Weekly Market Outlook – Right On Cue, Stocks Follow Through On Cup-And-Hande Pattern
Last week we pointed out both of the major market indexes had formed a cup-and-handle pattern, setting the stage for rekindled bullishness. Stocks just needed break above the cup’s brim line to get that ball rolling.
Weekly Market Outlook – The Cup-And-Handle Pattern Is Complete
Thanks to some last-minute heroics, stocks eked out a sixth-straight weekly win last week. As has been the case for the past three of these weeks now, however, the rally is slowing down.
Weekly Market Outlook – The Gains Are Getting Tougher To Make
The market managed to make yet-another gain last week… the fifth in a row. But, it’s clearly losing momentum. Then again, now up nearly 12% from its late-October low, it could be expected to pause for a breather here.
Weekly Market Outlook - Another Week, Another Win. But This Is Where Things Get Tough
The Thanksgiving holiday may have kept market activity to a minimum this past week. But, as is usually the case, what little action there was this week leaned in a bullish direction. The S&P 500 closed about 1% higher for the full week on Friday.
Weekly Market Outlook - A Less-Than-Ideal Bullish Follow-Through
The market logged a third consecutive weekly gain, with the most recent one accelerating from the prior one’s slower pace. Thanks to last week’s 2.2% advance, the S&P 500 is now 9.7% above its late October low. That’s a lot of ground to cover.
Weekly Market Outlook – That Was Just Good Enough To Change Everything
Two weeks ago the market was hanging on for dear life. One week ago stocks were knocking on the door of a bullish breakout. Now, the stock market is above the last of any prospective technical ceilings. That’s how quickly things change in this game.
Weekly Market Outlook - It’s Tough To Trust The Stock Market After Best Week Of The Year
The S&P 500 rallied 6.0%, marking the index’s best week since June of 2022. As the old adage goes though, if it seems too good to be true, then it probably isn’t. And there’s certainly plenty of reason to doubt any follow-through is in the cards.
Wednesday’s Selling Pushed The Market To The Brink, And Maybe Past It
The S&P 500 slipped into a serious amount of trouble on Wednesday. It had been toying with its 200-day moving average line for several days.
More Option Spreads Explained: Bull Call Spreads
Bull call spread involves the purchase of call options with a lower strike price, and shorting a call option with a higher strike price; both calls have the same expiration date
Weekly Market Outlook – Last Week’s Big Selloff Comes With An Important Footnote
Looking at last week’s losses it would be easy to conclude the worst about the market’s foreseeable future. Not only did the S&P 500 log its worst week in a month, the Nasdaq Composite closed below a key technical support level.
Thursday’s Stumble Doesn’t Change Everything, But It Changes A Lot
Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite are now beneath an important short-term moving average line thanks to hints that the Fed may not be done with its rate hikes.
Caught Between A Rock And A Hard Place
Were it just one day, we might dismiss is. To see the stock market remain trapped between a narrow band of support and resistance for two days in a row, though? That’s worth pointing out.
Weekly Market Outlook – Just When It Mattered The Most, The Bulls Flinched
This market isn’t just erratic and inconsistent. It’s maddening. Just when it looks like it might break past a key technical ceiling and finally keep moving, it turns tail and runs. Except, it doesn’t.
Right On Cue, Stocks’ Rally Stalls On Tuesday
Following through on the bullishness that materialized on Friday of last week, the market logged a third consecutive daily win on Tuesday. The win, however, is tainted.
Weekly Market Outlook – Nice Week, But Stocks Aren’t Out Of The Woods Yet
The smart-money move to make here is doing nothing other than waiting and seeing how this plays out.
Tuesday’s Tumble Pushes The Market To The Brink, And Maybe Past It
The stock market’s been on thin ice for a while. Tuesday’s selloff brings it back within striking distance of more serious trouble. Indeed, by some measures, it may already be past its breaking point.
