The S&P 500’s Stealth Correction Could Be Setting the Stage for a Q4 Rally
📊 This Week’s Market Takeaways
The stock market may have gone through a “stealth correction” without a headline-level selloff.
Here’s what stood out 👇
1️⃣ The equal-weight $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is down more than 5% from its peak.
The weakness underneath the index has been much deeper than the headline $SPY suggests.
2️⃣ Breadth has been beaten down.
Participation has weakened, while traders have been raising cash and becoming more defensive.
3️⃣ Momentum is coming back. 🚀
Momentum stocks are starting to regain strength, while profit margins continue pushing higher.
4️⃣ Valuations remain a concern. ⚠️
Several valuation measures are still historically elevated, leaving less room for disappointment.
5️⃣ The reset may be doing some work.
A stealth correction can clear excesses without requiring a broad market washout.
📈 If breadth stabilizes, momentum keeps improving and margins continue expanding, the setup could become more constructive heading into the Q4 seasonal window.
But the risks haven’t disappeared.
👀 Watch:
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF(MTUM)$
The market may have corrected more than the headline indices suggest.
