October 11 Market Update | Technical, Fundamental, News

Mis à jour
Description:

An analysis for the week ahead.

Points of Interest:

$3,500 High-Volume Concentration; Poor Structure; Balance Break; Stimulus; Earnings.

Technical:

Broad-market equity indices ended the week higher with S&P 500 retracing more than 50% of its September sell-off.

During Last Week’s Action: Alongside fiscal stimulus hopes, U.S. index products initiated past and built value above a major high-volume concentration.

The movement out balance provided initiative participants (i.e., those buying within or above prior value) with greater confidence to explore higher. In moving higher, however, the market left behind numerous poor structures, suggesting much of the activity was emotional.

The aforementioned short-term, momentum-driven activity is most attributable to the consensus there will be another round of stimulus. If talks were to fall apart or some other non-technical factor was introduced, there is good odds the market would endure a fast-moving correction of the poor structure.

Overall, the market has moved out of balance and is resolving to the upside. Outside of some exogenous event, it is likely that the market will continue exploring higher with the S&P 500 trading up to the high-volume area at the $3,500 strike where the concentration of open interest in options is heavy.

Fundamental:

According to Evan Karson and Bridget Ryan of Moody’s Analytics, the economic recovery is facing two big downside risks.

“Two major downside risks loom over the road to recovery that could determine which path the labor market will follow: a spike in COVID-19 cases or a fiscal policy blunder. A double-dip recession will be unavoidable if widespread contagion slows business activity materially or sparks another round of nonessential business closures. The risk of a surge is increasing as the weather gets colder and people begin to socialize inside.” bit.ly/30V0LAy

Adding, the two suggest that a failure to deliver another round of direct stimulus payments or expand unemployment benefits would cut into household spending and damage consumer-driven industries hardest. The most significant gains, though, would occur if and when a vaccine is made available.
