Good MorningInvestors and traders got a double-shot of good news from Fed chief Jerome Powell’s second day of testimony on Capitol Hill. In his comments, Mr. Powell both affirmed the need for more stimulus while also indicating the economic recovery is well underway. The pandemic is still a concern as are high levels of joblessness but the general outlook is positive. Add to that a lack of concern for the possibility of rising inflation and it is no surprise the broad market S&P 500 gained 1.0%.
Technically speaking, Wednesday’s gain in the market is a bullish signal. The market made a solid move higher confirming support at a key technical level, the 30-day moving average. The 30-day moving average is a gauge of near-term sentiment and an indication of which direction short-term traders are placing their bets. With the moving average trending higher and support at the average confirmed new all-time highs for the S&P 500 index are all but assured.
