Will the Fed Taper Sooner & Harder?

2021-10-13

by

(10/13/21) Markets are being lifted in anticipation of earnings season and today's inflation report: Will it push the Fed to taper sooner? Inflation and stagflation are becoming more prevalent.

Earnings from JP Morgan and Blackrock both beat their estimates, but a look behind the curtain shows that some...

Can Markets Maintain Support?

2021-10-12

by

(10/12/21) Monday's sell-off took the market back to the 100-DMA, so markets continue to hold support. There are two bullish signs to note: Money flow buy signals are back in place, and money flows are trying to improve. The MACD buy signal is present, but just barely. It's critical markets hold the 100-DMA at least through the end of the week, and to get the bull market back, will need to advance above the 50-DMA. Will earnings be strong enough...

How Will Higher Debt Ceiling Impact Markets?

2021-10-07

by

(10/7/21) Will a lift in the Debt Ceiling provide a lift to Markets? Democrat hyperbole over crashing markets, debt defaults, and diving into depression was all just that: hyperbolic economic hypochondria: Those ills weren't going to happen. Markets did retest the major support of the last few days, and did rally back above the 100-DMA. This sets up the market for a rally to the 50-DMA as relief over the debt ceiling comes to fruition.

2021-10-06

by

(10/6/21) What does the Markets' rocky start to the month mean for your money? The good news is markets remain very over-sold, and volume has been evaporating as markets consolidate above support. The bad news is that volatility in the downtrend continues; more than 90% of S&P stocks have had a 10% correction.

(10/4/21) September's near-5% correction was treated by the mainstream media like the coming of Armageddon...not necessarily a Bear Market, and the bigger question might be, 'Is it over, yet?'
