Stocks defied sentiment yet again to rise for the 4th straight week. And next week, the S&P 500 Index will attempt to break through major resistance around 2030-2040.
Big question now is whether or not the stock market rally is in need of a healthy break after rising over 200 points (+10%) in a month.
Price is the final arbiter so investors will need to dig into the current construct and indicators.
But there is so much more than just equities to look at across the financial markets. Commodities have made a major comeback, and currency markets have had to absorb an onslaught of central bank activity.
We have a great list of reads with this week’s “Top Trading Links”. Dig in and enjoy.
