Dawson says this key level needs to be breached for stocks to potentially consider a rally
According to NewAge Wealth’s Cameron Dawson, stocks rose on Monday, but not high enough to be considered a true market rally.
“We have to go through the most critical level of 4,100,” Dawson said Monday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.” Because 4,100 is the S&P 500’s 65-day high.
The S&P 500 never hit key moving levels in 2022 because it was bearish, Dawson said. If stocks break this level, it may indicate that the rally is likely to enter a new bull market cycle.
Technicals and positioning can only get a stock so far, he added, before a fundamental shift is needed to propel the stock forward.
“We need to see fundamentals change to really keep this rally going,” he said.
He warned that gains in stocks would likely be limited until the Federal Reserve fully pivots and stimulates the U.S. economy again.
“It’s unlikely that we can return to pre-pandemic multiples without the Fed’s help,” he said.
If stocks are able to rally and break 65-day highs, that would likely reduce the S&P 500’s chances of testing October lows, Dawson said.
