  • "The S&P 500 energy sector (XLE -10.7%) is today's worst performer, bringing its week-to-date losses to 29% and year-to-date losses above 50%."

Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The basis for today's sharp selloff remains much the same as in recent sessions: concerns about potential defaults for highly leveraged companies, expectations for a coronavirus-led economic growth slowdown or downturn that will reduce demand for oil, plunging oil prices (WTI -6.1% to $30.95/bbl; Brent -8.2% to $32.83/bbl) which are a symptom of the growth concerns and the Saudi-Russia price war, a likely wave of dividend cuts, tax-loss selling activity, etc."

EUR/USD Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "EUR/USD reversed direction last week as it turned sharply lower in response to a decision by the European Central Bank to keep Eurozone interest rates unchanged rather than cut them as most traders and analysts had expected."
  • "The ECB’s decision raised fears that it is failing to respond sufficiently to the threat of an economic recession prompted by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic."
  • "The downturn in EUR/USD may therefore continue even though the US Federal Reserve is expected to cut US interest rates again this week to help stimulate the US economy."

S&P 500 - bearish breakdown; 2,395 is support level for the bearish trend to be continuing (based on the article)

S&P 500 weekly Breanwashing Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "On January 9th, I pointed to cresting weekly and monthly cycles as reasons for a lower S&P 500. The actual high was on February 19th, and the index has dropped more than 20%. I once asked the late Art Merrill which factor was more important in determining the end of a market move…time or price. He responded by stating that price would be the primary factor. In that case, the 1987 crash could have been considered a mini bear market. Because the Fed can simply inject funds into the system without limit, corrective periods can be shorter and bear episodes can end more quickly. Sentiment has reversed from overly optimistic to very bearish in a short period of time. It appears that Thursday’s drop has put in a tradable low."

Federal Funds Rate and FOMC Statement (based on the article)

Dollar Index (DXY) daily chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Sunday evening started with a bang in the U.S. with the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee announcing its second emergency (intermeeting) rate cut in two weeks, with the Fed Funds target now set at 0% to 0.25%.  The markets quickly responded with a raspberry, as U.S. equity futures gyrated for a few minutes before hitting the “limit down” level of 5%."
  • "The Fed now has used up its ammunition.  There is really very little that the Fed or any other world central bank can do to ensure liquidity remains in the financial system.  Except for some weirdness in Thursday and Friday trading —which saw mortgage rates spike, for instance—this COVID-19 sell-off has been largely unaccompanied by any systemic financial system stress."
  • "Stocks are declining for a reason that is refreshing to those of us in the old-timers’ cohort.  Earnings estimates are declining and will continue to do so.  COVID-19’s impact on the earnings power of Corporate America is completely unknown at this point and, frighteningly, is also completely uncomprehended in consensus earnings estimates for the S&P 500."

Euro Stoxx 50 - bearish breakdown (based on the article)

Euro Stoxx 50 chart by Metatrader 5

  • "As the coronavirus spreads unabated, some European stock markets are banning short-sellers to try and stem the ongoing losses in the equity markets. Spain has banned short-selling for a month, while France, Italy and Belgium have also stopped the practice for shorter time frames to stop further losses. The Spanish equity market is currently 38% lower this year, France is down 37%, Italy has fallen by 41%, while the Belgium exchange has also shed around 40%. This massive loss of value over the last few weeks has prompted the current bans which may well be extended and copied by other exchanges if indiscriminate selling persists. The Euro Stoxx 50, made up of the 50 largest and most liquid European stocks, is down 37% this year with little support seen on the weekly chart until just over the 2,000 level."
  • "Central banks around the globe now to need to consider boosting their current monetary action further, while member states need to add a fiscal boost to stem the current economic mayhem. Countries around the world are either in or heading into recession and it will need a concerted global effort to try and cushion the economic blow. While monetary policy has helped to buffer the effect of the coronavirus, its effectiveness is wearing thin. A full-blown, whatever it takes, monetary and fiscal wave of liquidity and bottom-up support is now desperately needed."
