After the brutal decline we witnessed for the last few days, it looks like the SP500 has found a floor. The markets never move in a straight line. The VIX reached a level above 29, which signals high volatility and lower prices. The small pauses it took were just small bounces used by the market to keep selling.
Yesterday we say a change in the trend of the VIX. In the Madrid Symbol Display indicator we see there was a meaningful change in the trend of the fear Index, It broke its trend at 27 to settle at 24. We're far from being out of the woods, specially considering that Trump is not backing off from his tariffs, and he disregarded the stock market as his performance gauge like he used to do during his first term, as well as the unemployment levels. His arguments are "it's going to cause a little disturbance", and "they're globalist companies that ripped off the US". Well those were not arguments he used during Trump v.1.
Tesla plummeted, and we saw it coming when the insiders dumped stock. Elon hasn't dumped his stock, and he's the major shareholder of Tesla share, but we have seen the decline, and since this is one of the major index contributors, it has dragged down the market. We have seen declines also in crypto, chip manufacturers, etc. So it's not only Tesla, the debate of whether the boycott and/or the market environment have contributed to its decline is another story that has to be addressed separately.
Bottom line, the market seems to get get ready for a "Dead Cat Bounce", and probably taking the index to the "Back to Normal" sentiment. Be aware that the momentum indicators are pointing down, and so far, this is not going to be a declared uptrend. The geopolitical environment and the tariffs are not gone, so the initial triggers are still active, and there's no reason to think this is going to change in the short term.
We can say that a relief rally is in the making, and as long as the VIX is kept in check under the 24ish level we can take it as a truce to rebalance portfolios and hedge positions.
SPX Target 5800.
