Equities saw a monstrous ramp on tariff related news, the SPX swinging from an early low of 4948 to settle +474pts (9.5%) to 5456.

Summary
SPX: as things are, we’re net higher for the week by +382pts (7.5%). Weekly momentum has started to tick back upward. In theory, it should tick upward for at least 4-5 weeks.
Ohh, and to be quite clear… weekly momentum could tick upward ALL the wave into the late summer.
The bears need to restrain the market to the 5700/5800s.
Anything sustained >5850 would offer a straight run to new hist’ highs.
Lets see how we trade into the FOMC of May 7th.

Final note
Some perspective…

The April candle is becoming VERY spiky on the lower side.
I’d note the key 10MA at 5761, as the mid 5700s are very important.

Goodnight from London
