Commentary: Paul Ebeling on Wall Street

$DIA, $SPY, $QQQ, $VXX

Last Thursday, the Month/Quarter ended higher ahead of a 4 day Holiday Weekend, so the Big Q is does new money enter and help extend Thursday’s move, and do gains hold. And let’s not forget the volatility, will it calm.

Remember, a market rally has to have leaders, a market can start a rally, but if leadership fails to emerge it will fail.

What I am watching is if the DJIA and S&P 500 have set up the double bottom at the early February lows at the 61% and 78% Fibo retracement respectively.

It is Key for the leadership stocks start to make a new breaks North with volume, and if they do will play them based upon their individual and index patterns.

This week investors look to start April and Q-2 off with a positive outlook.

The March jobs report Friday will anchor the early-month economic data schedule, just ahead of Q-1 earnings that begin in earnest on 13 April. A speech from Fed Chairmen Jerome Powell Friday afternoon regarding the US economic outlook is a feature on the economic calendar this week.
