The Markets
Stocks continued their selloff on Friday as fears of financial contagion ballooned amidst the fallout from the collapse of SVB Financial. The S&P 500 Index closed down by 1.45%, moving definitively below support presented by major moving averages in the range between 3900 and 4000 and retaking levels below previous declining trendline resistance that currently sits at 3880. In a striking shift from the observation that we made just one week ago, this market is no longer being supported as we head towards what is traditionally a strong time of year for stocks through March and April. Momentum indicators are re-adopting characteristics of a bearish trend below their middle lines and short-term levels of resistance, such as around 4100, have become defined. As we have been explaining in our outlooks to subscribers over the past week, even before this headline shock attributed to the SVB Financial collapse, the risks that the financial sector is portraying for the broader market are significant and caution is warranted given the leading nature of banks for broader equity market performance. The large-cap benchmark finds itself back below its 200-day moving average, which, as explained in our last outlook, nothing good happens while prices are below. The concerning technical and fundamental backdrop must be weighed against what is typically a strong timeframe for stocks through the month of April, but when we have something tangible in hand to suggest something abnormal is occurring, whether it be a pandemic closure of the economy or an elevation of systematic risks in the banking sector, we have to abandon traditional seasonal biases.
Sentiment on Friday, as gauged by the put-call ratio, ended bearish at 1.25.Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
