Good MorningStocks tread water on Wednesday while investors watch Capitol Hill for clues about stimulus. The two sides continue to negotiate and point toward progress and yet no deal has been reached.
At this point in the stimulus negotiations, with the election two weeks away, it is unlikely any deal will be made before we know the outcome of the vote. The trouble for markets is that much of the gains made this year are based on this same stimulus; when it finally comes it may be too little too late to keep stocks moving higher.
On a technical note, the price action in the SPX has begun to look bearish. Over the last two months, the chart of weekly price action has formed a pattern that could easily turn into a double top. If the double-top reversal pattern confirms itself by falling to a new low, the S&P 500 could be in big trouble. A move down to retest the March lows is not out of the question.
