Technical Outlook: S&P 500 (SPX) had a hard bounce yesterday of 1.5% that took price back to the underside of the 50-day moving average before failing to break through it.  The volume on SPDRs S&P 500 (SPY) came in strong yesterday again, though slightly less than what we saw on Friday.  Trend line off of the

Technical Outlook: S&P 500 (SPX) had one of its biggest sell-offs of the year on Friday, catching the large majority of market participants by surprise.  SPX broke its 50-day moving average and closed below it for the first time since 6/29.  The volume on SPDRs S&P 500 (SPY) was more than triple the normal average and the

Technical Outlook: Over the course of the last three days the S&P 500 has sold off early on, only to recover all or most of its losses before the end of the day.  The “buy the dip” mentality is alive and well for the stock market right now.  Essentially, the bears have shown no willingness

Technical Outlook: Another day where the bulls might not be ambitious for higher prices, but still willing to buy any dip that comes the market way. Despite the early selling, SPX managed to finish the day in the green yesterday.  At some point this month, the brexit vote will become a concern for the market.

Technical Outlook: A rare down day for the market – in the case of SPY, only its second in the past seven trading sessions. And as we have seen of late, the sell-offs are quite often mitigated by a huge swell of buying into the close that wipes out all of the day’s losses
