Four Day Rallies Reach Peak; Market Reversals Next?
2 months ago by noreply@blogger.com (Declan Fallon) @ Fallond Picks

After blasting through 20-day and 50-day moving averages with little fanfare, the S&P, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 ($IWM) all finished with topping doji, opening up the possibility for gaps down tomorrow and bearish "evening star" candlestick formations. The Nasdaq is looking the most bearish of these indices as it stalls out at channel resistance. Its 20-day and 50-day MAs are also nearby, and the tight action of the last few days have left the index clinging on to this moving average support. Technicals are net positive, opening up for a breakout in the downward channel and a challenge of July highs, but price action is key. <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6488120509886642" data-ad-slot...

Update: The Art of the Soft Landing
2 months ago by Calculated Risk @ Calculated Risk

Back in June, I wrote: The Art of the Soft Landing A few excerpts and an updated graph ...The "Art of the Soft Landing" requires that the Fed reduce rates quick enough to keep economic growth positive, and slow enough not to reignite inflation.  My view is a soft landing is achieved if growth stays positive, inflation returns to target, and the yield curve flattens or reverts to normal (long yields higher than short yields).The good news is growth has stayed positive and inflation has moved closer to the 2% target.  However, the yield curve is still inverted, and we are not out of the woods yet.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjouBxDcGZkf2i-AyncpsV4MDuUNaT4AEMXqvT-8M87gT2r8i5u_giVRNj3uC3IJySn7rapX5pQpq_HILGiE0F420X5uQdqUGNkCZ0zCZs1M6s_qXWNFfLbb1qbDPmZqEKbi9kMCbagBAYQ7nPei3nxu3C8fDYFqtauSwNFd9ktzr5XW...
