Looking at the current market conditions and how to prepare for the next market move, we are keeping an eye on the $VIX which is trading near the 24 level. Two factors that continue to inform market movement and potentially impact the next market move are the Geopolitical risks in Ukraine and CPI/PPI data. All three major U.S. indices closed in the red with pressure from the tech and energy sectors. Treasury yields continue to rise and intensify inflation concerns. This week, several key inflation reports will release including March Core CPI, both monthly and year-over-year, as well as March Federal Budget Deficit and Retail Sales. Headline news from last week of Musk buying a major stake in Twitter appeared to continue to impact shares today as the Tesla CEO denied his seat on the board, seeing Twitter shares rise over 1.6%. Gold and the dollar rose today while oil futures and bitcoin retreaded; the 10-year yield rose to a 3 year high at 2.77% while the Nasdaq saw the biggest drop of the major indices with 2.18% loss. The S&P finished 1.69% down and the Dow finished 1.19% down for the day.
Based on our technical studies, we are keeping an eye on the SPY’s overhead resistance levels of $451 and then $465. The $SPY support is at $438 and then $420. We expect the market to continue to trade higher in the next two to six weeks. In the short term, the market is oversold and will start the bottoming process in the next few sessions. Globally, Asian markets traded lower while European markets were mixed. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions.
