The Action to Watch on 5/30
It’s late night on Memorial Day. The last wine cork has been popped. The coals on the barbeque have gone cold. There’s a pile of pool towels dampening the tiles on the side of the Jacuzzi. And stock futures have just opened for trading – down one point. It looks like we’re going to start this week pretty much the same way we ended the last one: in a tight, lethargic trading range.
The Crystal Ball Sees Danger Ahead
The stock market ground to another new all-time high yesterday. The S&P 500 rolled right over the negative divergence that had built up on the intraday charts over the past three days, and closed at 2415. The bulls are in control. They have the momentum. The market can certainly press higher from here. But, I have to warn you… there’s danger ahead. Any further gains in the market in the short term are likely to be given back over the next few weeks.
