S&P 500: New Highs, Yes. But Weaker Internals Suggest Caution

The broad stock market, as measured by indices such as the S&P 500, continues to probe new all-time highs. Last week, there was a positive catalyst in the form of the CPI number, which was benign enough to raise hopes for a further rate cut by the Fed. There is support at 6,010, with much stronger support at 5,870, notes Lawrence McMillan, editor at Option Strategist.

Several Indicators Are Overbought at This Time

The fact that the S&P 500 (SPX) broke over the downtrend line that had existed for most of February and March doesn't necessarily mean that the SPX chart is outright bullish, though, for there is formidable resistance at both 4200 and 4300, says Lawrence McMillan of Option Strategist.

The Breadth Oscillators Have Now Rolled Over to Sell Signals

The oversold rally that began in early October was proceeding at a good pace, and was strengthened by a breakout over 3900. However, the comments by Fed Chairman Powell after the FOMC meeting knocked the market down significantly, says Lawrence McMillan of Option Strategist.
