A pile of leaves, in the form of a massive two week stock market rally, has concealed a road with many cracks. Cracks that may continue to widen. Are we out of the woods yet? Or is this market setting up for a nasty fall?
Yesterday the stock market continued its strong showing, posting a modest gain at the closing bell. The overnight session, however, has seen those gains evaporate and turn into losses.
We are nearing key support levels, the first being the 2,000 S&P500 futures figure that held on Friday. Next up is the resistance that was capping the recovery from the August crash.
