Week Ahead: Markets Watching U.S. PCE for Tariff Impact

Week Ahead: 26 May 2025 Traders and investors will be closely monitoring developments following President Trump’s escalation of trade tensions, including a proposed 50% tariff on EU goods and potential duties on iPhones. Meanwhile, upcoming U.S. PCE inflation data and the release of the Fed minutes are expected to be key market drivers in the week ahead. Medium Term:  S&P 500 (SPX): The S&P 500 is currently testing the 5,780 support level. A rebound from this area could signal a resumption of the upward trend. However, if selling pressure persists, the next key support level is at 5,540. Traders can consider tactical long entries near 5,780 with stop-loss below 5,750. Target a rebound toward 6,000 and 6,147 if momentum returns. If breached: Shift to short bias toward 5,540 support zone. Investors to maintain core exposure but stay defensive. Accumulate selectively on confirmed rebound signals. Hang Seng Index (HSI): Our China Market Long-Term Cycle Indicator continues to si...

Bitcoin Reaches Our Price Target: A Recap from the Mastering Market Trend Class

  Bitcoin Reaches Our Price Target: A Recap from the Mastering Market Trend Webinar Following up on our E arlier Post after the Mastering Market Trend class, we observed a shift in demand and supply dynamics in late April, within the context of a three-month downtrend that extended from January to April 2025. After breaking above the outer boundary of our regression channel, price continued its upward movement (Demand > Supply), trending toward our first and second target levels. Demand remains in control. In the absence of significant supply, price may consolidate at current levels and potentially break above its all-time high (ATH) of USD 109,300. We continue to monitor closely for any signs of emerging supply. Disclaimers apply
