**Neutral	Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral

The S and P 500 was down and the Nifty was up last week. Signals are mildly bullish for the upcoming week. Past and future FED rate hikes are yet to be priced in and sentiment indicators are back in complacency mode. Market internals, the transports and commodities are flashing major warning signs of a large decline ahead. The critical levels to watch are 2390 (up) and 2370 (down) on the S & P and 9500 (up) and 9350 (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.
