2016-07-17 - US Stock Market Averages
COMMENTARYLast week was very positive for US stocks. All indexes remain above their moving averages, and price/volume action was strong (i.e. rise on higher trading volume, fall on lower trading volume). OEW analysis still shows an uptrend as well.
Given that market prices are near all time highs, I expect some selling pressure over the next few days, but not enough to derail the uptrend. With the indexes quite a bit above their short-term moving averages, traders are likely to take profits while investors look for opportunities to add to their positions when the trading subsides.
