped both the top and bottom lines and the stock is jumping on the news. The stock is jumping over $183, and that could lead to the start of something more.

Banks

All of the banks seem to be quickly approaching an inflection point. With downtrends that seem like that may not be easy to break on the first attempt. I would not be surprised if the group saw a pullback over the next few days. Let’s wait and see.

The BKX bank index is quickly approaching a significant level of resistance at 94.

@[Michael J. Kramer](user:85698), when will we really know if the market is ready to steadily climb? Isn't there just too much uncertainty now between the #shutdown and #tradewar to know anything?

I don't understand what people see in #ROKU? Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the only thing the company does is make products that are just like the Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Google Chromecast and a dozen other similar products?
