Another week of earnings is upon us and with Google, Facebook, and Twitter all set to report this week, Hasbro Inc. and Halliburton already releasing lukewarm reports, I am looking at my seasonal charts for evidence of either a strong market rally or selloff to end April. Also on the docket are earnings from TD Ameritrade, Whirlpool, Caterpillar, Coca-Cola this week. By the looks of my seasonal charts, support levels for the SPDR S&P 500, which I use to gauge the market, don’t break in either April or May which can be promising. However, investors should monitor the support line in my seasonal charts to identify if the market is heading for a big selloff. Like I said, if we see the S&P break the support line of $267, which we are currently teetering on, a selloff could be ahead of us and thus today, and this week’s, activity is paramount to predicting where the market is going. Another line to closely watch will be the 10-year Treasury notes which have hovered near the 3% benchmark all morning long.
After rising to a four-year high this past Friday at 2.956%, yields continued to rise today. This, analysts predict, is a result of traders beginning to factor in a fourth interest rate hike in 2018. Whether inflation expectations or higher prices for materials that have recently caused yields to rise so sharply is anyone’s guess but reaching the 3% benchmark could be another signal of looming selloff. Still, my charts are supporting the notion that the path of least resistance is up.
Elsewhere, geopolitical tensions seem to cool as North Korean President Kim Jong Un said over the weekend that nuclear test sites have suspended testing of long-range missiles. Bitcoin continues to rally after a brutal first quarter while U.S. existing home-sales for March, as reported by the National Association of Realtors, rose 1.1% along with 5.8% rise in the median sale price.
Using the ^GSPC symbol to analyze the S&P 500, our 10-day prediction window shows all positive signals. Today’s vector figure of 0.24% rises to 1.15% within one trading session.
