Markets traded to mixed results today as the S&P and Dow closed in the red while Nasdaq, powered by a strong Microsoft performance, closed in the green. Yesterday, the Dow Jones closed above 30,000 for the first time as additional positive vaccine news supported markets. Several key economic reports were released today to mixed results, such as weekly unemployment, personal income, and home sales; this month’s FOMC minutes were also released today and echoed Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s sentiment while talking with the press following the early November meeting. Noted in the minutes were discussions of additional guidance which could include further bond-purchasing and qualitative outcome-based guidance for asset purchases. Slack saw its shares rise after a possible acquisition by Salesforce was announced. Salesforce will be one of the key earnings released next week as Q3 earnings seasons winds down. Globally, Asian and European markets traded to mixed results. Markets will be closed on Thursday in observance of the Thanksgiving Day holiday, while a shortened trading day is scheduled for Friday. Our latest models are projecting the SPY to trade between the $340-$360 levels- until an additional breakout is confirmed. Similarly, we are seeing strong rotation from growth to value stocks and believe the SPY is on its way to retest its recent highs. With the market prone to further corrections, the next level of support is set at $350. We will continue monitoring VIX levels, as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near the $25 level. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
