Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirmed the Fed’s decision to leave benchmark interest rates unchanged as well as continued support throughout the pandemic. Powell stressed “fiscal policy” and stated the Fed is not looking to close or downsize their current emergency lending facilities; similarly, Powell advised Congress to fast-track additional coronavirus aid.

At this moment, we still believe the market is overbought. Our “worst-case” short-term scenario remains $296 as our models are projecting the SPY to trade between $296-$330. As long as the market trades above the $323 level for the SPY, Market Commentary readers can consider adding to their positions using market pullbacks. Short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY nears $293 and we will look to be buyers into any short-term corrections. We will continue monitoring the VIX as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near $30 level, and we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
