Looking ahead to next week in the S&P (July 25th, 2022)With things like housing statistics, employment data, and earnings from heavyweights such as GOOG, MSFT, and 3M, next week looks to be filled with potential market moving events. Most notably however is FED Chair Jerome Powell's press conference on Wednesday afternoon. While its no secret that we're headed into a world of higher interest rates, FED speak always has a tendency to move markets one way or another - but before we look ahead, here is a quick snapshot of last weeks action:
S&P500: +2.3%
Nasdaq: +3.3%
Russell: +3.3%
-------------------
Technology (XLK): +6.5%
Energy (XLE): +4.5%
Financials (XLF): +2.3%
Heading into next week, SPY is looking at an expected move of +/- 9.8 on 24%IV ... (QQQ +/- 10.3, 32%IV; IWM +/- 5.6, 30%IV).
SPY appears to be gaining steam on the shorter time frames (4HR, etc.), and I think the sectors driving the rally have more room to run, so my primary idea is for the rally to continue over the intermediate term. There may be some turbulence along the way, so perhaps a retest of the top of the previous range around 390 before ultimately heading toward 415. However, don't ignore the bonds. They have seen a solid rally off their lows in June. If momentum can continue, bond prices could accelerate up to 149"00, which would almost certainly lead to weakness in equities.

Potential Bearish Divergence forming in $DXYWith interest rates climbing steeply, the dollar has been strengthening against the $DXY currencies and has made a forceful move to the upside. As of the present date (4/12/22), there's a considerable Bearish Divergence forming. Its certainly possible that if Dollar could gain momentum over time - but it could also set up some nice trading opportunities if it doesn't.
As is often the case, the Dollar has been exhibiting a negative correlation to the S&P for most of this year. Therefore, S&P products could be a good place to take long trades on this idea in the near term. Other ideas could include being long bonds - either with futures or a product like the TLT, and or long the Euro - either with currency futures or the EURUSD FOREX pair.
This is something I'll be watching closely over the days and weeks ahead.
$TLT, Bonds long ideaAfter the whole round trip that started when covid hit, I think we are getting closer to a big, long position in bonds. The price range on the chart is where I will start buying and expecting to see seller exhaustion and trouble pushing it down further. Sentiment is really weak and you have people late to party trying to short right now to pick pennies in front of a steamroller. As an ideal target for $TLT we are talking $150 at least, so, due to the magnitude of the move, we are talking about a long term position or around 6 months out. Obviously seeing the volatility in this period and the little liquidity in markets I could be wrong, meaning the move much quicker. GL
