Jul 22, 2024 | Stock Market Outlook

Prior Trading Day Summary:

On Friday stocks failed to bounce and selling persisted, albeit at a slower pace. By the end of the day the SPX was down 39 points to 5505. For the week, the SPX lost 110 points.

The NASDAQ ended Friday down 144 points to close at 17,726. For the week the index lost 671 points.

Let review the closing technical indicators from Fri Jul 19 2024 to see if selling will continue Mon Jul 22 2024 or a second bounce commence.


Stock Market Outlook: SPX Closing Chart For Fri Jul 19 2024

The index closed below the 21 day moving average and well below the Upper Bollinger Band. This is bearish but often signals a bounce.

The closing candlestick indicates the index is oversold after three strong sell-off days and should bounce but more downside is likely.

The 21 day moving average is still climbing continuing the latest up signal.

The 50 day moving average is climbing which is bullish.

The 200 day moving average is still climbing. The 200 day is at 5028 which is bullish and the 100 day is also climbing to 5272.

The Lower Bollinger Band fell below the 50 day moving average Wednesday which is bearish. The Upper Bollinger Band is turned sideways which is bearish.

The S&P chart is more bearish short-term than bullish. There are more than one signal advising stocks still have room to fall.

SPX Stock Market Outlook review of Fri July 19 2024


Stock Market Outlook: Technical Indicators Review

Momentum: Momentum is falling and negative.

  • Settings: For momentum I use a 10 period when studying market direction.
MACD Histogram: MACD (Moving Averages Convergence / Divergence) issued a down signal on Thur July 18. On Fri Jul 19 2024 the down signal was confirmed.

  • Settings: For MACD Histogram, I am using the Fast Points set at 13, Slow Points at 26 and Smoothing at 9. 
Ultimate Oscillator: The Ultimate Oscillator is falling and negative.

  • Settings: The Ultimate Oscillator settings are: Period 1 is 5, Period 2 is 10, Period 3 is 15, Factor 1 is 4, Factor 2 is 2 and Factor 3 is 1. These are not the default settings but are the settings I use with the S&P 500 chart set for 1 to 3 months.
Slow Stochastic: The Slow Stochastic has a down signal in place.

  • Settings: For the Slow Stochastic I use the K period of 14 and D period of 3. The Slow Stochastic tries to predict the market direction further out than just one day.
Relative Strength Index: The RSI signal is falling and negative.

  • Settings: The relative strength index is set for a period of 5 which gives it 5 days of market movement to monitor.  It is often the first indicator to show an overbought or oversold signal.
Rate of Change: The rate of change signal is falling signaling that Monday will end lower.

  • Settings: Rate Of Change is set for a 21 period. This indicator looks back 21 days and compares price action from the past to the present. With the Rate Of Change, prices are rising when signals are positive. Conversely, prices are falling when signals are negative. As an advance rises, the Rate Of Change signal should also rise higher, otherwise the rally is suspect. A decline should see the Rate Of Change fall into negative signals. The more negative the signals the stronger the decline.

Stock Market Outlook for Mon Jul 22 2024 

For Monday investors should still anticipate a second bounce attempt but more downside is still in the technical signals. The MACD technical indicator confirmed the next move will be lower for stocks. We should see that signal play out during the start of this week.
