**Neutral
Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral




The US market was unchanged and the Nifty was up last week. Signals are bearish for the upcoming week. The markets are getting oversold but are in crash mode, with most emerging markets, and commodities already breaking down on a strong dollar and a hawkish FED.  Transports and the high yield market are signaling trouble ahead.  The Vix is implying a crash. The critical levels to watch are 2030 (up) and 2000 (down) on the S & P and 7800 (up) and 7700 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the markets very shortly. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. You can also check out snapshots of the S and P 500 and Nifty Indices. Love your thoughts and feedback.
