The Nasdaq closed with a +0.35%, capping a week of gains that saw every day reach higher than the previous day. Volume was lower and faded in the last three days.

Investor Sentiment

The put/call ratio declined to 0.558. The put/call ratio (PCCE) is a contrarian indicator that shows overly bullish or overly bearish investor behavior. The 0.7 level is considered normal. Below that level is overly bullish.

Wrap-up

It was a great way to end the week with a 100% closing range on the daily and weekly charts. We got used to big swings to the upside in 2020 and early 2021. The gains we see now are slow and steady. Nevertheless, those gains are welcome and show deliberate investments vs. overly bullish gains from fear of missing out.

Looking forward to next week, watch for the producer price index data on Tuesday and the Fed comments and meeting minutes on Wednesday as critical moments for the market.

Stay healthy and trade safe!
