Good MorningThe S&P 500 made another run at setting a new all-time high on Tuesday but failed to cross the crucial market. By the end of the day the index gave up its gains to form a small doji candle that signals uncertainty and lack of direction in the market. The NASDAQ Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Averages were no better, both trading in tight ranges and showing signs of indecision. If the indexes are unable to move up from here price-resistance could form and may weigh on stocks in the coming days.
With the end of the Q3 reporting cycle fast upon us, there isn’t much to drive the market other than news and data. The news remains mixed; an uncertain Presidential moves forward while stalemate rages in Washington and the number of COVID cases set new records. Regarding the data, the data is consistent with a strongly rebounding economy and points to strong earnings for the S&P in the 4th quarter.
