U.S. Markets Pull Away From Bear Territory

May 23, 2022
By Vlad Karpel

After closing lower on Friday to extend weekly losing streaks, the broad market finished higher on Monday as investors sought safety amid a volatile week. After a disappointing week, the Dow Jones finished up 1.98 percent, recovering nicely after having its eighth consecutive losing week last Friday. This week Nvidia, Alibaba, and several retailers are set to release quarterly earnings while Wednesday the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes are set to release. The global focus this week returns to China-U.S. relations as President Biden announced the possibility of reducing tariffs, and also the latest World Economic Forum is set to resume in Switzerland after a two-year hiatus.

$VIX is trading near the 30 level. $COST and $ADSK earnings this week can influence the next move in the market. We are watching the overhead resistance levels in the SPY, which are presently at $396 and then $410. The $SPY support is at $390 and then $380.  We expect the market to continue the bottoming process for the next 1-2 weeks. In the short term, the market is oversold. Globally, Asian markets traded to mixed results while European markets closed in the green. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
