The Markets
Stocks edged higher on Tuesday as a reprieve in selling pressures provided hints that the negativity surrounding the front half of December tax-loss selling/portfolio rebalancing period has come to an end. The S&P 500 Index closed with a minor gain of one tenth of one percent, charting a rather indecisive doji candlestick as the benchmark struggles to overcome short-term oversold territory. The benchmark remains in the span of the upside open gap between 3770 and 3860 that was charted early in November, a zone that continues to be looked upon as logical support for the Santa Claus rally period that is now upon us. The more intermediate trend of the market remains that of lower-lows and lower-highs, capped by declining trendline resistance just above 4000, while a minor point of resistance can be pegged around 3900.
