S&P500 - We are bearish the conflict continues,stocks will bleedS&P Index Cash CFD (USD)VANTAGE:SP500DG55CapitalThe S&P 500 hit 6,965 in January riding AI euphoria and rate cut hopes. Then Iran changed everything. Oil surged 36–39% since February 28. The Strait of Hormuz closed. Every company in this index now faces higher input costs and compressed margins — and the Fed cannot come to the rescue because inflation won’t let it. Rate cuts are off the table. A market at 22x forward earnings with no Fed support is simply expensive. The real danger hasn’t hit yet. Earnings season starts in May. CEOs will step up to the microphone for the first time since oil crossed $100 and guide down. Airlines, retailers, industrials, consumer discretionary — the numbers won’t hold. Wall Street’s 12–14% earnings growth projection was built on $70 oil and multiple rate cuts, and we are potentially looking at some rate HIKES if oil sr. That world is gone. Technicals confirm the thesis. Four consecutive losing weeks. 200-day moving average broken for the first time in 214 days!!!! VIX above 31. The Goldilocks era is over. The repricing comes in May when earnings guidance hits. Watch Crude Oil. Watch the Fed. Watch guidance. Entry: 6,588 Target: 6,350 SL: 6,700 - wide SL so we can give enough space for the trade to breathe. As always my friends Happy Trading!
