At just about any level because the Liberation Day lows, the market was performing in another way. Sure, there could be dips (often in a response to tariff or different political information) after which it could stabilize and the dip shopping for began. As soon as the rally began, momentum took over.
That hasn’t been the case recently. Since late October, the market has moved in suits and begins. Momentum has been there some instances however not in others. I am tempted to suppose that is all angst forward of Wednesday’s Nvidia report led by hyperscalers however I am additionally fearful it is as a result of the Fed has taken away the punch bowl.
I used to be baffled that the market did not begin to dump on Oct 30 after Powell mentioned one other price minimize in December wasn’t sure and “removed from it” that was the signal. As an alternative, the market continued for 2 weeks to cost in a excessive probability of a December minimize. Final week. for some motive, the market lastly bought the message and the December odds have dwindled to 36%.
The factor is, the Fed put continues to be in play. They’ve 375 bps of ammunition and can use it if the roles market slackens. I definitely do not see a rise in inflation looming both (stubbornness is a special story).
All this to say that this value motion does not look nice and that we’re a pair unhealthy days away from breaking a sequence of lows from 6550 to 6631 that basically want to carry throughout a bullish seasonal interval.
