Markets traded impressively higher to start the week with all three major U.S. indices booking solid gains as the SPY briefly broke through its overhead resistance at $340. Reported progress regarding COVID-treatments are supporting markets today as earnings season has all but wrapped up; companies due to report this week include Salesforce.com, Intuit, Dollar General, Hormel Foods, Dell Technologies, and Workday. Also taking place this week is the Federal Bank’s annual symposium with Fed Chair Jerome Powell is set to speak on Thursday. Globally, both European and Asian markets traded significantly higher and we are still seeing a strong rotation into the value stocks and away from growth stocks. Keeping this mind, our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $320-$360. Short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY nears $320 and we will look to be buyers into any short-term corrections. We will continue monitoring the VIX as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near $20 level, and we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
