U.S. Markets snapped a two-day losing streak as all three major indices finished in the green with the Nasdaq up over 1.1%, S& and Dow both up 0.93%, and the Russell impressively 2.35% higher. While earnings primarily helped markets, several symbols traded lower following lukewarm data- including Netflix which finished 7% lower, and Haliburton, down 3%. Next week, earnings pick up significantly with tech and retail giants as well as the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting and interest rate decision. Earnings will be headlined by Google, Microsoft, Visa, Apple, Facebook, Tesla, and Amazon. Apart from earnings, vaccine distribution and global infection rates continue to dictate markets. Investors are monitoring the latest from D.C. regarding the proposed infrastructure plan and next week we will hear from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Globally, Asian markets continue to slump while European markets were able to close in the green. Following the latest rebound and slowing momentum behind treasury and currency markets, our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $385-$420 for the next 6 weeks. The $SPY has reached our target of $415-$420 based on the 6-month forecast from our Stock Forecast Toolbox and we encourage readers to raise cash at this point. The SPY broke above the $400 level across all asset classes while the DXY sold off and the TLT continues to trade in the range. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
