EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
First, we had a GREAT webinar yesterday as Tom Bowley made his case for a much higher market in the future and went over strong/weak industries in the current market environment. Will make sure everyone receives a copy of the recording today.
Market Update:
A mixed market today with only the NASDAQ in positive territory today but all of the major indexes off session lows. So what's going on? Traders are sending a message to Fed Chairman Powell who is set to testify before Congress tomorrow. The message? Don't go hawkish on us. Whether or not he listens is another thing but for sure traders are now in wait and see mode, not wanting to over commit on stocks until they hear what he has to say. Of course what's most important is all of the major indexes remain technically sound with the S&P one strong day away from getting back to its all time high. So it's not like traders are unloading everything here. You can also rest assured that once Powell's testimony is out of the way traders will immediately set their sights on earnings with the flood gates set to open next week and as thousands of companies get set to report their numbers over the next several weeks. So we're likely to drift here into tomorrow's session with 2995 remaining as resistance and 2950 support on the S&P with the bulls still in control until further notice.
