Technical Assessment: Neutral in the Intermediate-Term
The major stock indices opened the day on Thursday with a nice gap higher, paused for a bit, and then ran to new intraday highs around noon. After that, we saw the proverbial "rug pull," with the S&P 500 (SPX) falling over 100 points and finishing at its lows for the day. While for only one day (and we have seen this before), it was an ugly reversal and did a bit more technical damage then prior one-day losses since mid-January.

We are raising our long-term technical outlook to Bullish and most likely will raise the intermediate-term outlook to bullish if we ever get a pullback. With the benefit of hindsight, both timeframes should have been changed to bullish either in the middle of 2023 or late 2023. Yet for the most part, the daily commentary in parts of 2023 and 2024 conveyed bull-market action in market breadth, as well as breadth and price thrusts typically seen in early bull markets. Things got tricky in October 2023, when the S&P 500 broke many key averages as well as its bull-market trendline off the October 2022 lows. In addition, market breadth fell back to bear-market territory. At the same time, the entire yield curve was in a strong uptrend, hitting and exceeding 5%.
