The U.S. market is in a Rally Attempt. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have now held above Monday’s low for four sessions. We are now looking for a follow-through day before shifting the market into a Confirmed Uptrend or, conversely, an undercut of Monday’s lows (S&P 500: 2,801; Nasdaq: 7,627) before shifting the market back into a Downtrend. A follow-through day should feel like an explosive rally, with indices preferably up 1.7% or more, on heavier volume than the day before.

The U.S. market is in a Downtrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq staged upside reversals, rallying for a second straight session. Both are now testing resistance at their respective 50-DMA (S&P 500: 2,864; Nasdaq: 7,854). We will move the market status to Rally Attempt today should indices hold above the lows from Monday. From that point forward, we will be looking for either the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to recapture and hold above their respective 50-DMA or for a follow-through day before upgrading the market back to a Confirmed Uptrend.

The U.S. market is in a Downtrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq rallied yesterday and are now facing resistance at their respective 50-DMA (S&P 500: 2,863; Nasdaq: 7,849). We will be looking for each index to regain and hold above that level of resistance before turning more positive on the general market. Should indices reverse lower, we will be looking for the 200-DMA (S&P 500: 2,776; Nasdaq: 7,531) to act as support.

Yesterday, European markets ended in the red amid retaliation from China regarding tariff hikes (25% from June 1). Further, the release of unfavorable China vehicle sales data (-14.6% y/y in April) impacted the Auto sector, as German car makers anticipate further decline in demand from the Asian country.

  • The Stoxx 600 was down 1.3% on higher volume, adding a distribution day. It is trading below the 50-DMA and retracing towards the March low (at 369.74). The index is in an Uptrend Under Pressure with four distribution days.
  • Germany’s DAX declined 1.52%, mainly impacted by more than 8% decline in shares of Thyssenkrupp (TKAX.DE; TKA:GR) owing to the end of the merger with Tata Steel (TIS.IN; TATA:IN). France’s CAC 40 fell 1.22%, followed by the U.K’s FTSE 100, which slipped 0.55%.
