Stock Market Outlook review of Tue Jun 28 2022
Stock Market Outlook: Technical Indicators Review:
Momentum: Momentum is rising and neutral. It is no longer oversold.
- Settings: For momentum I use a 10 period when studying market direction.
MACD Histogram: MACD (Moving Averages Convergence / Divergence) issued an up signal on Monday June 27. On Tuesday the up signal was confirmed. The MACD histogram is positive for a second day.
- Settings: For MACD Histogram, I am using the Fast Points set at 13, Slow Points at 26 and Smoothing at 9.
Ultimate Oscillator: The Ultimate Oscillator is falling.
- Settings: The Ultimate Oscillator settings are: Period 1 is 5, Period 2 is 10, Period 3 is 15, Factor 1 is 4, Factor 2 is 2 and Factor 3 is 1. These are not the default settings but are the settings I use with the S&P 500 chart set for 1 to 3 months.
Slow Stochastic: The Slow Stochastic is rising.
Settings: For the Slow Stochastic I use the K period of 14 and D period of 3. The Slow Stochastic tries to predict the market direction further out than just one day.
Relative Strength Index: The RSI signal is falling.
- Settings: The relative strength index is set for a period of 5 which gives it 5 days of market movement to monitor. It is often the first indicator to show an overbought or oversold signal.
Rate of Change: The rate of change signal is falling.
- Settings: Rate Of Change is set for a 21 period. This indicator looks back 21 days and compares price action from the past to the present. With the Rate Of Change, prices are rising when signals are positive. Conversely, prices are falling when signals are negative. As an advance rises the Rate Of Change signal should also rise higher, otherwise the rally is suspect. A decline should see the Rate Of Change fall into negative signals. The more negative the signals the stronger the decline.

Stock Market Outlook for Tomorrow – Wed Jun 29 2022
The drop in consumer confidence index below the anticipated 100 is what ended the rally on Tuesday. The drop to 98.7 while modest was seen by many investors as another sign of coming recession.
For Wednesday there is a good chance for a bounce attempt, especially after the MACD up signal was confirmed on Tuesday despite the sell-off. However any bounce won’t last on Wednesday and the index is set to close lower. A close at or below 3800 is likely and is bearish.
