S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 10/20/22

Good morning traders! 

The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading near yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…

Yesterday leaves traders questioning whether the bear market can climb higher after yesterday’s turmoil. The market will bottom out eventually, but until the Fed adjusts its policy or profits are fairly valued; it’s hard to give a fair guess if we have hit a bottom yet. This is not to say bounces can’t happen in the near term, but the overall trend is still quite bearish. Numerous Wall Street analysts have underlined that values still do not adequately reflect the reduced earnings that coincide with the current slowdown in economic development and have cited future earnings predictions are still too high as evidence. We advise everyone to size down, and trade with caution as the market could go either direction very quickly; especially as political, geo-political, and inflation uncertainty is on the rise.
