Description:
An analysis for the week ahead.
Points of Interest:
Balance Area; Acceptance Below Composite HVN; Numerous Tests Of LVN.
Technical:
Broad-market equity indices ended the week lower with the S&P 500 correcting to $3,280.
Recapping last week’s action, alongside progress in COVID-19 vaccine development, on Monday, participants rejected the prior week's low, establishing value higher on a gap. Ahead of the Federal Reserve's two-day meeting, Tuesday’s session confirmed the upside directional conviction, trading up to a multi-day ledge formed by mechanical sellers. In light of Fed statements, after the ledge proved resistive for two days straight, the market liquidated through Friday’s session, testing and accepting value near a low-volume area that formerly denoted directional conviction to the upside.
Overall, the market’s weakness on economic concerns and acceptance of value below a composite high-volume area, confirms the near-term change in conviction. That said, indices keep testing the low-volume area below $3,320. Acceptance within the low-volume area may foreshadow a test of $3,270, the next-closest high-volume concentration which could slow prices enough to allow responsive longs entry at more favorable prices.

Fundamental:
Albert Edwards, chief investment strategist at Societe Generale SA (OTC: SCGLY), suggested rapid money supply growth will worsen the deflationary bust.
“Why? The flipside to looking at money supply growth is to look at its counter-parties on the asset side of the banks’ balance sheets. It is clear that the main driver for the recent explosive 25% monetary growth has been bank lending to industrial and commercial companies, which despite only comprising a quarter of total bank lending has contributed some 70% of the total rise in lending over the past year, surging 30% yoy. One thing we now know for sure after Japan’s lost decade: keeping zombie companies alive with “extend and pretend” bank loans creates deflation, not higher inflation.” bloom.bg/3cfrQmF
Simply put, indebtedness and malinvestment will waste resources, thus lowering economic growth prospects.
