Stock Market Commentary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After weeks of persistent selling, the stock market finally delivered bear market relief, with all major indices posting solid gains to end the week. Market breadth notably improved, signaling a shift in buying power that could indicate the start of a sustainable low. Note well that a sustainable low is NOT the same thing as a bottom; we only recognize bottoms in retrospect and after a substantial amount of time. For example, in bear markets, oversold conditions can repeat multiple times before a true bottom forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Friday’s action is encouraging, overall bearish trends remain intact, and volatility remains elevated. The resolution of the U.S.’s latest self-inflicted budget crisis<\/a> looked like a catalyst for Friday’s action, but I think the technicals were far more important. Looming over the technicals is the Federal Reserve’s meeting on Wednesday<\/a> which could tip the scales for the next major market moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
