News:
Markets opened on a positive note on Wednesday. 30 mins into the trading session, the markets got a surprise…
Consumer Confidence rose “sharply.” The latest survey reversed “consecutive declines in October and November to reach its highest level since April 2022.”
Markets surged higher following the release and closed near the day’s highs. All four indexes posted solid gains…
- Dow Jones +1.6%
- Nasdaq +1.5%
- S&P 500 +1.5%
- Russell 2000 +1.7%
The bull’s victory was decisive this time … 74% of stocks advanced, while 22% declined.

Technicals:
While the market is showing clear signs of a reversal, there are still challenges ahead for the bulls.
The falling resistance level will likely contend any significant rally in the coming weeks.
Investors are already betting against the rally in strong numbers too.
- The Put-to-Call Ratio is very oversold
But the markets are not showing signs of fear…
- The VIX is very low, relatively speaking
A final note…
- RSI levels are all neutral
Timing:
2023 is now 6 trading days away.
The “Santa Rally” begins tomorrow.
