SPX- Stock Market Outlook review of Tue Sep 24 2024


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 Fri Sep 13 2024. The up signal was stronger 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 rising and positive.

  • 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 in an up signal and is at overbought levels.

  • 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 rising and positive. It is at overbought levels.

  • 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 which advises Wednesday will 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: Support and Resistance Levels

5715 is resistance
5700 is resistance
5650 is resistance
5625 is resistance
5615 is resistance
5600 is resistance
5575 is resistance
5550 is light support
5525 is support
5500 is support
5470 is support
5450 is support
5425 is support
5400 is support


Stock Market Outlook for Wed Sep 25 2024 

For Wednesday the technical indicators remain a bit mixed. Momentum is slipping which is only natural considering the weakness of the move higher over the past couple of days. The Rate Of Change is also pointing lower, again understandable due to the limited rally over the past two days. The remaining indicators are still supportive of the rally continuing into Wednesday. The closing candlestick is warning that on Wednesday or Thursday we could see a bit deeper dip but the close is still expected to be higher.

On Tuesday consumer confidence fell far more than expected and that sent stocks lower. The day turned choppy on Tuesday and we could see a similar day develop today.


Potential Economic and Political Market Moving Events

Monday:

9:45 S&P flash services PMI came in as expected at 55.4

9:45 S&P flash manufacturing PMI was lower than expected at 47

Tuesday:

9:00 Case-Shiller home price index came in lower than expected at 5.9%

10:00 Consumer confidence was a lot lower than expected coming in at 98.7

Wednesday:

10:00 New homes sales are expected to drop to 700,000 from 739,000.
