5-21-26 Momentum Pause Before Summer Rally? | Before the Bell

Markets triggered a short-term momentum sell signal, but that does not automatically mean a major correction is underway. The bigger question is whether stocks can hold key support at the 20-DMA while working off overbought conditions driven by the recent momentum chase. Oil prices, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, and rising margin debt are all contributing to increased volatility risk near-term. However, if markets can consolidate through June without breaking key support levels, the setup for a stronger July rally could remain intact. In today's Before the Bell, we discuss why the real correction risk may not emerge until later this Summer, what election uncertainty could mean for August and September markets, and why the 20-DMA is the technical level investors should be watching right now.
