Headline News:

U.S. stock futures are higher to start the week on hopes of a new fiscal stimulus bill being passed in Washington. The Trump administration called on Congress to pass a stripped-down coronavirus bill after talks on a broader package broke down. Also, this week is the start of the third-quarter earnings season, and investors will be watching to see how companies have held up during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Markets:

The S&P 500 moved up to potential resistance at 3479.15 but did not get through closing at 3477.14. The RSI index also moved higher in support of the move closing higher at 60.72, and volume was again only average, with 2,223,308,544 shares traded. The last three trading days have the index in a potentially extended position, and we feel a close above potential resistance could prove difficult. A basing formation for the next few trading days wold be constructive to help continue the current uptrend. Potential resistance will remain at 3479.15, and possible support could now come at the 3458.07 level.

We are currently long-term bullish and short-term bullish.
