Headline News:

U.S. stock futures were flat to start the day after two straight days of heavy selling. Q1 earnings have been robust, with 90% of S&P 500 companies reporting better than expected earnings. However, it appears the good earnings were already priced into equity prices, and markets appear to be in a sell the news mode. Also, the rising COVID-19 cases abroad could lead to renewed travel restrictions that could slow down the economic recovery.

Markets:         

The S&P 500 moved below one support level at 4151.69, traded down to the next support zone at 4120.87, and rallied off that level to close at 4134.94. RSI continued to move lower, closing at 63.91, but there could possibly be more selling to come after moving out of the overbought zone. The next level of potential support could come in at 4095.51, and we feel that level will be tested soon. So far, the selling appears to be typical profit-taking after a recent massive rally of the March lows.

We are currently long-term bullish and short-term cautious.
