Signs points to a coming pullback

With the S&P 500 hitting a new all-time high this Friday, it is hard to find a case where even the staunchest bear participants are not on board this bull train. Since hitting the October 2023 lows, the S&P 500 has surged more than 23%, with weekly positive gains for most of this year. Now, market s...

All aboard...the bull express

The S&P 500 has hit all-time highs by surpassing the 5000 mark on January 12, 2024. During the fall of 2022, there was such pessimism and bearish market sentiment that there were only a few minority views that the market would reverse course and rally to where we are now. Some market pundits were fo...

Approaching all-time highs

As we near the end of 2023, investors can look back on this year's massive rally and wonder why they were so worried about all the talk about recession and inflation. It is hard not to fault investors as market pundits, economists, and news media have told them for over two years that a recession wa...

Full rally ahead with a slight chance of FOMO topping

Markets have rallied off their recent October low to rally this November to make it three straight weeks of solid gains. The Treasury yield continues to fall, with the 10-year Treasury note dropping more than 19 basis points for the week and landing near 4.4%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are nearing thei...

Markets on the edge...

The financial markets have pulled back more than 10% since the start of August, and at the current moment, there is a possibility that markets can head lower in the coming weeks. Some may see the recent pullback as a product of the rise in the 10-year treasury yield. Others may contribute to the Fed...

Reversal coming...

A new month and the start of a recent quarter set in for the markets. While August and September have closed out with consecutive monthly losses for every major index, this week's close gives pause to a sign that could spell troubles for the bears. While the narrative has not changed since last year...

Recanting the Recession Forecast

A year ago from today, you would be hard-pressed to find an economist who doubted the U.S. was headed into a deep recession. With the housing market dropping and the Feds attempting to fight inflation by raising interest rates, economists and financial pundits were sure that the consumer market, oth...

Up next: Test of critical support for financial markets

Markets have rallied over +28% since hitting their market lows in October 2022.  Following market movements daily to weekly provides a lot of insight into the near-term and immediate trends in the market.  And the current trend has been upward, with investors catching on to the FOMO train.  While th...

Pullback underway...

Since our last blog in early July, markets have been pushing higher to where the S&P 500 closed today at ~4518. When we posted back in July, we noted a few buy-the-dip phases after breaking above the previous resistance at 4311. On 6/20/23 and 7/3/23, we saw FOMO kick into gear with the dip-buying c...

A matter of interest

Are rising interest rates headwinds for financial markets? Or is it simply that the financial media have familiarized investors with the notion that financial markets decline when interest rates increase? This anecdotal fact has been compounded recently by the 2022 bear market and the surge in infla...
