This Rally Is Getting A Bit Steep – Weekly Market Outlook It may have been a shortened week thanks to the long Independence Day weekend, but the bulls managed to cram at least five days of bullishness into only three and a half days of bullishness. The S&P 500 (SPX) (SPY) gained 24.5 points – about 1.2% – last week, pushing...
Nasdaq Hits Multi-Year Highs Amid A Risky Environment – Weekly Market Outlook It may have been a volatile mess, and even with a strong finish, the broad market still closed in the red for the week (though just barely).

Is The Market Melting Up? – Weekly Market Outlook The market may have made progress last week, but in so doing pushed itself back into an overbought condition.

No Signs Of Impending Doom – Weekly Market Outlook The weight of the sizable gain since mid-May – and really since mid-April – finally proved to be more than the market could bear last week.

Is this...
Finally A Breakout, But Caveats Remain – Weekly Market Outlook We have to give credit where it’s due – if last week’s rally is just another fakeout, it’s the most convincing fakeout we’ve seen in months. We at least owe it to ourselves to consider the possibility we could be headed into a rare springtime rally. We’ll show you exactly...
Red Flags Amid A Trading Range – Weekly Market Outlook It looked like the market was finally going to break out of its funk early last week. But, by Thursday it was clear the rally effort wasn’t a breakout, but just another fakeout. The bulls are still within striking distance of a breakout, but even some of the staunchest of...
