Summer Rally Continues

On the heels of positive earnings reports from Alcoa and CSX, kicking off the new earnings season, the markets are up for the 6th consecutive day, around 6%. Traditionally, as reported in a prior post, July is a good rally month for the markets. I would call this a mini-rally because of the uncertainty going forward. Technically, all the major indexes are overbought - stiff resistance is ahead as the price levels near the 20, 50 and 200 day moving averages. Also, the rally is on lower than average volume, which shows a lack of conviction. Still, if earnings continue on an upbeat note, we should expect the rally to follow suit, barring any major new negative economic news.
