Headline News:
U.S. equities markets are set to open higher after President Trump expressed hope that the coronavirus crisis is “leveling-off.” New York reported on Sunday that for the first time in a week, virus-related deaths had fallen from the day before. Also, the number of deaths in France and Italy slowed over the weekend. Investors appear to be encouraged by the news and are set to be potential buyers when the market opens to start the week.
Markets:
The S&P 500 moved below support at 2500.07 and closed at 2488.65 on Friday. The selling was on below-average volume, and the RSI index did not change its closing level of 42.92. The last three trading days have traded help create another base that is constructive for equity markets. If we see more base building or even a move above the base, the index could possibly move higher this week. Potential resistance could come in at 2637.01, while possible support will remain at 2380.94.
We are currently long-term bullish and short-term bearish.
