Stocks clawed their way higher on Friday as the normal positive bias that surrounds the end of year holidays gave reprieve to recent selling pressures. The S&P 500 Index closed with a gain of just less than six-tenths of one percent, remaining within a tight short-term range just below the recently broken 50-day moving average. Minor resistance remains around previous horizontal support at 3900 with the more formidable threat persisting at declining trendline resistance, now around 4025. Momentum indicators remain in decline, although evidence of waning short-term downside momentum is being derived. November’s upside open gap between 3770 and 3860 remains the logical zone of support to the Santa Claus rally period that peaks in the first few days of the new year.
