Technicals:
After a breakout, it’s typical to see the market retest the former resistance to confirm support.
With that in mind, take a look a today’s chart…
With the 50-day moving average (blue) above the 200-day (pink), this breakout is likely to be much strong and see a bigger follow-up than previous breakouts.
After reviewing our indicators…
- The VIX fell dramatically below critical resistance
- RSI levels are all neutral
- The Put-to-Call Ratio remains oversold … that’s four days now
We remain in a neutral stance.
