The Bounce Continues
The Bounce Continues
Monday Market Update October 9, 2023
The Markets
Stocks continue to head higher today despite horrific news out of Israel over the weekend.
After gapping down and trading lower in the early hours stocks slowly began to rise. Then an afternoon rally kicked things into a higher gear moving SPY and QQQ beyond last week’s highs.
All S&P Sectors were positive with Energy XLE leading the way, up more than 3%.
The change of character for the market is notable. Stocks are moving higher on bad news, an occurrence noted here before. Shrugging It Off
from Shrugging It Off - March 31, 2023
There is more news later this week as well.
CPI, PPI, FOMC meeting minutes, and several bank earnings reports are coming.
We’ll see if it is good or bad, and how the markets react.
The Charts
SPY has a very strong two-day move now back into the support/resistance zone from June and nearing its 21-day moving average. The August pivot low is potential resistance as well. Expect some back-and-forth near this level.
QQQ moves on past the gap fill and into the 50-day MA.
IWM is back over the 8-day MA to regain some short-term momentum.
DIA is moving well, like the others. But, it is still below the 200-day MA. Recapturing that level, and then staying above it will be a very important move.
TLT moved higher even though the bond market was closed today. See if it gets some follow-through tomorrow.
DXY continues to sell off providing relief for stocks to move higher.
The Closing Bell
The charts are improving. Will inflation data later this week derail the move in stocks? Or do cooling prices allow the Federal Reserve to consider a more dovish stance?
Continue to follow the process, looking forward to each next step, whether higher or lower.
Back with more on Thursday.

Hope you are having a good month 🙂 appreciate you sharing these! And really enjoyed your conversation on YouTube w T3 the other day.
Such a wild day looking at a lot of price action... always nice to see it broken down simple from you. Hope all is well. It’s been a weird year. Made money with super micro the first time. Really should not have got back in. We learn and I cut loss quick. My 2nd best trade of the year was to inverse tesla through ETF. My only really bad trade was staying with Rockwell medical. This is what happens when you get away from those charts. 🙃 I’m only up 9.13% one year. Underperforming s and p 500.
