The Markets
There’s nothing new to report. Most stocks (not Energy) keep drifting lower. CPI and PPI data came out and there weren’t any big surprises. So the slow, summer selling continues.
Let’s get straight to the charts.
The Charts
SPY Opened at the June pivot high and got a little relief. The 8-day MA is still overhead and sloping lower while the 21-day MA starts to decline as well.
QQQ is in no-man’s-land and closed near the lows of the day. Keep an eye on $357 below.
IWM is still holding the support/resistance zone and ATH AVWAP while the 50-day MA tries to catch up.
DIA was perhaps the leader today and managed to close above the 8 and 21-day MAs.
TLT Treasury bonds are still under pressure.
BTC Bitcoin is struggling to maintain its recent gains but is still in the range and above the short-term MAs.
DXY The US Dollar is still a headwind for stocks, but it is approaching potential resistance. We will learn more about the significance of that area (or lack of) next week.
VIX Volatility continues to fall.
The Closing Bell
Next week’s calendar has a few events to watch: FOMC speakers and Meeting Minutes, along with earnings reports from HD, JD, WMT, DE, and several more.
Have a great weekend.
