After an outstanding first quarter in 2024, could stocks be hitting a figurative wall heading into the second quarter? Blue Line Futures President Bill Baruch and Unlimited Co-Founder, CEO, and CIO Bob Elliott sit down with the Market Domination hosts to discuss their market outlooks, which Elliott states could be entering "a turning point" in the second-quarter tied to the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut pressures. "We have had a heck of a little run, I'm looking at the 21-day moving average... we haven't closed below the 21-day moving average for the S&P since January 17. In fact, we've only closed below it three times this year... but before that it's been November 1," Baruch states.

We're seeing areas like semis, which have had an amazing run starting to pull back. And then you're seeing areas like utilities which have lagged over the last few months start to actually perform well. There's different parts of the market doing different things.
