Good MorningThe S&P 500 edged higher on Tuesday to set another fresh all-time high and may continue to move higher, although the risk of a price correction grows daily. The market's rise is driven by momentum and analysts' upgrades of NVIDIA, making it extended and vulnerable to a sell-off. In this scenario, the market could begin to pull back at any time, and the retreat could be sharp. The caveat for investors is that a full-blown market reversal and bear market are unlikely, so staying the course is the best option.
The S&P 500 is set up for a price correction but not a reversal, which means the next major price drop is a likely entry point for new money. The earnings outlook supports the uptrend, and it is robust. The only thing that can derail the market now is a shift in expectations, which is unlikely without a change in the fundamentals. As it is, the next change in fundamental conditions should be an interest rate cut by the FOMC, which should come by the end of the year.
