S&P 500 Nears Best Week Of 2024. What’s Next?🚀

Thanks to Tiger for awarding the weekly top prediction for QQQ again. For the week, the S&P 500 (SP500) advanced +2.3%, the blue-chip Dow (DJI) added +2.0%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) climbed +2.9%. The S&P 500 remained flat for the day but boasted a 2.3% increase for the week, marking its most significant weekly gains since December 2023, holding above 5,200 points. It marked its best weekly performance of 2024, snapping a two-week losing streak in the process. Wall Street's bull run was rekindled after the Federal Reserve's updated dot plot stuck to three interest rate cuts this year. Many market participants were fearing much worse, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell further allayed concerns with a relaxed attitude towards recent hot inflation reports. Bull flag p

What's My Target For S&P500 This Year?

🌟🌟🌟There is optimism in the markets last week with all 3 US indexes notching healthy gains.  One reason for the market optimism stems from the recent FOMC meeting with the interest rates left unchanged.  Jerome Powell, The Feds Chairman is also  reinforcing that interest rate cuts are coming despite the recent hot inflation readings. Last Thursday was the 4th straight winning session for all 3 indexes with the Dow finishing close to 40,000. What's My Target For S&P500 This Year? To answer that question, it is best to look into the past to get a general idea on how the S&P500 Index is tracking.   For the purpose of this exercise I shall use $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$

What's Our Goal for the S&P 500 This Year? The S&P 500 is like a big scoreboard that shows how well 500 of the biggest companies in the U.S. are doing. People watch it closely to guess how the economy will do. But guessing where it will end up by the end of the year? That's a big question. Let's break it down into pieces that are easier to understand. **What's Happening Now** Think of the economy as a giant machine with lots of parts. The S&P 500 shows us how this machine is running. Some of the parts we watch are: - How much things cost (inflation) - If it's easy or hard for people and companies to borrow money (interest rates) - Big world events that can shake things up - How much money companies are making - How fast the whole economy is moving **Interest Rates and Prices**

The Charging of the Bulls In Wall Street

🌟🌟🌟If I can only use 1 sentence to describe the markets today, it would be :  "The Charging Of the Bulls In Wall Street"  There is euphoria in the markets as all 3 major stock indexes rose to new records on Thursday, boosted by investors' growing conviction that the post Covid surge in borrowing costs is coming to an end soon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the way, closing just under 40,000 points.  Industrial and bank stocks led the S&P500 to close at the historic 5200 mark.  The Tech Heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.2%. Another important development is Switzerland became the first country to reduce interest rates on Thursday since Central Banks began their campaign against inflation.  The Swiss National Bank's rate decrease as well as comments from

Is it Small-Caps' Time with Large-Caps Slowing? 50% Upside?

The small and micro-cap Russell 2000 index rebounded sharply yesterday, gaining 2.13%, while the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ rose by 0.86% and 0.51% respectively. Historically, small-cap stocks have exhibited significantly higher volatility compared to the S&P and tech stocks, indicating a higher beta.It's worth noting that shares of $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ closed at roughly 2-year highs.It’s understandable people are skeptical about this type of move, especially given how badly small-cap stocks have underperformed over the last 18 months.

what 21 indicators say about S&P500 for the coming week (25Mar24)?

Market Outlook of S&P500 - 25Mar24 Technical observations of the S&P500 1D chart: The MACD indicator is ranging sideways despite having completed another top crossover. We are expecting a reversal to a downtrend in the coming days. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) advises that the bullish run is fading away though the line remains above zero (typically bullish). Interpretation of CMF from the CFI website: When there is a continuous buying period (when the CMF value is sustained above zero), the trend is considered bullish and indicates that price will continue to rise with the trend. When there is continuous selling pressure (CMF value below zero), this points to a bearish trend, indicating price will continue downward. Higher readings, either positive or negative, indicate a stronger tren

Ignore the noise dollar average is the king$Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF(QQQM)$   The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting outcome has profound implications for financial markets , influencing investor sentiment, economic forecasts, and policy expectations. At its recent meeting, the FOMC opted to maintain its average forecast for the year-end interest rate in 2024 at 4.6%, a decision that carries significant weight in shaping market dynamics. This decision implies stability in monetary policy direction for the near term, but it's the subtle hint of potential rate cuts, with the forecast implying three such cuts, that truly captured market attention. The anticipation of rate cuts acted as a powerful catalyst,

S&P 500 Soars: $5,110 Support Fortified, $5,277 Next Stop?

The 7th attempt was the charm The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ 's breakout today has fueled the rally and appears to be solidifying $5,110 as a key support level for the rest of the year. The consolidation expected is reminiscent of past instances where the index crossed the Bollinger Bands in a significant proportion of the daily candle. Here's the good news: the resistance at $5,190 has flipped and is now acting as support. Adding to the bullish sentiment, the oscillator's crossover provides further confirmation, and the MACD's attempt at a bullish crossover aims to seal the deal. The next target would be $5,277 if $5,190 holds during the week. This level can serve as a reference point for a stop-loss order, making it a more strategic option compared to

The market will remain mostly flat!

The market $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ $DJIA(.DJI)$ 's hitting new highs! Talk about a thrill ride! I'd say it's like a sugar rush for investors - sweet on the outside, but you know there's gonna be a crash later. In fact, I don't particularly think it matters at this point. Lowering rates can be achieved for like 2 years but eventually inflation will exceed 6% again. FOMC can lower them to 3% for example but he'll have to raise them to 6% again in 2 years.Either way, stocks themselves are priced where interest rates are sort of immaterial. Sure stocks are up maybe 600-800 points
