Good MorningIf the first trading day of the year can be used as a guide it looks like 2023 is going to be another down year. The S&P 500 opened with gains and moved higher only to hit resistance at the short-term 30-da EMA where it triggered selling. The remainder of the day saw the market under pressure and down more than 1.0% at the low of the session. The truly bad news is that the index confirmed resistance at a key level and the price action suggests more down days are ahead of us.
The catalysts this week will be economic in nature. The key read for the week is on Friday in the form of the NFP report but there are other important data points due out as well. Next week, things change with the start of peak Q4 reporting season which is not expected to be a good one. While the analysts are upgrading a number of stocks with the start of the year the bulk of the analyst's activity is bearish and that trend is likely to continue.
