Stock Market Outlook for Wed Nov 22 2023 – Some Weakness With Dips Likely – Positive Close Possible

Nov 22, 2023 | Stock Market Outlook

Weakness Dips LikelyPrior Trading Day Summary:

On Tuesday investors learned nothing new from the FOMC report. It was simply a rehashing of what the Fed had already outlined in speeches and conferences in October. That left investors hanging a bit and resulted in the index closing down just 9 points at 4538.

The NASDAQ lost 84 points to close at 14,199.

Considering a bit higher volatility on Tuesday, volume was low. The S&P saw 3.5 billion shares traded and the NASDAQ had 4.2 billion shares change hands. It was the slowest day for the NASDAQ since October 30. For the SPX it was the slowest day since Oct 16.

Investors were hoping for a bit more direction from the FOMC minutes. There were though signals from the technical indicators that were worth noting

Let’s review the closing technical indicators from Tue Nov 21 2023 to see what to expect for Wed Nov 22 2023.


Stock Market Outlook: SPX Closing Chart For Tue Nov 21 2023

The index closed above all major moving averages and continued to move away from the Upper Bollinger Band and sideways. The outlook is still bullish.

The closing candlestick ended the day just at 4538 which is bullish and continues to signal an overbought market. The long shadow left at the close indicates some selling pressure should be expected on Wednesday and dips are likely for the final trading day before the Thanksgiving holiday.

The 21 day moving average moved above the 100 day and reached the 50 day on Tuesday. This wiped out the second down signal from early October leaving only the late August down signal.

The 50 day moving average is continuing to climb above the 100 day.

The 200 day moving average is climbing which is bullish.

The Lower Bollinger Band is is turning up which could be bearish. The Upper Bollinger Band is continuing higher which is bullish.

The S&P chart is bullish but signals overbought heading into Wednesday.

Stock Market Outlook review of Tue Nov 21 2023


Stock Market Outlook: Technical Indicators Review

Momentum: Momentum is falling and positive.

  • Settings: For momentum I use a 10 period when studying market direction.
MACD Histogram: MACD (Moving Averages Convergence / Divergence) issued an up signal on Thu Nov 2. On Tue Nov 21 2023 the close saw some weakness in the up signal.

  • 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 positive. It is leaving 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 down signal in place and is very 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 positive. It is signaling very overbought.

  • 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 and positive. It is signaling Wednesday may end lower.

  • 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 Wed Nov 22 2023 

The technical indicators are very bullish but there are a few warning signs of potential problems for early next week. The Lower Bollinger Band is rising which could end the bullish signal from the Bollinger Bands.

With the 21 day moving average now above the 100 day and ready to move above the 50 day probably on Wednesday, there are signals of weakness starting to creep into the technical indicators, especially as the outlook remains bearish for many investors.

Volume on Wednesday will probably be lower as we head into Thanksgiving on Thursday when markets are closed. Friday is a half day.

NVIDIA Stock (NVDA) beat all estimates but the stock still sank after earnings were released. This could assist setting up further trades on Wednesday.

For Wednesday the outlook is sideways to potentially lower for stocks but the outlook overall is still bullish.
