Key March employment data will release this week with the ADP report on Wednesday, unemployment data on Friday. With the strong recent rebound and deteriorating momentum behind treasury and currency markets, it is only a matter of time for the $SPY to break above the $400 level. We continue seeing momentum behind the bulls deteriorating and we expect a short-term correction this week or the next, moving back to the 50-day moving average. Until an additional breakout is maintained, our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $375-$397. The next level of support is set at the 50-day moving average of $380-$385 and we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
