5-6-24 Markets' Critical Resistance at 50-DMA

Markets are right at the 50-DMA which is critical resistance. It's make or break time: If markets break to the upside, we'll try to retest previous market highs at around 5,200. 80% of earnings reports are behind us, and those were "not great" with a very low beat rate. The majority of growth came from large cap companies. Earnings misses were brutally punished; rewards were not that great. The pressure at the moment is to the upside with the Fed becoming somewhat dovish at the moment. External distracions like the whether we'll get a recession, what's happening with ther Yen, and the geopolitical situation: Pay attention to markets in the near term with bias to the upside. IF we break below the 100-DMA, then we'll have someething to talk about.
