Market summary for the week is in, and what a week it was! Besides all the bullishness everywhere after the Fed’s expected pause, I was surprised to see the Agricultural Commodities up over 4%, almost double what the S&P did. We continue to see low volatility, and Bitcoin seems to be picking up on the news of iShares filing for a Bitcoin ETF. SPY, touching 440 on Friday, the market is on rocket fuel. Driven by Technology, we are seeing massive gains in this area. Looking for signs of exhaustion, but not seeing them quite yet other than being oversold and a downwards pointing RSI on the daily. Next stop is the April 21,2022 450 unless we give it back next week.
