Potential signal:
If we break above the top of the wipeout candlestick from Tuesday, near the 5140 level, I would be a buyer and go looking toward the 5275 level. Underneath, the 5000 level would be my stop loss.
- Ultimately, this is a market that I do think has a lot of support underneath it, but the 5000 level is an area that I think he is psychologically important as well as potentially structurally supportive as well. In fact, I think it’s an area of support that extends down to the 4925 level.
The 50-Day EMA sits just above, offering a certain amount of resistance. If we were to break above there, then the market is likely to go looking toward the 5125 level. Breaking above that level opens up the possibility of a move toward the 5300 level, but we would need to see some type of momentum in the market. That being said, it’s probably only a matter of time before Wall Street finds a reason to start pushing a bullish narrative again.
Interest Rate Markets and Jobs
Friday is the nonfarm payroll announcement, and that of course will have a major influence on what happens next. Ultimately, which you need to watch is interest rates coming out of the 10 year note in the United States, because that’s the only thing that Wall Street cares about, whether or not it is going to get cheap money. This has absolutely nothing to do with the economy, because as an American I can tell you that things are getting rapidly more expensive. Wall Street is worried about getting cheap money to push around and take advantage of liquidity.
This is a bit ironic, considering we are in the midst of earning season, but quite frankly earnings have nothing to do with what happens with the stock. That’s like assuming that stocks have something to do with the economy. It’s a transmission of liquidity like it has been since the Great Financial Crisis. This is a market that is currently trying to sort out whether or not it has enough liquidity to support it. If it does, it will rise. If it does not, it will fall. At this point, I think the only thing you can count on is a lot of noise.
