Good MorningThe major indices made a solid rebound on Thursday but the market isn’t out of the woods yet. The move was led by the tech-heavy NASDAQ composite and is more about hope than anything else. The NASDAQ gained a little more than 2.0% in hopes that Apple, Amazon, and the rest of the FAANG names will continue to deliver results. The bad news for traders is that Thursday’s move failed to regain key price levels above the 30-day EMA’s for all the major averages.
Looking forward, next week is going to be chock filled with volatility. Not only is the VIX still above the last high but next week is the Presidential election. On top of that, it’s the turn of another month and that will bring the all-important non-farm payroll report. Although the labor market still has a long way to go the signs are good that hiring was robust in October.
