The S and P 500 and the Nifty made new highs last week. Signals are 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. Commodities are breaking down yet again. Market internals are flashing major warning signs of a large decline ahead. The critical levels to watch are 2470 (up) and 2450 (down) on the S & P and 9950 (up) and 9800 (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.
