Free After-Hours Analysis:
The S&P 500 finished Thursday within three points of 4,100. Not bad for an “overbought” market.
It took a couple of months to rally from 3,900 to 4k, but it only took a few days to make the next step to 4,100. But that’s the way this goes; lunge…rest…lunge again…rest again…
I don’t expect this latest breakout to go a whole lot further before falling into the next consolidation. We will hit 4,100 imminently, but it could be a while before we get to 4,200. As the saying goes, two steps forward, one step back.
That said, as long as stocks keep going up, there is only one way to trade this. Keep holding for higher prices and lifting our trailing stops to the lower 4k’s.
