Weekly Stock Market Commentary 3/22/2024

By Lawrence G. McMillan

This market continues to show an amazing amount of bullish strength. After having trouble at the 5180 level for about a week, $SPX broke on through after the FOMC meeting and is trading at new all-time highs once again. The 5180 levels is now support. There is further support at 5050, and since $SPX did some "work" in that 5050-5180 area for a few weeks, it is a solid support area throughout as well as the launch pad for this new leg of the rally.

This market just keeps rolling along. It is overbought, but that's probably a good thing rather than a bad thing. As the noted Smith Barney technician, the late Alan Shaw, said "The most bullish thing a market can do is get overbought and stay there." That's what this market is doing.

After gapping sharply higher on the NVDA earnings (February 22nd), $SPX slowed down a little but did not really pull back strongly. In fact, the Index made another new closing high yesterday. There is still a large gap on the chart (circled in Figure 1 on the upper right), from the post-NVDA reaction, and it would probably be a healthy thing if that gap were closed (a move down to 4983 would accomplish that).

Weekly Stock Market Commentary 2/16/2024

By Lawrence G. McMillan

On Tuesday (February 13th), there was a negative CPI report, and the market fell sharply in two heavy waves of selling. But late in the day, buyers came in and they have been buying the market for the entire rest of the week. So, this seems very similar to the sharp, one-day selloff of late January. It eventually amounted to nothing.
