Weekly Market Outlook – One More Bad Day For Stocks Could Do It
For the second week in a row, stocks suffered losses. And this time around, the market was dragged to the brink of implosion, but not past it. It’s close, though. It’s so close that one more bad day could push the indexes below key technical floors.
Weekly Market Outlook – Cracks Are Starting To Show, But The Rally Remains Intact
Stocks suffered a loss last week -- the biggest one in a while. Worse, the move shattered what had become a technical support level. There’s still a decent chance, however, the market could bounce back into bullish form without moving lower first.
Weekly Market Outlook – Just Chuggin’ Along
Following through on the prior week’s rebound, stocks (mostly) made more progress last week despite it being shortened by the holiday. The longer-term uptrend is still alive and well. There’s decent reason to believe more upside is possible.
Weekly Market Outlook – The Rally’s Renewal Is 0% Surprising
For a couple of weeks, it looked like the market might have finally succumbed to the weight of its recent gains. But, the bulls were able to put the rally back in gear before it completely stalled. In short, the rally is still alive.
Weekly Market Outlook – Small Cracks Showing, But Don’t Panic Yet
Stocks suffered another loss last week, albeit a small one. And, depending the index, no serious damage was done. Moreover, in the one case where a key floor did finally start to break, several more are still below, waiting to stop the bleeding.
Weekly Market Outlook – Friday’s Pullback Was Scripted, And Not Yet A Cause For Concern
Friday’s jobs report eventually tipped the stock market back into the red for the week. Or, maybe that wasn’t the reason, but rather, just the trigger. Perhaps stocks were going to peak and pull back on Friday either way.
Weekly Market Outlook – Riding The Bullish Guardrails
Despite the rocky start to the week, the bulls finally got on their horses to push the market to yet-another new high. Perhaps more importantly, the Nasdaq Composite finally punched through a technical ceiling that frees it up to keep moving higher.
Weekly Market Outlook – A Good Week, But Not A Perfect Ending
Stocks bounced back from the setback seen a week earlier. But, the advance was less than ideal. The S&P 500 slowed down when a well-established technical ceiling was tested again. However, that doesn’t mean the bigger-picture advance is done.
Weekly Market Outlook – Still Plenty Of Technical Support In Place
We warned you a week ago that stocks had rallied too far, too fast. Last week they paid the price. The S&P 500 lost 0.4% of its value over the course of the prior five trading days.
Weekly Market Outlook – Technical Resistance Dead Ahead, Just Don’t Sweat It Too Much Yet
With last week’s 1.4% advance, the S&P 500 is up 7.0% for the five-week stretch. The market is just rolling. On the other hand, with last week’s romp, the index is now bumping into pretty-well-established technical resistance.
Weekly Market Outlook – The Market’s Gains Are Getting Tougher To Make, But...
The market mustered another win last week, although this was the weakest of the last three weekly gains. The S&P 500 only finished the week up 1.0%, peeling back from its highs. The Nasdaq Composite peeled back even more.
Weekly Market Outlook – Don’t Read Too Much Into The Recovery Effort Just Yet
After stocks broke their eight-week win streak two weeks ago, the market recovered pretty well last week. Just don’t overreact or read too much into it.
Weekly Market Outlook – Cracks Are Starting To Show
The market’s nine-week win streak firmly ended last week, with the S&P 500 tumbling 1.5%. That’s enough to start a setback. And yet, it’s still too soon to say the budding bull market is dead. It was due for a breather anyway.
Weekly Market Outlook – Stocks End The Year With A Whimper. Now What?
The market technically logged a ninth consecutive weekly gain during the final trading week of the year. But, it was the weakest gain of them all. It would be easy to assume the rally is running out of stream. And maybe it is.
Weekly Market Outlook – Here Comes The Santa Claus Rally
Another week, another win. That makes the eighth in a row, and while last week's wasn’t as big as the one from the week before, it was still sizeable. The cup-and-handle breakout thrust from two weeks back is still underway.
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.
