Stock Market Rally At Key Levels
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 continue to rebound from their 50-day support levels, on pace to extend win streaks to three sessions Monday. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq will again try to regain its 50-day moving average after reversing lower Friday.
Monday's Big Picture column commented, "The Nasdaq fell nearly 0.5% on Friday. But volume fell, even as monthly and weekly options expired. This indicated a lack of heavy institutional selling pressure. Plus, the tech-fortified composite scraped up a 0.3% weekly gain. In recent weeks, the 8.5% drop from a February all-time high of 14,211 has helped serve to remove some speculative froth."
