TVO Market Barometer 6-29: Will markets snap or fill the gap?
The bulls finally got the volume they needed last Friday, but a sudden wave of end-of-the-quarter profit taking swept through late in the session, leaving the S&P once again close to flat for the year.
On the other side, though, the bears didn’t accomplish much, as HG stayed CHILLY into the close, with a steady flow of buyers (especially on the Nasdaq) keeping things under control.
With the Fed looming over the holiday week ahead, folks are wondering if the market correction length is about to set a new record (the longest being 122 days back in ’84). It’s a short week and not a lot of time for SPY to regain 280, however, the 274 gap is clearly within reach. Then again, so is the 200 day MA.
TVO has shifted into LIMBO and markets are once again in “wait and see” mode. Whether they’re waiting for the Fed (to tell us all what we already know) or something far more elusive remains to be seen. -MD
