GENERAL MARKET REVIEW The stock market kicked off the day on a high note, with stocks initially experiencing gaps upwards and a brief period of appreciation. Nonetheless, these early gains were short-lived, as the market faced significant downturns for the remainder of the session.
In today's trading, both the S&P-500 and Nasdaq indices have fallen through their 50-day moving average markers amid substantial trading volumes, signaling a bearish outlook. This further reinforces the notion that holding cash remains the superior strategy.
We'll begin our chart analysis with a look at the Nasdaq-100 ( NASDAQ:QQQ ) and S&P-500 ( SP:SPX )
SPX-500 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– META Sliced today and looks like it is heading to the 50D SMA. Could see a bounce but it is very much market dependent
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– NVDA Carving out a nice base with earnings coming on 22APR (Wednesday). The next buy point is above the $974 level on high volume, however I will look to play a pivot breakout before hand near the danger point, so that I would look to hold into earnings (IF I GET CUSHION)
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SMTC Down just fractionally today. It is setting a Bull Flag Pattern. If it breaks the lower side of the channel I d cut it loose.
