ST RESISTANCE then RALLY RESUMES

Happy MLK DAY!
ST RESISTANCE at current and nearby levels.
But, my FF is a rally, with pullbacks, with SPX 4400 target in 2023.
Quite possible SPX can top off in the SPX 4600 in 2023.

CAVEAT: EXTREMELY SERIOUS GEOPOLITICAL EVENTS will stop any rally.

December Retail Sales data and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book will be featured in the US economic docket as markets remain convinced of a 25 basis points Fed rate hike in February.

The Economy Is Hitting Its Trough. The Markets Rebound May Have Already Begun.
Last year was worse for stocks than for the economy, though worries about the economic outlook were one of the biggest sources of gloom in the market

The reckoning may be coming now. After the most aggressive Federal Reserve tightening campaign in a decade amid soaring inflation, most economists now see a U.S. recession starting in the first quarter, according to the latest Wall Street Journal survey.

Investment banks posting earnings statements concur. JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup dont see a soft landing as their most likely outcome this year. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley report Tuesday, and the Fed releases its beige book summarizing regional outlooks on Wednesday. Retail sales, also published Wednesday, are expected to have dropped last month.

From a global perspective, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva says world growth will definitely slow this year, with its forecast for expansion about half a percentage point lower than for 2022.

But the good news from the IMFs Georgieva is that she doesnt expect to have to downgrade her forecast any more, and sees a recovery in 2024. JPMorgans Jamie Dimon, who once foresaw an economic hurricane, now says that any recession will be mild. China is expected to start recovering soon after posting some of the worst growth on record in 2022.

Thats good news for companies such as Netflix, which also reports this week. And its great news for investors. The market usually bottoms out before the economy. The start of a recession often coincides with the start of a market rebound.

The S&P 500 is up 4% since Jan. 1. The rebound in markets may have already begun.

CITI is too gloomy

 

Down by less than 2%

Morgan Stanley down by less than 1/2 % 

Similar to banks last week that missed, dropped, then finished green

 

Lower earnings already priced into the market except HUGE MISSES

 

But markets already up in Jan so far so more likely it will drop/consolidate 

 

Pretty huge miss on GS....but it is the stock reaction today that matters....
