Equities – The 5/20-6/2/22 SPX oversold rally failed near pivotal resistance at 4,195.5-4,223 (38.2% retracement from Jan-May 2022 decline, 50% retracement from Mar-May 2022 decline, and 50-day ma). A breakout would have extended the rally to intermediate-term resistance at 4,433.5-4,483 (61.8% retracement, 200-day ma, and Jan 2022 downtrend). The 6/10/22 gap-down (3,974-4,017) warns of a retest of 3,859/3,810 (5/12 and 5/20/22 lows) and 3,723-3,770 (3/4/21 low and the Jan 2022 downtrend channel). A breakdown signals the next SPX selloff.
Fixed Income – The 10-year minus 3-mo yield spread has diverged from the popular 10-year minus 2-year yield spread. A rally to 2.27 (4/6/22) led to consolidation to 1.66, retesting the 200-day ma (1.61). The 10-year minus 2-year spread inverted during Apr 2022 (-0.06). The inversion warns of a US recession as early as Dec 2022-Feb 2023. TNX nears structural resistance at 3.04-3.25% (top of the 1980 downtrend and the 2013/2018 highs). Failure to breakout coupled with an oversold condition suggests a multi-year consolidation.
Commodities – CRB enters a commodities super cycle like 1971-1980. Resistance is 313/321.5-326 (2012/2014 highs) and 332-338 (61.8% retracement from 2008-2021 decline). Initial support is 316, 307-310, 293-297, 280.5, 269.5, and 265-266/261.5. WTI Crude nears key resistance at 130.50 (3/7/22 high) and above this 147/140 (2008 record highs), and 154-155 (top of 2020 uptrend channel). Initial support is 111-115.5, 103-107, 98-100, and 93-95. Gold’s key support and resistance is 1,780-1,806.5 and 2,079-2,089.
Currencies – US Dollar breakout above 103.82-103.96 suggests next USD rallies to 105.07 (May 2022 high), 108.5, and 118.5-121. Support rises to 101.5-102, 97-98, and 92.5. EURUSD nears pivotal neckline support at 1.0339-1.0456. Violation warns of a top. Initial resistance is 1.0758-1.0807, 1.0934-1.0936, 1.112-1.121, and 1.1483-1.1495. JPYUSD broke neckline at 0.7946-0.8054, suggesting a decline toward 0.740 (2002 reaction low). Initial resistance is 0.67613-0.7995 and 0.838-0.8595, and 0.8812-0.8886.
