The market had a strong week by clearing resistance and positioning itself towards a challenge of the 200 DMA at 2999. Also, there is an IHS that points to a challenge of all-time highs if prices are able to break out. This current scenario would have been inconceivable just a few weeks ago given all facts of the economy and the virus but the market is behaving like there is nothing to worry about. I personally thought prices would be much lower now since we have close 100,000 deaths due to the virus, 20,000+ infections every single day, and record unemployment. But the market is either very smart or very delusional. This virus problem is not going away anytime soon and looking at what some states are doing, we are going to have a larger second wave which will double the sick and the dead, unfortunately. One doesn't have to be a scientist to see the current disjointed approach to the problem doesn't work, especially when you start politicizing a national health emergency. So I don't see a V shape recovery the market seemingly is trying to price in and I am just going to continue to save cash until I see real pessimism (or realism in this case) take hold. There is going to be a wave of major bankruptcies coming soon.
I hope everyone is having a safe holiday weekend!
