Market shake-up alert: Will this game-changing rotation rock the S&P 500? [Video]

Ming Jong Tey Independent Analyst

Watch the video extracted from the WLGC session before the market open on 23 Jan 2024 below to find out the following:

The characteristics that could suggest a temporary pullback or consolidation in the market.
How is the Russell 2000's recent outperformance impacting the broader market dynamics?
Is the recent breakout signaling a genuine bullish trend, or are there potential pitfalls ahead?
The upside target for the S&P 500 and the key levels to watch out for.
and a lot more...

The bullish vs. bearish setup is 455 to 80 from the screenshot of my stock screener below. This is again back to a positive and healthy market environment based on the number of setups available.

However, the key remains in the market breadth, discussed in detail during the live session (How to Judge If The Rally Is Sustainable with the Market Breadth).

The breakout as discussed in the tweet below was finally resolved on last Friday:

"If it close below the low right there, then likely it will come back down and to test the swing low level.

The market breadth keep decreasing. That is not a good sign for a sustaining run. A long waited pullback or correction of the index is yet to come." $ES #SP500 $SPX pic.twitter.com/CLN4iu9hNn

EUR/USD flat lines near 1.1800 as traders brace for US PPI release

The EUR/USD pair trades on a flat note near 1.1800 during the early Asian session on Friday. The pair steadies as softer Eurozone inflation offsets US tariff uncertainties. Traders await the preliminary reading of the Consumer Price Index from Germany on Friday for more clues about the pace of future policy easing. On the US front, the Producer Price Index report will be released.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold remains below $5,200 despite tariff jitters and geopolitical risks

Gold is seen consolidating in a range below the $5,200 mark during the Asian session on Friday amid mixed cues. Trade jitters, along with the risk of a potential US-Iran war, act as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish outlook keeps the US Dollar close to the monthly high and caps the non-yielding yellow metal. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to register gains for the fourth straight week, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.
