The S&P 500 is in its most perilous position since late last summer, cautioned David Keller, the chief market strategist at StockCharts.com. After an uptick in volatility in March 2023, the S&P 500 enjoyed a virtually uninterrupted rally before peaking on the final day of July. Related storiesIn the meantime, investors should keep a close eye on two key technical support levels for the S&P 500, Keller said: 5,050 and 4,820. Utilities are one of only two parts of the market that's up in the last month, due to its risk-off nature. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is another compelling way to ride that rally, Keller said.

☆ The chartmaster who predicted the robust year-end rally shares when the S&P 500 will break through the 5,000 milestone — and outlines a 4-part investing blueprint for a disappointing pullback
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-21 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Just over two months ago, the S&P 500 was at a breaking point. After Keller's call, the S&P 500 rose nearly 6% in six weeks. The S&P 500 was stuck in purgatory for weeks, barely budging from the 4,769 level at which it entered 2024. David Keller, StockCharts.comExpect the S&P 500 to heat up heading into the summerDespite stocks' shaky near-term prospects, Keller believes their medium-term outlook is rosy. In all likelihood, Keller said the S&P 500 will regain momentum after a near-term hiccup and push toward the 5,000 milestone in April, May, or June.

Between 1910 and 1997, Black farmers lost around 90% of their property in the US. In 1920, there were nearly 1 million Black farmers in the United States, accounting for 14% of all farmers. But between 1910 and 1997, Black farmers lost around 90% of their property, while white farmers only lost 2% during the same time period. She hopes to create a platform that addresses economic and racial equity for Black farmers, while also encouraging sustainable agriculture. In the 19th century, after the Southern Farmers' Alliance refused to admit Black farmers except in certain chapters, Black farmers started the Colored Farmers' National Alliance and Co-operative Union.

☆ Buy the dip in Nvidia and make these 5 other investments now while stocks struggle, according to a long-time chart guru who called last month's market pullback
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

A bearish head-and-shoulders pattern has formed in the S&P 500, Keller said in a recent interview with Insider. The S&P 500 is in a head-and-shoulders pattern and could soon fall to around 4,100. His early August warning that stocks will slide was correct, though the S&P 500 didn't give up as much of its summer rally as the chart guru predicted. Outside of technology, Keller likes stocks in the utilities and energy sectors — specifically those in the oilfield services industry. The recent rebound of utilities, a defensive stalwart, is another signal that more market downside is likely ahead, Keller said.

US stocks have defied all odds this year, and the market rally only strengthened in July. After two months of nearly nonstop gains for the S&P 500, a long-time chartmaster warns that the weakness that markets displayed in early August is just the beginning. As expected, the S&P 500 rallied after October when that headwind passed, and finished 2022 with a bang. Charts that Keller studies also indicate that this market rally has reached its late innings. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking those sectors include the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF), the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI), and the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLB).

If the S&P 500 can avoid a pullback, it could make a push toward its all-time high. Investors who weren't ready for the remarkable stock market rally of the last three months may not have completely missed out yet, according to several strategists Insider recently spoke with. While some top investing minds think this market rally isn't trustworthy, others are confident that the path of least resistance for US stocks is higher. He believes the S&P 500 is more likely to hit new highs in early 2024 than retest its Fall low of about 3,500.

David Keller, StockCharts.comThe S&P 500 has pulled back from the critical technical resistance level of 4,000, Keller noted. A round number like that is not only seen as a significant milestone for psychological reasons, but it's also a key Fibonacci retracement level, Keller said. The S&P 500 will likely retest the 3,200 level at some point and will be hovering around current levels by the middle of next year, the veteran chartmaster said. It's currently at 24, down from 33.6 when the S&P 500 was at its mid-October lows. The S&P 500 can hit new highs and break the 5,000 mark by late 2023, Keller said, though he doubts a breakthrough will come any earlier than that.
