Market Evaluation

Stocks advanced Thursday as investors parsed data indicating continued economic growth and the latest corporate earnings reports.

We are on a track for 6 consecutive quarters of positive GDP growth. We have not had 2 consecutive quarters with declining GDP since Q2 2022.

Stronger-than-estimated US gross domestic product figures defied gloomy forecasts for a recession, bolstering the outlook for Corporate America.

Markets Breakdown

On Yesterday’s market update video Here, we highlighted the importance of focusing on value and not price.( Skip to 9:15 in the video)

Despite an aggressive selloff at the closing hours, the market today retraced right back inside the previous day’s value area, much like we were looking since yesterday.

What we wanted to see was the overlapping value areas which is a form of balance.

The market after this video we’ve made and pointed this out made an upside of over 0.78%. 

That’s the difference between looking at price itself and where market found value to conduct business and simply returned back into.

ES

Today’s market report gave a perfect reaction at the first key resistance we were looking early in the session. Read the report posted 7 hours ago into the overnight session HERE. Bulls need to reclaim above this area as highlighted for any meaningful continuation, read the update HERE

The targets we look for until NY close & Targets to pay attention Tomorrow:

  • Upside Levels: 4923/4937/4960

  • Downside Levels: 4898/4881/4859

That’s it for today.
