MARKET SUMMARY
- Market struggles with a hangover after the Wednesday Powell rush.
- Indices show doji below resistance, several big names as well. Still, others make some great moves.
- G-20 Friday may yield a 'for show' trade deal between US/China.
- A couple more days of testing would be perfect to resume the move higher.
Stocks were indeed a bit hung over after the Wednesday 2-part rally, the one before Powell and the surge post-Powell. Stocks rallied into the Wednesday close and as is often the case, they stumbled around the following session. Started lower, managed to move positive, but could not hold onto the rebound. A bit too soon after such a run on Wednesday.
SP500 -6.03, -0.22%
NASDAQ -18.51, -0.25%
DJ30 -27.59, -0.11%
SP400 -0.12%
RUTX -0.33%
SOX -0.81%
NASDAQ 100 -0.30%
VOLUME: NYSE -14%, NASDAQ -16%. Good to see volume fade as the indices paused the move. Good action.
ADVANCE/DECLINE: NYSE -1.1:1, NASDAQ -1.2:1.

If you look at the index charts and the big name charts you see a lot of doji.
DJ30 showed a tight doji just below the 50 day EMA SP500 showing a doji that tapped the 50 day EMA and 200 day SMA on the high before slipping back.
NASDAQ and NASDAQ 100 showed doji at some resistance from the early October and early November lows.
SOX had its doji below the 50 day MA, still in its problematic pattern.
SP500 below the 50 day EMA, though still quite some distance from it, and RUTX threw its doji in the middle of nowhere, just over the 20 day EMA.
Leadership and big names showed similar signals. AMZN flipped a doji just below the 200 day SMA after a big Wednesday. GOOG kind of, stalling to close just below the 50 day EMA. MSFT a doji over the 50 day EMA, CRM as well. PEP, JNJ flipped some doji as did the financials, e.g. C, BAC.
Not all, however. PFE, LLY, ABT continued with nice gains. Software surged again (DATA, VRSN, VMW, TEAM). MCD gapped higher along with BA. Not a complete session of pausing to reflect.
Still, lots of doji, many of the best moving indices near resistance. That can indicate a bounce is out of gas. Three sharp days upside into resistance. In a really weak market that can mean rollover. This market is not blowing anyone away the past two months with its upside strength, and thus you have to consider this as a potential rollover point. It is.
But, there is also the Fed backtracking on its hawkishness and a meeting Friday with Trump and Xi at the G-20. It is said that an 'appearance deal' will be struck, that something will be agreed to. In other words, they won't trade blows, hurl insults, but will act nice, agree to agree on some things, and thus both try to salvage a market rebound into yearend.
With those main market headache issues placated temporarily, you would look for the resolution of this doji to be upside and continue the market yearend rally that started this week. I would not expect Friday to generate a significant upside session unless something really decent happens at G-20. That may be reserved for the weekend announcements.
In any event, a 2 to 3 day pause at this juncture is just enough to keep people guessing and allow the market to resume the upside after the initial rush had people thinking of getting in. You know what I mean: the initial rush that catches them by surprise because they were not looking at the patterns, the MACD, the sentiment, the rush that is well underway before they even realize the upside is not reversing midday. They are then about to take the plunge when the market suddenly stalls at the 50 day EMA, 200 day SMA, etc. It stalls one day, then two, then three . . . surely the move is ending. That little 1-2-3 test/rest, however, rejuvenates the bids, and then they are back up and running toward yearend.
That is the way we see it for now -- duly noting that the Thursday doji could indeed be a stall signal versus a continuation doji. That can always happen, but again, the setup is right, the issues are being removed, and the bounce has started. It likely sees it through for a good part of December. After that, who knows.
We picked up a few positions (ADBE, LRCX, TEAM) and will continue to look for more, best after another 1 to 2 days of pause. That will put things ripe to move higher again. That is the perfect scenario, and of course you take what the market gives which often is not the perfect setup, though -- when you look at the double bottoms at the October low you cannot help but shake your head at the typical fall setup that again showed itself.

Bulls and Bears:
A significant drop in bulls below 40.00 with bears moving back up to 19.8, the recent range top. Bears remain reluctant to surge but bulls are doing a lot of the work for them by dropping into the thirties. This is getting closer to bounce-worthy numbers. Not new bull run numbers, but bounce-worthy.
Bulls: 39.6 versus 42.9
Bears: 19.8 versus 19.0
Theory: When everyone is bullish and has put all their capital to work, where does the ammunition to drive the market come from? There is always new money to start a new year. After that is used will more money be coming? That is the question.
Bulls: 39.6 versus 42.9

OTHER MARKETS
Bonds: 3.032% versus 3.061%. Bonds are forming an excellent handle to a double bottom formed in October. Looks as if bonds will break higher, rates lower.

Oil: 51.45, _1.16. A week holding 50. Oil is trying to set up for a bounce in its ugly downtrend.
Gold: 1224.10, +0.50. Holding the 50 day MA in a test after bouncing. Trying to set up for a move higher now that the Fed is off the strong hiking.
