One could assert that Friday\u2019s market could have been even worse, considering everything that was thrown its way.  We had already written about the implementation of tariffs and the jobs report that featured a stunning revision<\/a> which led to a reassessment of the economic situation and the likelihood for imminent rate cuts.  Then in the afternoon, we learned of the President\u2019s intention to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a> (BLS), the resignation of a Fed Governor<\/a>, and the $200+ million verdict<\/a> against Tesla (TSLA).  Put that all together, and a big decline seemed more than understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, as if on cue, the dip buyers emerged in force this morning.  We have frequently referred to momentum-driven markets as obeying Newton\u2019s First Law of Motion<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless it is acted upon by a force<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday\u2019s market was emblematic of that effect.  Stocks had been following very solid uptrends, with external factors seemingly providing insufficient forces to disrupt the upward motion.  Sure, some stocks were battered recently by unpleasant reactions to their earnings reports, but even those downdrafts were not enough to darken the market\u2019s mood entirely.  Only after a confluence of factors was that path disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But today, like so many others, seems to be obeying a modified version of Newton\u2019s Third Law of Motion<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To every action, there is always opposed an equal reaction; or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the now-routine attempts to buy dips and then chase the bounces are not exactly equal and opposite reactions, they seem to come awfully close.  As I type this around noon EDT, the  S&P 500 (SPX) has recouped most of, but not quite all, Friday\u2019s decline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gap from Thursday has so far been nearly filled, but not completely.  Thursday\u2019s low was 6327.64 (with a 6362.90 close), and today\u2019s high as of now is 6320.35.  A push to close the gap seems kind of inevitable, no?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Friday\u2019s decline, which was quite easily explained, the cause for today\u2019s rally is a bit murkier.  It could be that rate cut expectations have solidified, but the odds for a cut haven\u2019t improved markedly since Friday, nor have we seen a significant move in 2-year rates today to reaffirm that.  It could be a reaffirmation of the \u201cFed Put\u201d,<\/a> the thought that impending rate cuts will bolster stocks no matter what.  That is basically a reiteration of the prior point, with the caveat that the \u201cFed Put\u201d is not really about the stock market<\/a> at all \u2013 it is the Federal Reserve stepping in to protect the broader economy or money market liquidity.   Besides, if that was the case we would expect to see longer-term VIX futures decline \u2013 why buy protection if the Fed will give it to you for free?  Despite the plunge in spot VIX and short-term futures, the long end is relatively firm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, I think the simplest explanation is the best.  Buying dips has worked so spectacularly well for active traders recently that they are loath to abandon that strategy.  Who can blame them when it has worked so spectacularly well?  It\u2019s not a question of whether traders will attempt to buy dips, but how aggressively will they step in during the decline and how aggressively will they chase the seemingly inevitable bounce.  For today at least, it is very nearly an equal and opposite reaction, with very little news and positive sentiment almost balancing out a highly consequential flow from the prior session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
