Stocks slipped on Monday as traders returned to their desk following the US Thanksgiving holiday and opted to peel back on risk amidst ongoing uncertainties. The S&P 500 Index closed lower by 1.54%, retracing last week’s holiday influenced gain and reaching back towards a confluence of major moving averages around 3900. As highlighted in our last market outlook, resistance around 4030 has become defined as traders show their hesitancy around the declining 200-day moving average, now at 4054. Bull-flag and cup-and-handle patterns remain intact on the chart, bullish setups that present upside potential so long as horizontal support at 3900 is unviolated.Variable support at the rising 20-day moving average also aligns with this horizontal hurdle, making this a highly pivotal point that all traders will want to monitor and set stops accordingly on portfolio positions. Momentum indicators continue to trend higher, relinquishing their characteristics of a bearish trend that had dominated through the first half of the year.
