Free Weekly Stock Market Commentary 4/19/2024

By Lawrence G. McMillan

For quite some time the $SPX chart has been able to rely on support at 5050. The market traded in an area between 5050 and 5180 for nearly a month from mid-February through mid-March. But now that 5050 level has been breached, and selling has intensified. The fact that $SPX was trying to hold that 5050 level for several days means that it has now become resistance. There are other resistance levels at 5150 and 5260, the all-time highs.

Things were rolling along pretty smoothly, with $SPX having made new all-time closing and intraday highs on March 28th. There was a little pullback at the beginning of this week, with a modest deterioration in some of the market internals, but it did not appear to be significant. In fact, by noon on Thursday April 4th, $SPX was well on its way to challenging those highs once again. Then, a Fed Governor (Neel Kashkari) made some hawkish statements and selling swamped the market.

The $SPX Index registered another new all-time closing high yesterday (March 27th) and another new all-time intraday high on March 21st. So, the bull market is still in place. $SPX has a strong support area at 5050-5180, an area where the Index traded in late February and early March. A close below 5050 would be viewed as quite negative by many traders, and we would expect that sell signals would emerge from our indicators if that happened.
