After topping the impressive $35,000 level, the Dow Jones retreated in the afternoon and finishing in the red, snapping a 5-day win streak for the index. Market-wide pressure was seen today as the tech sector tumbled while last Friday’s monthly jobs report did not provide the support previous employment reports have. Amazon, Google, and Apple all saw significant dips as well as Tesla, Facebook, and Netflix. This dip in the tech sector was initiated by the poor jobs report which triggered a retreat for Treasury Yields. Gold and Oil Futures traded higher today as added focus on cryptocurrencies continues to grow- the latest featuring Dogecoin which saw volatile movement over the last trading days. Alibaba, DoorDash, and Disney headline earnings reports this week; key economic reports this week include March Job Openings, April CPI, and April Federal Budget while several key members of the Fed are due to speak this week as well. Asian markets traded higher for the most part while European markets are mixed. Our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $385-$425 for the next 6 weeks, following the latest rebound and slowing momentum behind treasury and currency markets. The $SPY has reached our target of $415-$425 based on the 6-month forecast from our Stock Forecast Toolbox and we encourage readers to raise cash at this point. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
