Waiting for the push


The SPY is at 5560, the target I called back on Monday April 7th, when the market gapped down and found a local bottom.   So does this mean today is the exact top? Potentially.  But what makes me think not is there has not yet been a 'big news' event to push and extend beyond an organic top.

We may have the FED do an emergency rate cut, or some sort of Trump announcement.  When that occurs THAT is a "sell on good news" event.  I will be reloading my shorts then.

The market can float around here through May, but ideal turn is in the next 1-2 weeks.  SPY should NOT break 600 on a weekly close.  If it does, I do have to question the POV I currently have. I think the more realistic high will be SPY 575-585 range. (SPY is S&P  500 ETF)

Enjoy the market counter rally, I am looking for opportunities for the next leg down into July-August.

This is all SHORT TERM conversation, on LONG TERM front, US market is going lower. For Long Term, looking for SPY 370-450 bottom.  as we get closer, happy to tighten the range.

If we move to 370, it will bring us back to Jan 2020 levels.  Currently I consider that THE lowest target, however, USA is changing the rules, and the target can change.

    1. great question! Really will need to be a reason to re-evaluate what is going on! US is flipping 3 trillion of debt later this year and the world doesn't want (they will at some degree) buy our bonds. If rates go up, that pinches borrowing costs. With China shipping down dramatically, US companies have less goods to sell. With buying goods overseas up, and prices too high for consumers, it will crunch corporate profits. Every downturn is tied to corporate weakness. SPY is rallying and corporations are showing great forecast next quarter with all of this, obviously, I am missing something and need to re-evaluate.
