Cautious Outlook: Base-Building Rally Shows Promise

Cautious Outlook: Base-Building Rally Shows Promise
  • SPY and QQQ both closed near unchanged on April 2 despite strong intraday range, suggesting consolidation after a 2-day bounce.
  • Both ETFs remain below key EMAs (20 and 50), signaling ongoing bearish structure despite near-term momentum.
  • VIX declined for a third consecutive day (25.25 → 23.87), reflecting easing volatility—consistent with the “de-escalation rally” noted in journal entries.
  • Resistance zones cited: ~658–660 for SPY, ~585–587 for QQQ. A break and hold above those could confirm trend reversal.
  • Market internals (breadth, AAII bear/bull spread) point to bottoming sentiment, though price action remains choppy and prone to whipsaws.
