Abstract:Powered by WikiFX: (DXY, S&P, Nasdaq) Technical Analysis July 14 , 2023
CONFIRMATION OF INFLATION HITTING THE US DOLLAR HARD, LIFTING EQUITIES
The May inflation print revealed that core inflation had fallen below the previous sticky range of 5.4% - 5.7% for the first time, printing at 5.3%. However, it appears that markets have received more confirmation of the US disinflationary trend when June's core CPI data came in below the consensus forecast of 5%, eventually coming in at 4.8%. The headline measure, as well as the PPI, which was released ahead of the US open today, have been trending lower for some time.
TECHNICAL LEVELS IN THE S&P 500 TO CONSIDER
The S&P 500 (E-mini futures chart) suggests a higher open today, with the flagship US index poised to test resistance near 4528 (the 78.6% retracement of the 2022 major decline) and 4550. Pullbacks in the index have been difficult to come by, but prices have ended lower in two separate weeks. Bullish momentum accelerated after the declines, as bulls saw better entry points to resume the upward trend.
As prices edged higher yesterday only to close below 4510, the daily chart can help identify the new yearly high. Today, the futures market sees 4550 as the next level of resistance, with 4585 and 4630 following. Given the steady increase, support levels have become difficult to identify, but the swing low of 4411 is the most important level to monitor. For those expecting pullbacks soon, the RSI is just inches away from re-entering overbought territory.
The NASDAQ 100 index INTEREST LEVELS IN TECHNOLOGY
The Nasdaq, which has led the US equities race this year, is approaching a complete retracement of the major 2022 decline. What's more impressive is that this run has occurred during a year in which interest rates have continued to rise, albeit at a slower pace, thanks to a handful of megacap stocks and AI players.
The market appears motivated to reclaim all of the lost ground in 2022, as evidenced by a move above 15,260 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 2022 decline. Weekly momentum appears to be strong, having remained overbought since the end of May. As long as prices stay within the ascending channel, the uptrend will continue.
On the daily chart, the move above what would have been considered a double top if prices had not rallied higher is clear. The September level of 15,710 is the next level of resistance, with 16,260 indicating near-term bullish fatigue. The index is on the verge of becoming overbought ahead of next week's start of tech earnings, which will be led by Tesla and Netflix after the major banks.
