Market Rise Analysis
A day after the S&P 500 stopped short of its 200-day moving average, the major indexes pulled back on Wednesday. The Fed minutes moved the stocks but they eventually closed in about where they were at 2 p.m. ET.
Small companies and high-value growth stocks were the biggest losers, but the declines were broad outside the energy sector.
Dow Jones maintains support at the 200-day line. Russell 2000 has undermined this key level. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq did not reach it.
The market rally has come a long way from its June lows as the 200 day line is a clear resistance area. So this is the obvious time and place for major indicators to pause or pull back.
For now, the market rally appears to be reluctant to concede a lot of ground. It can be argued that further decline would be constructive. It will allow Apple and other stocks that have climbed to the right side of the bases to take a break and shape the handles.
But the market will do what it will. Indicators can quickly cross the 200-day line or regress sharply to the 50-day line, or worse.
