U.S. Markets Rebound Behind Impressive Tech Rally, Fed Budget Due Friday
SPY has a high probability of retesting $360
The new top for the SPY is set at $360 and we believe it will be retested by the end of September or early October. With the current SPY 50-day moving average at $330, our models are showing the SPY has a high probability of retesting these levels.
All three major U.S. indices snapped a three-day losing streak
Behind a strong tech rally, all three major U.S. indices snapped a three-day losing streak by closing in the green. Lululemon, Slack Tech, Oracle, and Chewy are due to release earnings this week will key economic reports include July Job Openings, Consumer and Producer Price Indices for August, Core CPI, and the Federal Budget for August.
Globally, both Asian and European markets closed in the red. With the SPY breaking through its overhead resistance at $340, short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY is near $320. Our models are still projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $320-$360 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.
