5-20-25 Patience, Grasshopper

Markets have improved in terms of breadth and trends, having come very, very far in a very, very short time. The S&P has been very over bought on momentum and relative strength; we are going to get a correction. That does not mean another 20% decline, but at some point a pullback will reverse some of the over bought conditions. We're also seeing this in the tech-weighted Nasdaq, which is very close to hitting its all-time highs. The whole Mag-7 group has broken above its trendline, and we have reversed all of the negativity. The Nasdaq, in particular, has begun building inverse head-and-shoulder patterns, reversing the negative trends building earlier in the year. Small Cap stocks, however, continue to suck this year, not having the recovery that large caps have had. The VIX remains very suppressed, with very little concern by investors whether or not there should be some type of correction. That type of complacency, in itself, is worrisome. Not even the Moody's downgrade was enough of a trigger for correction. June may hold the potential for a pullback in the market. For now, patience is the keyword.   Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEQXlux8Yfg&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Register for our next in-person event, "Retirement Income Empowerment Workshop," June 14, 2025: https://tracking.realinvestmentadvice.com/l/1052953/2025-05-08/ysxr ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketRally #MarketPullback #BuyTheDip #InvestorPatience #RaiseCash #MarketConsolidation #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA #200DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing
