December 6 Market Update | Technical, Fundamental, News
Description:
An analysis for the week ahead.
Points of Interest:
Projections near $3,710.00, the micro-composite HVNode at $3,690.75 and $3,667.75, as well as the $3,682.00 and $3,640.00 balance boundary.
Technical:
During much of the week, participants lacked the conviction to break through to new highs.
However, conditions markedly improved after Thursday’s long liquidation on Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) news flushed out weak-handed participants, and responsive buyers surfaced. The quick recovery of the balance-area high suggested the news was immaterial.
During Friday regular trading, initiative buyers extended range — through the $3,682.00 balance-area high — separating and accepting value above the week-long balance-area.
Therefore, given the acceptance of higher prices, participants must monitor whether S&P 500 spends time trading above the $3,682.00 balance boundary. An initiative drive below that figure would portend a potential response at the $3,667.75 high-volume node. Auctioning further below that area would denote a clear change in conviction. The line in the sand is the $3,640 balance-area boundary. Auctioning below that figure puts the rally on hold.
All in all, though sentiment and positioning imply limited potential for upside, the S&P 500 remains in an uptrend after confirming a multi-month balance-break.
Fundamental:
In a commentary, Nasdaq’s Phil Mackintosh discussed new proposed actions from the SEC.
The U.S. is moving away from an equal, actionable, accessible market. It will become more similar to Europe, where segmentation and latency are so prevalent that, even though public data is available, each investor’s view of what they can access is different, making it hard to agree on what quotes and trades should be used to benchmark their executions.
Simply put, Mackintosh suggests proposals like NMS II, which is intended to modernize market data infrastructure, will likely lead to more market fragmentation, segmentation, and quote deterioration.
Key Events:
Monday: Consumer Credit Change.
Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, Wholesale Inventories, EIA Cushing Crude Oil Stocks Change, EIA Distillate Stocks Change.
Thursday: Core Inflation Rate MoM and YoY, Inflation Rate MoM and YoY, Initial and Continuing Jobless Claims, Jobless Claims 4-Week Average, Monthly Budget Statement.
Friday: PPI MoM, Michigan Consumer Sentiment Preliminary, Michigan 5-Year Inflation Expectations Preliminary, Michigan Inflation Expectations Preliminary, Fed Quarles Speech.
