Equity markets had a lot to give thanks for on Monday and rose 0.75%. The move took the S&P 500 to the highest level since July and is on track to continue higher. The market is at a critical resistance point that, if crossed, opens the door to a larger move. The S&P 500 could advance to the 4,800 level in this scenario before hitting its next resistance point.

This week is an uncertain time for the market. The end of the Q3 earnings reporting season is at hand, and holiday trading conditions are present. This means low volume and an above-average chance for volatility. Because the biggest name reporting this week is NVIDIA, there is a good chance that markets will be volatile on Friday. NVIDIA is expected to nearly triple its revenue compared to last year and may exceed that given the demand for AI and services.
