The Markets
Stocks closed mixed on Thursday as investors wait for the results of the monthly non-farm payroll report slated to be released on Friday. The S&P 500 Index closed down by a mere tenth of one percent after reaching up and testing long-term declining trendline resistance around 4100 intraday. Heading into the pivotal employment report, the benchmark remains supported by a confluence of major moving averages (20, 100, and 150-day) just above horizontal support at 3900 and attempts to hold support at the now broken 200-day moving average are being made. Momentum indicators continue to trend higher following their end of September lows and characteristics of a bullish trend continue to be adopted above their middle lines. Short-term bullish setups continue to point to an upside target of 4200.
Sentiment on Thursday, as gauged by the put-call ratio, ended neutral at 0.96.Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
