The stock market seems to have entered a "TOC" or "Mania" phase of continued Success in what looks like a vertical climb since the 4th of July celebrations. The rate of change has shown that there is some acceleration in the trend, and is also reflected in the SPY ETF a reduction in trading volume and in part the increase in price is probably due to a lack of sellers. Yesterday RSI reflected an overbought of +85% and this may be giving a signal of possible profit taking.
If we compare it to the MSCI World / Emerging Markets or ACWI, the former two seem to be replicating the S&P 500 in detail even though the former replicates the 23 most developed countries. With 85% of the adjusted float of the capitalization of each of these countries. This index reflects 72.08% weighting with the US, 5.68% with Japan, 3.72% with the UK, 2.92% with Canada, 2.81% with France and representing the rest with 12.78%. Its weighting is IT (25.95%), Financials (14.84%), Health Care (11.77%), Industrials (10.68%), Consumer Discretionary (10.17%), Telecommunications (7.8%) among others.

Is this rally sustainable? The view I have on it is that the current rally looks unsustainable and is sustained on speculation bubbles and has entered a cycle of meaningless inertia. The volatility reached in the index currently stands at 61.28%, VIX has taken levels of 12.88%, but it looks flat, and seems to be moving in a rising direction again as it did in May. If we were to compare it to Bitcoin, it has fallen 20% and S&P500 has ignored the whole thing, and it shouldn't happen.
It is curious that this rally carries a very high concentration in companies like Nvidia which since 2022 have been gaining more weight and the top 5 account for 45% of the gains.
Do you think this rally will cut positions to the lows around 5,193.57 in September?
I look forward to your comments Ion Jauregui - ActivTrades Analyst
