Low-Volume Area Below $3,320; High-Volume Area At $3,370; NDX, RUT, and SPX divergence.
Technical:
Broad-market equity indices ended the week higher with the S&P 500 retracing 50% of the sell-off.
During Last Week’s Action: Participants defended the low-volume area -- which denotes upside directional conviction -- below $3,320.
Most notable was what happened after Thursday’s failure to extend past responsive selling at the $3,370 high-volume ledge. The lack of conviction resolved itself in Friday's overnight liquidation on news that U.S. President Donald Trump contracted COVID-19, thus returning the market back into balance.
Defense of the low-volume area, alongside the development of low-excess highs during the U.S. cash session, suggests the potential for further upside. Auctioning through the low-volume area, however, may trigger downside follow-through, with the S&P 500 moving as far as the $3,198 swing low.

Fundamental:
ARK Invest CEO and CIO Catherine Wood suggested another stimulus bill would be released prior to the election, with Airlines being one major beneficiary. A problem with such a bill is that the economy has hit escape velocity and some of the stimulus included may not be necessary. bit.ly/33rFjoH
“We also, in terms of fiscal policy, hope that these policies are not going to get in the way of so-called creative destruction. What we mean by that is disruptive innovation tends to take off during difficult times. But, if companies and industries are being subsidized just to hang on a little longer, that’s probably not good for anyone.”
Simply put, Wood theorizes the government's stimulus of dying industries is a disservice, as it diverts resources to less productive areas of the economy.
