SYS Daily Report
Stocks Grapple with Resistance and Bond Yield Trends
Stocks managed to secure modest gains on Monday, extending the positive momentum from the previous week. However, they continue to grapple with a stubborn area of resistance, as highlighted in our weekend report. A potential driving force for the market in the coming days may be the movements in long-term bond yields, particularly with no major news catalysts on the horizon. It’s worth noting that growth-oriented stocks are particularly sensitive to rising rates, given their susceptibility to the erosion of future profit values. It is crucial to adhere to the system rules to ensure that the stop-loss order not only safeguards profits but also effectively prevents downside risk.
I incorporated charts of both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, along with the 100-day moving average, which provides a visual representation of the resistance levels. The 100-day moving average plays a pivotal role in shaping the market’s future trajectory, presenting a binary outcome. If prices break out above this moving average, it signals a continuation of the uptrend. However, if they fail to do so, the recent surge from the lows may fizzle out.
This moving average offers a clear expected outcome, facilitating the development of a well-defined trading plan. It eliminates uncertainty, enabling traders to respond to real-time market developments rather than relying on predictions influenced by biases.
S&P 500
Nasdaq Composite
The stock market exhibited limited breadth on Monday, with declining stocks outnumbering advancing ones. The Nasdaq faced a 5-3 ratio of falling to rising stocks, while on the New York Stock Exchange, the losers dominated by a margin of more than 3-to-1. These uninspiring results were evident in the scanner PDFs, making it a challenging day to identify new trading opportunities.
Breadth
Conversely, the SSIH witnessed a significant surge today as funds flowed into industry groups beneath the surface. This development may serve as a leading indicator, akin to a canary in the coal mine, hinting at a potentially bullish outcome regarding the 100-day moving average on the indexes. The situation remains fluid, so continued monitoring is suggested. Stay tuned for further developments.
SSIH
In terms of market performance, the S&P 500 managed to eke out a 0.2% gain, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a modest uptick of 35 points, equivalent to a 0.1% increase. Notably, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite exhibited resilience by recording a 0.3% increase. This marked its seventh consecutive session of gains, the longest winning streak since January.
Indexes
Shifting our attention to the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 4.662% on Monday, up from the 4.557% observed on Friday. This uptick in yields adds to the overall market dynamics and is a critical factor influencing investors’ decisions in the days ahead.
