Weekly Market Brief
Last Week in Review:
Markets experienced a risk-on sentiment last week, driven by easing geopolitical tensions and positive economic data. The S&P 500 gained 3.6%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 4.7%. A temporary U.S.–Iran ceasefire and cooling energy prices contributed to the rally, while a better-than-expected jobs report further bolstered investor confidence. Technology and communication services sectors led the gains, while energy lagged despite elevated oil prices.
Week Ahead — What to Watch:
This week, investors should focus on a series of major earnings reports and economic data releases. On Monday, Goldman Sachs is set to report Q1 results, with analysts expecting earnings of $16.35 per share on $16.89 billion in revenue. Tuesday brings reports from JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, with JPMorgan estimated to earn $5.44 per share. Wednesday features updates from Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and ASML, while Thursday highlights include PepsiCo and Netflix, with Netflix projected to deliver $0.76 EPS on $12.17 billion in revenue. Friday wraps up with reports from Ally Financial, Truist, and State Street. Additionally, key economic data such as U.S. industrial production and producer price index (PPI) figures will be released, providing insights into growth and inflation trends. Given the confluence of earnings reports and economic indicators, traders should prepare for potential volatility and be vigilant for any signs of sector rotation or shifts in market sentiment.
SPY Market Brief
SPY demonstrated a strong bullish trend during the week of April 6–10, 2026, opening at $655.86 and closing at $679.46, marking a significant gain. The ETF consistently traded above both the 50-day SMA ($674.29) and the 200-day SMA ($664.36), reinforcing the upward momentum. The daily RSI (14) at 59.96 indicates that SPY is approaching overbought territory but remains within a healthy range. Swing traders should monitor the $680 level as immediate resistance, with support established around the 50-day SMA.
Over the past eight weeks, SPY has exhibited a recovery from previous declines, with the 10-week SMA at $670.04 and the 40-week SMA at $665.78, both below the current price, suggesting a sustained bullish trend. The weekly RSI (14) at 54.66 reflects moderate strength without overextension. Geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, have introduced volatility, yet the market has shown resilience. The weekly candle structure indicates potential for continued gains, provided external factors remain stable.
Bullish Perspective
The consistent trading above key moving averages and the positive RSI readings support a bullish outlook. A decisive close above the $680 resistance could pave the way for testing higher levels. Continued economic strength and easing geopolitical tensions would further bolster this scenario. Traders should look for sustained volume and positive market breadth to confirm bullish momentum.
Bearish Perspective
Should SPY fail to maintain its position above the 50-day SMA, it may signal weakening momentum. A breakdown below the 200-day SMA at $664.36 would be particularly concerning, potentially leading to a retest of lower support levels. Escalating geopolitical conflicts or unfavorable economic data could catalyze such a decline. Traders should watch for decreasing volume and negative divergences in technical indicators as signs of a bearish shift.

UnitedHealth Group Inc.
Solid move last week and now over $300. Keep it simple. If UNH is holding $300, can anticipate to see a move back into $310 – 325. If the volume comes in strong a deeper target would be 330 – 340 range within the coming weeks. More optimistic targets towards $350 – 380 with time. However, if $300 does not hold, would be cautious being long and look out for downside into 290 – 280 – 275 – 260.

Dumped last week, trading at demand now. Buyers did not show up at all last week, and there’s no real sign of a reversal. However, we will have to see if buyers show up here in the demand zone. If they don't downside can continue into SNOW all time lows $107.93. Under the all time lows and SNOW could be destined to hit $100 and lower. If last weeks low is holding, there could be bounces into $125 – 130 – 140 – 145. A move back into the $150/160 range is possible if the sector recovers. Watch out for rejections if there are bounces into these levels.

Bullish engulfing on the weekly may signal sign of reversal coming in the near term. Look for support at $125 range. Target near term upside into $129.5. A move over $130 can lead to conviction for buyers to target $140 – 150 – 160 in the coming weeks. Look for support $120 range. A close under $120, would look bearish. In this case would then be cautious of BABA falling back into the $115 – 100 supply.

Last weeks selling may provide dip buy opportunity to ride the uptrend. COST has been steady, holding the 13ema and is close to breaking out into continuation targets $1050 – 1078. A breakout over the latter could bring a very strong all time high breakout into $1100- 1200 this year. Look for short term support $980 – 960 which is 13ema / uptend zone.

Solid past two weeks. If the larger weekly trend holds, BA could be set to range back into early 2026 highs near $250. What we will look for is BA to work on holding $217.5 – 220 range. If this spot can build, look for continuation into $225 – 230 – 236. Moves into 242 – $250 /260 are optimistic long side targets within the coming weeks – months. If BA rejects the 13 ema, watch for moves back into $205 – 200. Under $200 and would be concerned for short term long sided positions.

“Has been rejecting the 13ema trend line for the past 5 weeks. If this continues, there’s potential for GM to make newer lows under the bear flag into the previous supply / breakout zone. Look for resistance $75 – 77.5 – 78.5. With a move under 71.67 look for downside into 66.75. Under that, target $65 – 60.5 – 58.5 – 55. If GM closes above the 13ema on weekly chart, this idea may be invalid as GM can retest the extended 2026 highs.”
