US chartist Carter Holt is bearish, do you agree?

Hi Shawn, Carter Holt, well respected chartist in US thinks it’s another dead cat bounce, that we will definitely see more downside ( up to -10% from here) and advises against “ buying the story”. Far from over were his words, seeing 3,300 for S & P500. Food for thought. I tend to agree but will probably be wrong…David

Answer

Hi David,

MM has adopted a contrarian bullish view into Christmas looking for a test of the August high for the S&P500 i.e. around the 4300 area. This outlook has been formulated around a number of factors including  investors excessive bearish positioning / sentiment, seasonality factors and our view that bond yields have topped out for 2022.

However, we remain open-minded with our outlook towards 2023/4 with the resilience of company earnings likely to be the dominant factor as an economic slowdown plays out – another down leg towards 3300 by the S&P500 unfortunately wouldn’t surprise us – but we believe a more sustained bounce will play out first.
