Looking at the current market conditions and how to prepare for the next market move, we are watching the $VIX which is trading near the 30 level. The $BABA, $NVDA, and $MRVL earnings this week can influence the next move in the market. We are also watching the overhead resistance levels in the SPY, which are presently at $396 and then $410. The $SPY support is at $385 and then $380. We expect the market to continue the bottoming process for the next 1-2 weeks. In the short term, the market is oversold and due for a rebound. Following the release of the latest Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting minutes, U.S. stocks closed higher today.
All three major U.S. indices finished in the green today, with the Dow posting a 4-session win streak. Markets were supported by the signaled flexibility of the Fed which was noted in the latest FOMC minutes. The central bank remained open to adjusting its aggressive plan to raise rates as a response to inflation. Still, high inflation remains a key focus and the Fed will look to improve financial conditions. A half-a-percentage raise in the next two meetings are seen as very likely while also noted in the minutes was the bank’s intent to reduce its $9 trillion balance sheet. Globally, Asian markets finished with mixed results while European markets closed in the green. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
