Good Evening,

Today was another day of give and take and yes, we’re still in the zone… The S&P 500 moved up to resistance at 1890 and was repelled, putting us right back into our trading zone between 1840 and 1890. Let’s look at things and try to determine if the market will take another shot at breaking that overhead resistance….

SPY is still struggling below the resistance zone.
It’s been day to day on whether it is best to be in equities or not. The last few days have gone to equities. Several days before tha,t bonds and cash worked better. Lately, it has really depended on what time of day you check the market as to whether you are up or down regardless of where you are invested. The bottom line is that this market acts an awful lot like it is putting in a top. I still favor a deeper correction sometime in May. Either way, I’ll do what the charts tell me, but I will be mentally prepared for a correction. That’s all for tonight. May God continue to bless your trades.
Have a nice evening!

    Good Morning, All I can say about this market right now is that it’s fluid. While corporate earnings are a constant with over 70% of the reports beating estimates, the tariff situation is anything but. The Trump administration continues to discuss and enact Tariffs on foreign trade partners (and I use the term partner loosely).…

    Good Morning, Perhaps I’m getting old and don’t remember things clearly, but I just can’t remember a market with this many twists and turns. Even when it was volatile it wasn’t this volatile. I think of the 90’s and even the early 2000’s for that matter. Sure, we had the dot com bubble that burst…
