Current Outlook

  • 50D SMA at 5967.43 (Above the 200 Day) Trending towards a Death Cross


Price Action

  • Bullish Engulfing Candle on the March 14 bounce.
  • Price successfully crossed the 5600 Psychological Level
  • We bounced at ~5500
  • Experiencing resistance in the 5640-5620 Range (expected)


Sentiment
  • Canada showed promise as heading towards a (take your best guess at the details) resolution to the tariff fight with the united states.
  • Tariffs remain a major drag on the stock market pricing.

I viewed the Firday bounce as a sort of 'relief rally'. My belief is that we could go higher on the back of it. The market has majorly 'oversold' by the numbers - and the probability of a bounce became increasingly likely. Upside resistance to remain mercurial on the rapidly changing sentiment narrative.

A possible outcome: retest the underside of the 200DMA.

I do not expect a notable price recovery towards ATH's until the tariff effects are known, which means: I expect higher than normal volatility for several months

Earnings projections (in the coming earnings season) will shed the required light on reality.

I have been adding long term holds - such as:
  • GDX
  • DAX
  • META
  • GOOG
  • AMZN
  • BABA
  • UNH
  • C
  • CRWD
  • IBIT
  • NVO
  • CMG
  • INDA
  • AVGO


I remain ~90% cash at ~3.7% yield.

Resistance possibly at:
  • 5672 August 2024 Resistance, September 2024 Support
  • 5724 July 2024 Resistance and later Support
  • 5775 (200 Day SMA)
