CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) — With just five and a half sessions remaining this month, November has thus far been quietly constructive.
The small- and mid-cap benchmarks have initially drawn muted selling pressure at major resistance, while the S&P 500 Index is traversing uncharted territory.
Before detailing the U.S. markets’ wider view, the S&P 500’s hourly chart highlights the past two weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P has pulled in modestly from its latest all-time high.
The index bottomed Wednesday at 2,040 — matching near-term support — before rising to close at 2,048.
Meanwhile, the Dow industrials’ near-term backdrop is similar.
The index slipped two points in Wednesday’s action, closing at 17,685.
From current levels, the 17,640 area remains an inflection point, and is followed by firmer support at last week’s low, just under 17,540.
And the Nasdaq Composite’s backdrop remains distinctly technical.
The index has twice maintained its breakout point this week, bottoming Monday and Wednesday at 4,655.
This area remains first support, while resistance spans from 4,702 to 4,710.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
On this wider view, the Nasdaq’s November price action remains bullish.
Again, first support rests at 4,654 — a level matching this week’s low — and is followed by a firmer floor at the September peak.
Moving to the Dow, the blue-chip benchmark is refusing to pull in.
To beat a dead horse, its first significant support rests at the September peak, spanning from 17,280 to 17,350.
The November low of 17,278 matches this area.
And the S&P 500 Index has sustained a less-decisive break to record territory.
Consider that Wednesday’s close of 2,048 came in 29 points, or 1.4%, above support at the September peak.
The bigger picture
With just five and a half sessions remaining this month, November has thus far been quietly constructive.
Recall that the S&P 500 notched five straight one-point daily moves before extending its uptrend modestly this week.
Against this backdrop, the immediate technical tests rest elsewhere:
Returning to the small-caps, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF
Consider that its 200-day currently rests at 114.10, and the IWM bottomed Wednesday at 114.37.
This area marks major support, and the IWM’s technical bias points higher barring a violation.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P MidCap 400
Recall that its all-time closing high rests at 262.60, and the MDY has topped this week at 262.56.
To the extent the MDY holds tightly to its range top — and it has, to this point — the chances of an eventual breakout improve.
Separately, consider the MDY’s impending golden cross, or 50-day/200-day moving average crossover, signaling that the intermediate-term uptrend has overtaken the longer-term trend.
More broadly, the underlying technicals, including sentiment, remain bullish.
For instance, the Volatility Index has spiked as much as 12.8% in Thursday’s early action — reaching its second-highest November reading — despite a muted early broad-market downturn.
All told, the near-term market technicals remain constructive, while the more important longer-term bias points firmly higher.
Editor’s Note: This is the last review until Monday, Nov. 24. Have a great weekend.
Thursday’s Watch List
The charts below detail names that are technically well positioned. These are radar screen names — sectors or stocks poised to move in the near term. For the original comments on the stocks below, see The Technical Indicator Library.
Profiled Monday, the SPDR Gold Trust’s
As detailed previously, two inflection points stand out:
- GLD resistance at the early-October low of 114.42.
- The top of the October gap at 114.94.
The GLD has topped this week at 115.35, before selling off from resistance on increased volume.
Broadly speaking, this area matches major overhead on the 10-year chart, and marks the immediate bull-bear battleground.
Beyond the near-term, gold’s primary trend points firmly lower pending a close atop its five-month trendline.
Looking elsewhere, the Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF
As illustrated, the group has edged to 13-year highs, clearing resistance at the September peak.
This week’s upturn comes from a tight three-week range — and resolves a bullish V-shaped reversal — improving the chances of a more decisive breakout.
Late last month, the shares gapped to all-time highs, rising after the company’s strong third-quarter results.
By comparison, the ensuing pullback has been flat, driven by lighter volume, placing the shares at an attractive entry near first support. The risk/reward can be favorable from current levels with a stop at the November low.
MasterCard is also well positioned on the weekly chart.
Tesoro Corp. US:TSO is a large-cap oil refiner positioned to rise. (Yield = 1.7%.)
The shares initially spiked three weeks ago, rising to all-time highs after the company’s quarterly results.
It’s subsequently established a bullish flag, positioning the shares to build on the initial breakout.
Kate Spade & Co. US:KATE is a mid-cap retailer coming to life.
Earlier this month, the shares gapped sharply higher, rising atop the breakdown point and the 50-day moving average.
The ensuing pullback has been orderly, placing the shares at an attractive entry near first support, and 8.5% under the November peak.
DSW, Inc. US:DSW is a mid-cap shoe retailer showing signs of life. (Yield = 2.4%.)
Technically, the shares have edged atop the 200-day moving average for the first time since January.
This week’s upturn comes from an orderly three-month base — underpinned by gap support — positioning the shares for a potentially more decisive breakout.
Note that the company is scheduled to report its quarterly results on Nov. 25.
JetBlue Airways Corp.
As illustrated, the shares have edged to seven-year highs, rising after the company announced plans to add seats and new baggage fees.
The upturn was driven by a volume spike, improving the chances of a more decisive breakout.
Editor’s Note: This is the last review until Monday, Nov. 24. Have a great weekend.

On Feb. 5 we mark the 100th anniversary of the fire that destroyed the main building on the original King’s campus in Windsor, Nova Scotia and set the stage for our relocation to Halifax in 1929. To remember this event in our College’s history, that in many respects made us who we are, the King’s community is invited to join President Lahey, Her Worship Anna Allen, Mayor of Windsor, and our Librarian and Archivist, Janet Hathaway, in the Wardroom 4–5 p.m. for a wine and cheese reception.
For this ‘Remembrance Hour,’ Janet will be sharing images from the fire that have never been previously presented to the community. They are from a photograph album compiled by Ingham Wright Palmer, a King’s student in 1919-1920 and given to King’s by his daughter, Mrs. Aleah Palmer Lomas BA’48 of Sherbrooke, Guysborough County, in 1991. There will be a short reading and the hour will conclude with the ringing of the Chapel Bell, followed by Evensong in the Chapel for those who wish to go.

Ferrari used the 2019 Autosport International motorsport meet in the United Kingdom last week to announce the launch of the new Club Competizioni GT program.
Similar to the existing Corse Clienti program, which organizes track days for owners of Ferrari's historic Formula 1 race cars, Club Competizioni GT is designed for owners of the Prancing Horse's GT racers going back to the year 1989. The timeline covers 12 cars, including everything from the F40 Competizione and F50 GT right up to the current 488 GTE and GT3.
Club Competizioni GT isn't a race series—though we're sure drivers will be battling it out with one another—but rather the program provides an opportunity for owners of these impressive machines to take to some of the world's top race tracks and drive their cars in anger. For the inaugural season running in 2019, the tracks include Vallelunga, Mugello, Indianapolis and Fuji. A fifth and final round will be held again at Mugello to coincide with Ferrari's Finali Mondiali end of season celebration.
Owners participating in the Club Competizioni GT will also enjoy full support from the factory to ensure their cars are in top order. There will also be professional drivers on hand to provide instruction.
The first round will take place at Italy's Mugello from April 9-10.

Lib Dems pledge to take Britain back into Europe
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron has pledged to fight the next General Election on a platform taking Britain back into Europe.
Since Britain voted for Brexit on Thursday thousands of people have joined the Liberal Democrats.
Tim Farron has now said that in any upcoming national election he will promise to rejoin the European Union.
The economic uncertainty will affect jobs, people's homes and livelihoods.
The Liberal Democrats accept the result of the referendum but plan to make the case for us to rejoin the heart of Europe.
Tim Farron said:
"For many millions of people, this was not just a vote about Europe. It was a howl of anger at politicians and institutions who they felt they were out of touch and had let them down.
"The British people deserve the chance not to be stuck with the appalling consequences of a Leave campaign that stoked that anger with the lies of Farage, Johnson and Gove.
"The Liberal Democrats will fight the next election on a clear promise to restore British prosperity and role in the world, with the UK in the European Union, not out.
"If you agree with us, join us to make this happen."
Our fight for an open, optimistic, hopeful, diverse and tolerant Britain is needed now more than ever.
People have been joining the Liberal Democrats at the rate of one a minute since Britain voted to leave the European Union.
There has been a surge in applications since Tim Farron, the party’s leader, committed it to fighting the next election on a promise to rejoin the EU.
The party said it had attracted over 8,000 new recruits since the the pro-Brexit vote was announced on Friday morning.
Mr Farron said: “A lot of people have felt this very deeply. They are concerned that the Brexit leaders clearly had no economic plan and are understandably fearful about what lies ahead for jobs and investment.
“But more even than that, these new members want to demonstrate that Britain remains an internationalist, open and optimistic country.
“We are now the only party committed to keeping our place in Europe. As the other two parties leave the field of battle, it falls to us to fight for our European future.”
The spike in membership comes on top of an increase of 20,000 after the 2015 general election.

Merely a day before we were in Lucerne, Switzerland, taking the train back to Zurich and quietly sipping our morning cappuccinos. The views from the window, across the Swiss countryside, rolled by like scenes from an old film. My passport was clutched tightly in my hands, knowing the next big adventure awaits, my heart leaping with adrenaline and already yearning for more.
Once in Zurich, we hopped on our flight to Nice, France, arriving only to find that the rental car place was closed and we had to drag our suitcases across gravel down at least a half a mile while we screamed at each other that we weren't going the right way.
An hour later we reached our Airbnb in Nice. Although not impressed with Nice, we chose it for the ease of exploring the French Riviera. Just a note, the city is strict with street parking and there often isn't a place to easily leave your car--all things to keep in mind when scouting accommodations.
Rested and ready to conquer after a night's rest, we used the car's GPS in French and set out to...Eze! Eze is a magical Alpes-Maritimes town in Southeastern France. A tiny area, this charming town rests on a hilltop on the Cote d’Azur. About 40 minutes from Nice to Eze, you can also take the 82 or 112 bus. Both stop at Eze Village, and from there it’s only a short climb to the top.
Espresso in hand, we started at the bottom of the fortress, the gardens and lush greenery lining a windy pathway to the mountain's peak. Cobblestone streets led us to the luxury Chateau de la Chevre d'Or hotel, awaiting visitors like a dreamer's paradise (Walt Disney even paid a visit to this splendid hotel).
Tiny cacti thrive in the Mediterranean heat, amongst winding art galleries and beautiful statues. The ruins of this castle city remain, sprinkling history amongst present day. Once reaching the top of this small castle city, the view of the French Riviera was breathtaking. Salt air filled my mouth and breezed through my hair, as a storm rolled in the distance. The Eglise Notre Dame de l’Assomption, built in the 18th century, was strong and fierce in the thunderous skies, it’s clock tower gleaming.
Admission: 6 euro
Eze Village, France
