With less than a week until the U.S. election, the market broke through the $340-342 support level and remains prone for further corrections, the next level of support is set at $330. Today, U.S. stocks continued to slide as all three major U.S. indices finished in the red. The Nasdaq saw over 3.7% losses while the Dow and S&P hovered near 3.5% losses. Continuing the streak of down sessions, stocks are turning lower as COVID cases continue to increase while vaccine and stimulus progress seems to have stalled. The second wave of cases in Europe is also causing further shutdowns, with the latest coming from Germany and France. Globally, European markets finished significantly lower while Asian markets were mixed. Tech execs met with a Senate committee to discuss social media-related liabilities today as most major tech stocks saw significant drops. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft all closed 5% lower. Look out for key tech earnings tomorrow with Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Shopify set to report. Our latest models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $318-$360 and we will look to be buyers into any short-term corrections. Short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY is near $330. We continue monitoring VIX levels as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near the $25 level. As always, we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
