Markets Near Record High, Tech Sector Trades Higher

June 7, 2021
By Vlad Karpel

After passing its all-time high, the Dow closed with modest losses today while the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 were able to book small gains. Last week, May’s monthly employment report was released and showed a pickup in jobs from the previous month. Once again, AMC and Gamestop shares saw substantial gains, driven by online discourse. Several key reports are due to release this week which will provide a better reading of inflation, one of the key drivers of the market this quarter. Reports include trade deficit, job openings, consumer price index, core CPI, and Federal budget. SFIX, MRVL, and COUP are key earnings announcements this week that can potentially influence the market direction. Fear of inflation and ECB decision are the main events to drive the market in the next few weeks. Globally, both Asian and European markets traded to mixed results today. Fear of inflation and the economy reopening are the main events to drive the market in the next few weeks. The top is set at $420 and we encourage users to consider selling into market rebounds. The $SPY broke below key mid-term support at $410. QQQ has been trading below the 50-day moving average for a few sessions and the market is getting close to an oversold level. The next key support level is near $400, 60-days moving average. Our models are projecting the $SPY to trade in the range of $397-$410 for the next 6 weeks, following the latest rebound and slowing momentum behind treasury and currency markets. The $SPY has reached our target of $415-$425 based on the 6-month forecast from our Stock Forecast Toolbox and we encourage readers to raise cash at this point. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
