Please note, we are referencing the June futures and do not roll until Tuesday of each quarterly expiration week.
E-mini S&P (June) / E-mini NQ (June)
S&P, last week’s close: Settled at 5437.50, down 1.00 on Friday and up 81.75 on the week
NQ, last week’s close: Settled at 19,685.50, up 83.00 on Friday and 647.75 on the week
The E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ finished at new weekly records on Friday and closed higher for the sixth and seventh week out of the last eight, respectively. We have certainly not been ones to shy away from calling this a stock pickers market, finding many names outside the lauded “Mag 7” to hang our hats on, however, we find the latest breadth deterioration concerning. With economic data, earnings, and the June Fed meeting in the rear-view mirror, this will be a critical week. Will the Industrial sector continue to roll over, will the Consumer Discretionary sector build out a head and shoulders top. Look at the E-mini Dow, it is still 3.5% from its March record high and the E-mini Russell finished Friday at the lowest level since May 1st. The sectors absolutely matter, but the top six names (MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, GOOG, AMZN, META) now account for 30% of the S&P, and right here we are talking about index futures. Price action has built out nice support in the E-mini S&P at and around 5400, detailed below. If we see continued construction out above this area and, furthermore, strength in the E-mini NQ out above 19,685-19,691, then there is no reason to think the party is over, and our Bias will remain more Bullish.
