Equities – The recent 4/5/21 gap-up breakout suggests the next SPX rally to 4,136-4,177.5, coinciding with the 161.8% Fibonacci Projection and the recent 2-mo breakout target. Although higher prices to 4,595 are possible during the second half of the year, a near-term overbought condition is likely to develop. Initial support rises to 4,158 (top of the Nov 2020 uptrend channel), and below this to 4,020-4,034 (extension of the recent 2-mo breakout and 4/5/21 gap-up), 3,905-3,950.5 (bottom of the Nov 2020 uptrend channel and 50-day ma), 3,853.5 (3/25/21 low), and 3,695-3,723 (Jan and Mar 2021 lows).
Fixed Income – The 30-year Treasury yields (TYX) have recently achieved their 2019 highs (2.46%), while TNX has yet to trade to its 2019 highs at 1.934-1.943%. What does this divergence mean? TYX and TNX have both achieved their Aug 2020 uptrend channel breakout targets at 2.44-2.55% (TYX) and 1.66-1.68%, respectively. Overbought conditions have prompted the recent consolidations. Violations of the top of their recent channel breakouts (2.34% and 1.608%) warn of tests of their 50-day ma at 2.25% and 1.51%, respectively.
Commodities – CRB Index is testing 197 or the 2008 downtrend and 204-207 (2008 highs and the 38.2% retracement from 2011-2020 decline). A breakout would reverse a structural downtrend. The key initial support is 187-189 (50-day ma) and 183-184. WTI Crude’s rally achieved its key resistance at 65.65-66.60, prompting the recent consolidation to initial support at 56.5-57.5 (Mar/Apr 2021 lows and 2018 downtrend). Gold is rebounding from key support at 1,751.5-1,761 (Mar 2021 highs and 50-day ma) to key resistance at 1,858-1,885 (200-day ma).
Currencies – US Dollar (USD) achieved its target of 92.5-93.5. An overbought condition has led to consolidation toward key initial support at 91.5 (50-day ma and the 3/4/21 breakout). EURUSD has rebounded from key support at 1.17-1.1769. An oversold rally is now testing key initial resistance at 1.197-1.2012 (left/right shoulders and the 50-day ma). JPYUSD has rebounded from key support at 0.90-0.9103 (6/5/20 low and 2019 trendline), prompting an oversold rally toward key initial resistance at 0.9225-0.9230, and above this to 0.928/0.946.
