S&P 500 index looks to be finding its footing. It just broke through the 20-day moving average with gusto. The 20-day MA is a good gauge for shorter-term momentum.
This all hangs on being able to hold above the 20-day MA, if so, the next test will be at 3,978, which is approximately right where the downtrend line and the 50-day moving average meet. If it can break through this downtrend line and hold above it while making higher highs, we could be saying bye-bye to this bear market.
Oddly enough this is also right where the gap that is yet to be filled is.
Those of you that don't think stocks can do well during a recession have not read your history books or done your due diligence. I am not in the recession camp though. I am in the "definition for recession is no longer relevant in today's financial world" camp. Yes, based on the old technical textbook definition, 2 negative GDP quarters in a row=recession.
I think we are going to still have the next roaring 20s, I'd put my money on a rally/rage into the end of the year then an economic boom when some of the macro and geopolitical bugaboos get solved with time.
Happy to discuss and answer questions.
Thanks,
Tiger
