June 28 Market Update | Technical, Fundamental, News
Description:
An analysis for the week ahead.
Points of Interest:
Gap Above 78.6% Retracement; 100% Projection And VWAP Anchored From 3/23 At $2,850; Balance Below $2,975.
Technical:
Broad-market equity indices resolved a week-long balance area to the downside, albeit under weak selling. The S&P 500 managed to one time frame lower, as evidenced by the lower highs and lows, and closed the week off below its month-to-date and week-to-date volume weighted average price benchmarks.
Recapping last week’s action, Monday’s session closed higher without any involvement from stronger buyers. During the overnight session, before Tuesday’s regular trading, news regarding U.S. and China trade relations roiled markets. Later, statements regarding the relations were retracted, and markets retraced more than 100% of their move down. After the overnight news-driven shakeout, the market failed to get any real traction during regular trading.
On Wednesday, markets liquidated on news regarding a contraction in global economic growth, later accepting prices and closing near the lows. The rotations lower were mechanical, indicative of short-term trading money.
Thursday’s activity, on the other hand, was mostly responsive, with end-of-day economic news helping fuel a spike that erased some of Wednesday’s selling. In the evening session, alongside Federal Reserve balance sheet news, markets returned to prior day value, rejecting the end-of-day spike. After the noisy overnight, markets opened Friday, liquidated, and closed near the lows.
Overall, despite the market losing ground, the selling was not all too intense as evidenced by the mechanical rotations and weak migration of value. Every time the market attempted to go higher, or lower, it lacked conviction, and would often lose steam into the close.
Adding, the presence of an overwhelming number of traders on social media salivating at the notion the market may experience another crash is a huge red flag and may point to the incompletion of a longer-term uptrend. Important to note is the relative strength of growth versus the weakness of the energy and financial sectors. That said, though the immediate near-term trend is lower, higher prices could come just as easily on some good news. For a healthy continuation, sellers need to step up and transact in higher volumes at lower prices.
