Monday’s momentum managed to lift the market up and while it is offering a glimmer of hope for the turnaround, it is still too early to say any momentum to the upside can be sustained. So we should continue to assume the market is bearish until there is more evidence it is not.

Wednesday was an important day for our assessment which had a heavy sell-off session. Price for the main markets are still between a resistance and support level but certainly very much bearish.
Each of the major indices dropped at least 3.5% amid the inflation concerns. All sectors ended the day in the red and did most stocks.

Large growth stocks hindered the follow-through from the end of last weeks glimmer of strength.

As you can see from the S&P chart below, it was another swinging trading session saw a volatile day end slightly positive for the Nasdaq, almost flat for the S&P and negative for the Dow Jones.
