Week 38 Market Roundup — more demand and a crucial week ahead

Last Sunday in my Week 37 Market Roundup, I discussed the scenarios of a crash, further correction and bull signs. As expected, S&P 500 had a relieved rally after the exhaustion of the down momentum. Yet it only tested the upper range the trading range near 3425 before it lost the up momentum and have another down swing to test the low at 3300. So far, the trading range between 3300–3425 is still in play.

Based on the character of the rally we had last week (on Monday & Tuesday), it suggested a weak bull. On the bullish sign, comparing 17–18 Sep’s price spread (highlighted in orange) with 10–11 Sep’s (highlighted in blue), there are more demand come in on 17–18 Sep as S&P 500 did not commit below the support level at 3300, suggested a potential rally ahead.

Next week will be crucial as it should reveal more clues if S&P 500 will have further correction ahead to test the next support zone 3125–3300. If it fails to commit above 3425 (with the anticipated rally coming week), it will likely to break 3300 with more weakness ahead upon emergence of increasing supply.

So far, RUSSELL 2000 outperforms the rest of the indices as shown in the chart below. Take advantage of the small cap stocks for possible long entry if you are trading on the long side. NASDAQ is the worst, followed by S&P 500 and the Dow Jones. It does make sense to have a rotation into the laggard (in this case is RUSSELL 2000) after the impressive run in NASDAQ since Mar 2020.

JHM (JHM CONSOLIDATION BHD) — similar to VS, supply has been decreasing for JHM. It should attempt to test the resistance at 1.77, followed by 1.9.

Stock Watchlist — US
MSFT (MICROSOFT) — Support at 198 was tested and rebounded last Friday. 211 is the immediate resistance to overcome. Else, it will have further weakness when the NASDAQ back to its correction mode.

META (FACEBOOK) — Support at 250 was tested. There was increasing of supply in the reaction from last week. A failure to overcome 266 should see further weakness ahead and likely to test 220–240.
