The S and P 500 was up and the Nifty was down last week. Indicators are bullish for the upcoming week. This rally is close to a major secondary top in key asset classes which has already formed in the Euro and commodities. This is going to be followed by a massive selloff most likely a deflationary collapse. Quantitative tightening by the FED is yet to be priced in fully. The markets are still trading well over 3 standard deviations above their long term averages from which corrections usually result. Tail risk is also very high. The critical levels to watch for the week are 2915 (up) and 2895 (down) on the S & P 500 and 11600 (up) and 11400 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. Love your thoughts and feedback.
