5-22-25 The Pullback We Needed

Markets sold off Wednesday, and we're still approaching a sell signal, which will be mild, at best. The 20-DMA has been very quietly sneaking up on the 100- and 200-DMA alignments. This is building a lot of support around 5,750. Yesterday's pullback was a much-needed event. The 50-DMA has also bottomed and is now turning positive, which is also supportive for higher stock prices. This sell off was not the beginning of the next leg down for the markets, but it is the pullback needed to get markets in a better position. Economic growth is still around 2.3%, employment data is fine, and there is no apparent sign of recession. Economically-sensitive sectors are continuing to perform well, which tells us that markets are okay with economic growth. Interestingly, without Fed intervention, interest rates have risen to about where economic growth should be. By the way, Bitcoin has been on FIRE lately, hitting new records at $110,000 Wednesday. Bitcoin is extremely over bought. Bitcoin is a great proxy for stocks and risk-taking. Right about now is when you should take a little bit of profits.
