Description

Markets spent last week trapped in a tight range between the 20- and 50-day moving averages. The 20-DMA, which had served as support for weeks, has now flipped into resistance. Futures are pointing higher this morning, suggesting traders are positioning for a potential breakout — but confirmation will depend on whether markets can close and hold above the 20-DMA this week. If that level fails, expect renewed pressure on the 50-DMA, where a cluster of stop-losses could trigger a deeper pullback. Earnings will be the dominant catalyst — strong results and upbeat forward guidance could provide the lift bulls need to reclaim momentum. ⚠️ Key Takeaways: 20-DMA resistance, 50-DMA support — critical inflection point Earnings results will likely dictate direction Keep stop-losses tight and avoid over-reacting to short-term noise Overall trend remains bullish — for now Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the Video version of this report on our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/4qldYN8  ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #StockMarketToday #MarketAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #InvestingNews #StockMarketUpdate #TechnicalAnalysis #MarketMomentum #InvestingInsights #PreMarketReport
