Week-In-Review: Another Record Setting Month On Wall Street

Another Record Setting Month On Wall Street

The market remains exceptionally strong as the bulls remain in clear control and stocks refuse to fall in a meaningful fashion. Every time the market hints at pulling back, almost immediately, the bulls show up (buy the dip crowd) and send stocks soaring. The two largest “down” days (that were significant) this year happened on June 9th and then last Wednesday, November 27, both in the Nasdaq. Both those days happened after a big rally and then the Nasdaq, and other big cap growth stocks, sold off in heavy volume. Normally, that mark a near term high but not this market. Stocks soared on Thursday and the Dow topped 24,000 for the first time ever which was a few days after the S&P 500 topped 2,600. At this point, the market is very extended to the upside and way overdue to pullback. Until it does, weakness should be bought, not sold.

Mon-Wed Action:

Stocks ended mixed on Cyber Monday as investors waited to see the results of the first real holiday shopping weekend of the season. So far, the data showed online Black Friday sales rose close to +17% from the same period last year. Meanwhile, Cyber Monday sales also rose double digits vs 2016 numbers.

Stocks rallied sharply on Tuesday, with the Dow jumping 255 points, after the U.S. Senate moved closer to passing tax reform. Goldman Sachs expects a 50% chance tax reform is accomplished this year and an 80% chance it gets done in 2018. Stocks ended mixed on Wednesday but the Nasdaq, and a slew of growth stocks, fell hard and dragged the market lower. Before the open, the government released the second estimate of US Q3 GDP which came in at +3.3%, beating estimates for a gain of +3.2%. In other news, Bitcoin surged above 11,000 24 hours after it broke above 10,000. If that’s not a climax run, I don’t know what is.

Thur & Fri Action:

Stocks soared on Thursday, with the Dow rallying over 300 points after it looked like the Senate would pass the tax cut. After the close, the Senate pushed the vote back because they were still lobbying some members. Stocks fell on Friday after a few negative headlines emerged regarding the ongoing Russia investigation.

    Market Outlook- In A Correction:
    The major U.S. averages are still in a “correction” as they continue to bounce towards resistance of their 2-month base. The latest follow-through day (FTD) which began on August 23, 2011 has officially ended which means we will continue “counting” days before a new rally can be confirmed. In addition, it is important to note that the bulls scored a victory since many of the major averages closed above their downward sloping 50 DMA lines for the first time since late July! The next stop is September’s highs and then their 200 DMA lines. Our longstanding clients/readers know, we like to filter out the noise and focus on what matters most: market action.

  • Stocks Get Smacked on A Busy Wednesday

    For the most part, the major averages and leading stocks are pausing to digest their recent gains as investors make their way through the latest round of economic and earnings data. Until a clear picture can be formed as to how companies fared last quarter, one could easily expect to see more of this sideways action to continue. The market just began its 46th week since the March lows and the rally remains intact as long as the major averages continue trading above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. Trade accordingly.
