Stocks edged mildly higher on Friday as fourth quarter earnings season got underway with reports from some of the big US banks. The S&P 500 Index punched out a gain of four-tenths of one percent, inching above resistance at the 200-day moving average at 3981 and continuing to pressure long-term declining trendline resistance at 4000. Momentum indicators remain on buy signals following the bullish crossover with respect to MACD that was recorded one week ago and, gradually, characteristics of a bearish trend are being alleviated as MACD and RSI advance into the upper half of their ranges. The price action over the past week seemingly confirms a higher intermediate low given the bounce from November’s gap support between 3770 and 3860. The next step to definitively say that the market has past this trajectory of lower-highs and lower-lows over an intermediate-term timeframe would be a move above the December peak around 4100. The 50-day moving average, indicative of the direction of the intermediate-term path, continues to point higher and is now back in a position of support around 3900.
Sentiment on Friday, as gauged by the put-call ratio, ended close to neutral at 0.95.Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
