US stocks plunged on Friday, ended the week all in red, DJI and SPX closed 2.5% and 2.76% underwater YTD, and the tech dominant Nasdaq gave up almost all its gain this year, closed just 0.11% gain YTD, all by this week.
SPX closed just above its weekly low 2583.23, which was the lowest level since May 2018. SPX closed just marginally below 2600 level at 2599.95. Two important points worth to note: the American Association of Individual Investors(AAII) Investor Sentiment Survey figures and upcoming Fed rate announcement on Wednesday( Thursday 3am Singapore time). "Pessimism spiked to its highest level since Apr 2013"- seen from AAII statement below, the numbers should be read as a contrarian signal-- market often bounce off to the opposite direction when it hit one extreme. As for now, do expect a rebound in the coming week, in other words, we may still get Christmas rally this year- don't give up so early yet. However, if markets to continue drop in coming week(s), the next TP for SPX at 2400 level.
