Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video
The technical picture shows a split market and the fundamental picture is also split. Large-cap techs are leading and the 5-day SMA crossed above the 200-day SMA for the S&P 500. However, small-caps remain weak and the Composite Breadth Model is at -3. The Fed came to the rescue with a big balance sheet boost, but yield spreads remain elevated and show stress in the credit market. Overall, it is a mixed picture. There are rotations within the market and the price swings are big, both ways. Today’s video will look at the current leaders that are in upswings and keep an eye on the current laggards, which are in downswings.
