The S&P 500 (SPY) recorded its fourth consecutive weekly gain, finishing higher by +3.6% on a beneficent confluence of political and economic news. This move left the major indices and constituent sectors highly overbought across the board on multiple time frames to a degree that rarely fails to precipitate a subsequent pull back.
Of course, the Paul Harvey “rest of the story†is that determining what constitutes overbought using historical precedents becomes extremely difficult in light of $600 billion of planned Quantitative Easing. Indeed, add to this parallel efforts abroad featuring Japan’s pledge to buy ETFs and REITs directly, and it’s mighty hard to ultimately argue against a continued bullish end-of-year run [see range predictions].
Week Forty-Five of 2010 features a (thankfully?) slower economic reporting calendar, as follows:
- U.S. Economic Calendar
- U.S. Earnings Calendar
- Planned Open Market Operations
- Historical Market Analogues
- ETF Rotation Models [Custom]
Note how I have added Open Market Operation (“POMOâ€) days to the weekly link set. I hope you are having a terrific weekend!
