November 15 Market Update | Technical, Fundamental, News

Description:

An analysis for the week ahead.

Points of Interest:

Four-Day Balance, $3,580 Spike Base, $3,506.25 Excess Low, Friday’s Late Rally Away From Value.

Technical:

Broad-market equity indices ended the week mixed with S&P 500 closing at a new all-time high.

During Last Week’s Action: Alongside the unwind of election hedges and news that a vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX) was effective in preventing cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus, market participants showed increased confidence in their exploration of higher prices.

Going back, last week started off with a clear break and acceptance above the $3,500 high-volume area, which suggested initiative buyers were firmly in control. Index futures pared gains after Monday’s end-of-day spike liquidation, balancing for the remainder of the week.

Given Friday’s end-of-day rally, away from value, the week ended just above the balance area, providing a clear trading framework for the week that follows. Therefore, if participants were to continue their initiative activity and spend time outside of the balance area, then it's likely the market will continue higher. Otherwise, the potential exists for a failed break, which may precede re-entry into the prior balance area, and further range-bound, responsive trade.

Fundamental:

In a commentary, BlackRock discussed investing after the U.S. election and suggested more of the same market trends. bit.ly/32OyiNT

“Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential race likely ushers in a near-term market environment dominated by low rates, a hunt for yield and growth stocks. A Democratic takeover of the Senate looks unlikely, which would constrain the Biden administration’s ability to implement large-scale fiscal stimulus and public investment, tax, healthcare and climate related legislation.”

Additionally, BlackRock cautioned investors to pay attention to economic data from the euro area and U.S., as well as watch for the government’s response to the resurgence of COVID-19 coronavirus cases which may pressure the pending recovery.
