Market Momentum May Wane Ahead of Holiday, Spotlight on Key Stocks and Crypto

Published July 4, 2024

Recent trading patterns suggest a cautious sense of optimism among investors, correlating with the preceding market upsurge. However, with a shorter trading day on Wednesday, ending at 1 p.m. EDT due to the Independence Day break, expectations align with a probable drop in market volume. Such a scenario is commonplace preceding holidays and often leads to quieter trading sessions. Market participants have cast a watchful eye on the direction of the major indices, such as the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq, and the SPDR S&P 500 SPY, an exchange-traded fund that mirrors the S&P 500's performance.
