It’s been a rather quiet market for the past 4 weeks. But just when everyone was thinking that the tight trading range would give way to a pullback, stocks rallied and closed at all-time highs.
From a macro perspective, the move is both boring and meaningful at the same time. Boring: for the week, the S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP:.INX) rose 0.4%. Meaningful: the market closed at all-time highs and may be breaking out of a tight range.
Whether we get a breakout or a fakeout, the market finally appears to be ready for some action. Remember, patience is often a traders best friend.
We have some great reads this week, so let’s dig in.
