Tuesday saw the S&P tumble and wipe out Friday’s gain by midday. Buyers then returned and as we have seen so many times this year, they pushed sellers aside and ended the day with the S&P down just 8 points to 4343.
The technical indicators by the close were still holding a bullish stance but there are changes to be aware of for Wednesday.

Stock Market Outlook review of Tue Jul 6 2021
Stock Market Outlook: Technical Indicators Review:
Momentum: Momentum is falling and positive. It is signaling we should expect further weakness on Tuesday.
- Settings: For momentum I use a 10 period when studying market direction.
MACD Histogram: MACD (Moving Averages Convergence / Divergence) issued an up signal on Friday June 25. That up signal was strong on Tuesday.
- 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 and signaling overbought.
- 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 has a neutral signal in place for Wednesday and is signaling extremely overbought.
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 and still showing overbought readings.
- 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 Jul 7 2021
For Wednesday there are still overbought signals to contend with. As well we get the Fed’s note in the afternoon which may impact the market although I am not expecting anything unknown to be found.
The outlook is for more dips but not as deep as we saw on Tuesday. The close on Wednesday has a good chance of being higher.
