The Markets

Stocks destabilized again on Friday as the rise in the price of Oil continues to weigh heavy in investor psyches.  The S&P 500 Index closed down by 1.67%, moving below the lower limit of the declining trend channel that has been playing out over the past month.  The decline is becoming parabolic, highlighting the indiscriminate de-risking that traders are enacting given the uncertainty that surrounds the conflict in Iran.  The benchmark is below all major daily moving averages, unable to derive any type of support, and is relying heavily on headlines that remain unpredictable.   The benchmark is back into oversold territory with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 30, typically a state that coincides with selling exhaustion, albeit within bear market trends.  The benchmark is rapidly gravitating towards previous horizontal resistance from early in 2025 at 6100, a hurdle that is now around 250 points away (as of Friday’s lows).  As highlighted on Thursday, while the short-term technicals present renewed concern and the longer-term technical profile of the market has become threatening, we still have a focus on the near-term positivity in equity markets heading into the seasonally strong period during the month of April.  In the Seasonal Advantage Portfolio that we manage for clients at CastleMoore, we rotated away from our low volatility posture and added to risk exposure a week ago for the seasonally strong window that runs through the next three to five weeks.  The conflict in Iran remains a wildcard and we are running down our cues that would warrant a more defensive posture in risk assets, but the net of all developments following Thursday’s and Friday’s action between technicals, fundamentals, and seasonals for the near-term continue to provide the edge to an upside bias.  Various investment houses are attesting to the same suggesting a near-term skew based on the risk of the next social media post from the president unleashing a short-covering wave that would be inappropriate to get negative in front of.  Subscribers can view the themes in our chart books to either Accumulate or Avoid that we continue to gear portfolios towards.
