The Markets
Stocks rallied on Monday, attempting to erase some of the decline recorded last week, as traders attempted to reload on some of the technology stocks that recorded steep declines in the past few days. The S&P 500 Index ended higher by 1.08%, retaking levels back above its 20-day moving average (5545) that was broken at the end of last week. Momentum remains near-term negative following last week’s decline, but some relief on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) around the 50-line is attempting to keep characteristics of a bullish trend intact. A short-term downside gap remains open between 5622 and 5658, a zone that will act as the cap to the summer rally that has now past its average peak. The time is here to prepare portfolio strategy for the period of volatility for stocks that runs through the next three months.
