U.S. markets saw solid gains in early morning trading only to gain additional support following the passing of the latest stimulus package in Congress. After passing through the Senate over the weekend, the House of Representatives approved the $1.9 trillion relief bill which should be signed by President Biden on Friday. Following the signing, the Dow Jones led the way with over 1.5% gain while the S&P and Nasdaq booked small gains. While the tech sector continued to see selling pressure, financial and energy stocks saw a boost today as yield rates saw a slight pullback following several sessions of gains. The latest consumer-price report indicated a slight increase in inflation last month while key employment data is due Thursday. February’s Federal Budget report was also released today and showed a $311 billion widening deficit, above expectations, from last year. Next week, several earnings are set to release including Nike, FedEx, and Dollar General, while Starbucks will hold its annual symposium. Globally, both Asian and European markets were mixed today. Until an additional breakout is maintained, our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $364-$390. It is our opinion the worst part of the correction is over and the SPY is close to a bottom. The next level of support is set at the 50-day moving average of $364-$370. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
