S&P 500: 5-10% pullback before market rally continues toward the 3386 all-time high – Charles Schwab

FXStreet Team FXStreet

Randy Frederick from Charles Schwab expects a 5%-10% pullback as the S&P 500 chart shows similarities with the 2009 trend before the market rally continues towards the 3,386 all-time high.

Key quotes

“I would watch the 3,137 level as the first downside support. Below that I would focus on the 200-day SMA (now at 3,007). On the upside, the all-time high of 3,386 now looks like it could be reached within the next few weeks.”

“I would not be surprised if the S&P 500 experiences a 5% to 10% pullback before this is all over. And as the current trend remains remarkably similar to 2009, we could be due for it at any time. The S&P 500 fell 7% from 6/12/09 - 7/10/09, before the recovery continued.”

“From a growth standpoint, Q1 EPS was -7.7% y/o/y; Q1 revenue was +0.9% y/o/y. This compares to +0.6% and +3.4% respectively in Q4.”

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
