Technical Analysis Weekly Market Update

By Eli Levy, Senior Analyst

crude

Equities

The rally for U.S. equities closed the week higher yet again, marking the 3rd consecutive weekly gain after five straight weekly declines before that. It was a fast and remarkable rally, to say the least. WTI crude is down 12% and the VIX has pulled back to 17. Uncertainty around Iran, oil prices, and the potential economic fallout hasn’t fully dissipated — but markets are trading as if the war is effectively over and any oil price shock will prove short-lived.

Q1 First Week

The first week of Q1 earnings backed up the momentum right on cue. When S&P futures touched the all-time high, I looked for the catalyst that could push them through that ATH — and I saw the Magnificent 7 were still well below their own ATHs. Given their weighting in the index, the Mag 7 catching up could be the catalyst. Keep an eye on them.

Economic Calendar

The economic calendar was light; the one notable print was March PPI coming in well below estimates. Tech again showed relative strength across both AI infrastructure names and software — the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) is trading at fresh all-time highs, and the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Select ETF (IGV) gained 15% on the week.

Big Banks

Big banks kicked off earnings on an encouraging note. Only 46 S&P 500 names have reported so far, but of those 69% beat on the top line and 80% on the bottom line. Q1 revenue growth is tracking at 13.21% and EPS growth at 32.12% — strong early numbers, but with so little of the index reported it’s too soon to draw firm conclusions. ES futures ripped through every key resistance level — reclaiming the 200-, 100-, 50- and 20-day moving averages.

Final Notes

There is no meaningful resistance left on my charts except for the trendline on the SPX chart. I don’t know if we get a pullback, consolidate here, or keep melting up — but chasing all-time highs is not suitable for the faint of heart.

Mini-NASDAQ Amidst Iran News

nasdaq

Another wild day where we witnessed a sharp sell off on some Iran news around 8:45 Am central and it was a classic “buy the rumor, sell the fact” (or in reverse…. sell the rumor, buy the fact…)

A 5-minute chart of the mini-NASDAQ 100 for your review below:

May – July Wheat Spread

The May – July Wheat Spread accelerated its rally to satisfy the second upside PriceCount objective to the -6.5 area, consistent with a challenge of the winter high. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade. In the process, by trading through the March reactionary high, the chart negated the remaining unmet downside counts. At this point, if we can sustain further strength, the third count would project a possible run to the -3.5 area.

aaa4ab54 d9b5 4725 a215 5bd0972fc297

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

May KC – Chicago Wheat Spread

The May KC – Chicago Wheat Spread is attempting to extend its rally. If the chart can sustain further strength, the second upside PriceCount objective would project a possible run to the *42 area.

June Hogs

June Hogs activated downside PriceCount objectives off the February high. The chart is taking aim at the first count to the 101.49. At this point, if the low percentage fourth upside count is still valid, it would take a trade below the December reactionary low to formally negate the remaining unmet upside target.

Cannon Trading — Market Close Commodities Wrap

Energy

energy

Commodities ended the session mixed as markets continued to digest this week’s geopolitical swing and today’s macro tone. Energy stabilized, with WTI firmer and Brent still lagging as traders recalibrated risk after yesterday’s reports of a two‑week US–Iran ceasefire framework aimed at easing tensions and reopening Hormuz.

Products were steady after the recent volatility spike, though the market remains headline‑sensitive. Metals eased, with gold extending its controlled pullback as yields stayed elevated and the market continued to absorb the Fed’s data‑dependent stance from yesterday’s FOMC Minutes.

Copper

Copper held firm on balanced demand signals. Agriculture traded mixed, with soymeal showing relative strength while grains stayed range‑bound and softs continued to reflect tight supply dynamics. Cross‑asset flows leaned defensive, with a firmer dollar and ongoing fund positioning adjustments shaping late‑day action.

Tomorrow – CPI

Looking ahead to tomorrow, the focus shifts squarely to a heavy macro data slate. At 7:30am, markets will react to CPI, where expectations call for Core CPI m/m at 0.3% (prev 0.2%), headline CPI m/m at 1.0% (prev 0.3%), and CPI y/y at 3.4% (prev 2.4%) — a potentially market‑moving set that will drive yields, the dollar, and metals at the open.

At 9:00am, traders will watch Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment (51.6 exp vs. 53.3 prior) and Inflation Expectations (3.8%), followed by Factory Orders at ‑0.3% expected vs. 0.1% prior. The day rounds out with the Federal Budget Balance at 1:00pm.

Energy

Energy markets will remain sensitive to any overnight developments around the ceasefire negotiations, which continue to be the dominant swing factor for crude spreads and volatility. Metals will trade off the CPI‑driven move in yields and the dollar, while ag markets will focus on export demand and updated weather models. With volatility still elevated across commodities, tomorrow’s session will hinge on whether CPI cools the dollar or forces another round of repricing across risk assets.

July Corn

The rally in July Corn satisfied its third upside PriceCount objective last month and lost its momentum. On the correction lower, the chart activated fresh downside counts and completed the first objective. If the chart can sustain further weakness, the second count would project a possible slide to the 4.45 area.

Cannon Trading — Market Close Commodities Wrap

commodities

Commodities ended the session mixed as markets digested today’s EIA report and the FOMC Minutes, both of which helped reset positioning after a turbulent 48 hours.

Energy

Energy stabilized, with WTI holding modest gains while Brent remained heavy following yesterday’s major geopolitical swing: reports of a two‑week US–Iran ceasefire framework aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. That headline triggered one of the largest intraday reversals in years, and today’s trade reflected the market still recalibrating risk premiums.

Products firmed slightly after yesterday’s washout, though traders remain cautious given the fragile nature of the ceasefire talks and continued regional strikes reported overnight. Metals eased, with gold extending its orderly pullback from record highs as the Fed minutes reinforced a data‑dependent stance and nudged real yields higher.

Copper

Copper held steady on firm demand signals. Agriculture was mixed — soymeal led the complex, grains stayed range‑bound, and softs continued their weather‑driven strength. Cross‑asset flows leaned defensive, with a firmer dollar and ongoing fund deleveraging shaping late‑day price action.

Upcoming Announcements

Looking ahead to tomorrow, attention turns to Jobless Claims, USDA Export Sales, and how markets digest the Fed’s tone from today’s minutes. Energy traders will watch whether crude spreads stabilize overnight and whether any new developments emerge around the ceasefire negotiations, which remain the single biggest swing factor for crude volatility.

Metals

Metals will trade off yields and dollar direction, while ag markets will focus on export demand and updated weather models. Volatility remains elevated across the board, and tomorrow’s session will hinge on whether macro data cools the dollar or adds another layer of pressure to commodities and risk assets.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

June Mini SP

The June Emini S&P completed its third downside PriceCount and is corrected higher. At this point, IF the chart can resume its break with new sustained lows, we are left with the low percentage fourth count to aim for in the 6,100 area.

Good Friday Modified Schedule

good friday

With markets heading into the long Good Friday weekend, traders should be prepared for abbreviated trading hours this Friday, April 3rd, as U.S. futures will observe an early close. Despite the holiday, volatility risk remains elevated: we’ll still receive the monthly Jobs Report, and the market is watching the geopolitical war‑related deadline closely. The combination of reduced liquidity, event‑driven uncertainty, and shortened hours means price action can be sharper than usual. As always, plan positions accordingly and stay mindful of thinner order books heading into the close.

See the modified trading hours HERE

Please be advised of the adjusted market hours and Treasury processing procedures for Friday, April 3, 2026 (Good Friday), in conjunction with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Situation Report for March 2026, which is scheduled for release at 7:30 a.m. CT.
