The S&P 500 is up more than 3% since Oct. 3, but many Wall Street technical analysts are skeptical the rally has legs.
The stock market is showing signs of shaking off its late summer slump, paving the way for a potential year-end rally. But many of Wall Street's top chart watchers aren't buying it. The S & P 500 is up more than 3% since Oct. 3 and has risen comfortably above its 200-day moving average near 4,200. That can sometimes be a positive sign in technical analysis because it means that a key area of downside support held firm.
This divergence has been a talking point for most of this year, and still has yet to be resolved. We remain in the camp that it's only a matter of time before the winners succumb to what most of the rest of the market has been saying for months now." The S & P 500, like the Nasdaq-100 , is a market-weighted index, so rallies in a few big stocks can sometimes give an unclear picture of how the rest of the market is doing.
