Good MorningThe market got a healthy dose of good news on Monday when Pfizer released news about its COVID-19 vaccine. According to Pfizer, the vaccine candidate had a greater than 90% efficacy rate in an early trial. The news is exactly what the market has been waiting for and drove the broad market S&P 500 up more than 5.0%.
The S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite moved up to set new all-time highs on the news while the Dow Jones lagged the overall move and that’s where the good news ends. On a technical basis, Monday’s action lacked strength. The market opened at a new high and then spent the rest of the day moving lower. The candlesticks formed vary from index to index but all can be described as indicative or confirming resistance to higher prices and the end of the post-election rally.
