In Bull Markets we see more stocks making new highs.

That's just math right?

And when we talk about new highs, you'll often hear people discussing the new 52-week high list.

Until recently, this list was almost non-existent.

So while there's definitely a ton of more action there, we should really be seeing an expansion in new 1-month highs and new 3-month highs.

Crawl before you walk.

If this stock market rally has legs, more new highs is just mathematically necessary for that to occur.

It's a market of stocks.

Here's the 3-month high list on the New York Stock Exchange. An expansion in upside participation will go a long way in proving that, yes, in fact the path of least resistance is higher:

This market is range-bound at the moment. $SPY is stuck between 395 and 390.

The market truly might be waiting for next week for a big move. We've got November CPI on Tuesday and the Fed on Wednesday.

The Outperformers.

The Outperformers is our custom-made scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. It’s the fastest, easiest way to find quality names that are primed for significant moves.

The goal is that as the market rally progresses, the sector rotation within the market will reflect in this scan. So while our Top/Down Analysis helps us with the broader view of the market, this Bottom/Up scan makes sure that we catch the slightest change in sentiment.

The market breadth has definitely improved, but certain stocks are pushing higher on momentum, and we're here to identify just those! This week, we have a stock from the Auto sector making new highs. Let's take a look!

We retired our "Five Bull Market Barometers" in 2020 to make room for a new weekly post that's focused on the three most important charts for the week ahead.

This is that post, so let's jump into this week's edition.

The trek lower in the indices continues.

We're near $SPX 3,900 support. After that it's 3,860.

We need to recapture 3,960 to head back uphill.

The largest insider transaction on today's list is a Form 4 filing by Charles River Laboratories International $CRL director Richard F. Wallman.

Wallman revealed a purchase of $328,350 in CRL.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't know what the market is going to do next.

I have no way of possibly knowing if the S&P500 is going to double from here or if it's going to get cut in half. Gold can go to $5000/oz or $5/oz. Crude Oil can go to $250/barrel or $2. I just don't know.

We all have our 'opinions', sure. I mean, how can we not? We're humans right?

But we're making decisions with unknown information.

The market took another hit today. We broke below last week's lows and plowed through support levels.

The $SPX has support at 3,900, then 3,860. Resistance is at 3,959.

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

As of early this morning, futures are flat. The $SPX rejected the 200-day moving average yesterday and dropped right into support.

I'll be watching to see if SPX 3,962 is held throughout the day. Otherwise, we can see 3,932.
